Specimen processing:(1) After collecting the water sample, it is repeatedly freeze-thawed three times at -20 ℃, and then filtered through glass fiber for future reference(2) The tissue samples should be extracted using butanol: methanol: water (5:25:70 V: V: V), or extracted according to relevant literature. The experiment should be conducted as soon as possible after extraction. If the experiment cannot be conducted immediately, the specimen can be stored at -20 ℃ for future reference2. Samples containing NaN3 cannot be detected as NaN3 inhibits the activity of horseradish peroxidase (HRP).Operation steps:1. Sample addition: Set up standard wells, blank wells (blank control wells do not include samples and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reagents, the other steps are the same), and sample wells to be tested. Add 50 microliters to the standard well on the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plate, and first add 40 diluents to the sample well to be tested µ l. Then add 10 more samples to be tested µ L (The final dilution of the sample is 5 times). Add the sample to the bottom of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plate well, avoiding touching the well wall as much as possible. Gently shake and mix well.2. Enzyme addition: Add 50 enzyme labeled reagents to each well µ l. Excluding blank holes.3. Warm incubation: Seal the plate with a sealing film and incubate at 37 ℃ for 60 minutes.4. Solution preparation: Dilute 30 times the concentrated washing solution with distilled water and set aside for later use5. Washing: Carefully remove the sealing film, discard the liquid, shake dry, fill each well with washing solution, let it stand for 30 seconds, then discard. Repeat this process 5 times and pat dry.6. Color development: Add color development agent A50 to each well first µ l. Add color developer B50 again µ l. Gently shake and mix well, and develop color at 37 ℃ in the dark for 15 minutes7. Termination: Add 50% termination fluid to each hole µ l. Terminate the reaction (at this point, the blue color immediately turns yellow).8. Measurement: Zero the blank hole and sequentially measure the absorbance (OD value) of each hole at a wavelength of 450nm. The measurement should be conducted within 15 minutes after adding the termination solution.Calculation:Draw a standard curve on a coordinate paper with the concentration of the standard substance as the x-axis and the OD value as the y-axis. Based on the OD value of the sample, determine the corresponding concentration from the standard curve; Multiply it by the dilution factor; Alternatively, a linear regression equation can be used to calculate the standard curve using the concentration and OD value of the standard substance. The OD value of the sample can be substituted into the equation to calculate the sample concentration, which is then multiplied by the dilution factor to obtain the actual concentration of the sample.Notes:1. The kit should be balanced at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before use when taken out from the cold storage environment. If the enzyme coated plate is not used up after opening, the Flat noodles should be stored in a sealed bag.2. Concentrated detergent may precipitate crystals. When diluted, it can be heated in a water bath to aid in dissolution. Washing does not affect the results.3. A sampler should be used for each step of sample addition, and its accuracy should be regularly calibrated to avoid experimental errors. It is best to control the sample addition time within 5 minutes. If there are a large number of specimens, it is recommended to use a firing gun for sample addition.4. Please make a standard curve at the same time as each measurement, preferably with a re hole. If the content of the substance to be tested in the sample is too high (the OD value of the sample is greater than the OD value of the first well of the standard well), please dilute the sample diluent by a certain multiple (n times) before measurement. When calculating, please multiply the total dilution multiple (x n x 5).5. The sealing film is only for one-time use to avoid cross contamination.6. Please store the substrate in dark.7. Strictly follow the instructions and determine the test results based on the reading of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader8. All samples, washing liquids, and various waste should be treated as infectious substances.9. The components of this reagent with different batch numbers shall not be mixed.Detection range:two µ G/L-90 µ G/L... Read More | Cell proliferation detection is a basic experimental method to evaluate the health of cells, genotoxicity and the effect of antitumor drugs. The most accurate method to detect cell proliferation is the BrdU method. Edu detection kit is a revolutionary breakthrough of BrdU method. Edu (5-ethynyl-2 '-Cell proliferation detection is a basic experimental method to evaluate the health of cells, genotoxicity and the effect of antitumor drugs. The most accurate method to detect cell proliferation is the BrdU method. Edu detection kit is a revolutionary breakthrough of BrdU method. Edu (5-ethynyl-2 '- deoxyuridine) is a pyrimidine analog that integrates into the DNA duplex during DNA synthesis. Edu detection is based on the "click" reaction. A copper catalyzed azide reacts covalently with alkynes to form covalent bonds. In this kit, edu contains alkynes, Aladdin ® 488 / 555/594/647a azide dyes contain azide compounds. The edu labeling proliferation of click method is rapid and effective, and easy to use. BrdU method requires DNA denaturation (such as acid denaturation, thermal denaturation or digestion with DNase) to expose BrdU, so as to facilitate BrdU antibody binding; The edu method only needs paraformaldehyde fixation and Triton X-100 penetration to make the detection reagent enter the cells, and only a small amount of azide dye is needed to label the integrated edu very effectively. This kit contains all components required for edu method detection, and can be used for proliferation detection of cultured cells in vitro.

Read More | When apoptosis occurs, some DNA endonucleases will be activated. These endonucleases will cut off genomic DNA between nucleosomes and produce 180 bp-200 BP DNA fragments, which appear as a specific ladder pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis. When double strand or single strand breaks occur in When apoptosis occurs, some DNA endonucleases will be activated. These endonucleases will cut off genomic DNA between nucleosomes and produce 180 bp-200 BP DNA fragments, which appear as a specific ladder pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis. When double strand or single strand breaks occur in genomic DNA, a large number of sticky 3'-oh ends will be generated, which can interact with YF under the catalysis of deoxyribonucleotide terminal transferase (TDT) ®/ CY dUTP binding can directly detect apoptotic cells by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. This kind of method is called terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL). Because normal or proliferating cells have almost no DNA breaks, there is no 3'-oh formation and they can rarely be stained. TUNEL method can stain intact single apoptotic nuclei or apoptotic bodies in situ, can accurately reflect the typical biochemical and morphological characteristics of apoptosis, and can detect a very small number of apoptotic cells, so it is widely used in the study of apoptosis. This kit has a wide range of applications and can be used to detect apoptosis in frozen or paraffin sections, as well as cultured adherent cells or suspended cells. It can selectively detect apoptotic cells, but not necrotic cells or cells with DNA strand breaks caused by irradiation and drug treatment. This kit detects cell apoptosis with a short time-consuming, one-step staining reaction and can be detected after washing.

Please use the CSV format for this export | Product introduction：Dualucif The firefly & Renilla assay kit (dual luciferase reporter assay kit) provides an effective means to detect the expression of genes. In DLR detection, the activities of firefly luciferase and Renilla luciferase can be detected in a single sample in turn. FirstProduct introduction：Dualucif The firefly & Renilla assay kit (dual luciferase reporter assay kit) provides an effective means to detect the expression of genes. In DLR detection, the activities of firefly luciferase and Renilla luciferase can be detected in a single sample in turn. First, luciferin was used as substrate to detect the activity of firefly luciferase, then substances inhibiting the catalysis of firefly luciferase were added, and coelenterazine was added to detect the activity of Renilla luciferase to achieve dual luciferase reporter gene detection. The bioluminescence system of luciferase and its substrate can detect gene expression very sensitively and efficiently. Usually, the transcriptional regulatory element or 5'promoter region of the gene of interest is cloned upstream of luciferase, or the 3'-utr region is cloned downstream of luciferase to construct a reporter gene plasmid, and then transfect the cells. After the cells are treated with appropriate drugs, the cells are lysed, and the transcriptional regulation effect of drug treatment on the target gene is judged by detecting the luciferase activity. Renilla luciferase is more often used as an internal reference for detecting transfection efficiency to eliminate the difference in cell number and transfection efficiency. Firefly luciferase is a protein with a molecular weight of about 61 kDa. In the presence of ATP, magnesium ions and oxygen, it can catalyze the production of oxyluciferin from luciferin. In the process of luciferin oxidation, it will produce a light signal. Renilla luciferase is a protein with a molecular weight of about 36 kDa. In the presence of oxygen, it can catalyze the oxidation of coelenteramide to coelenteramide, and also produce light signals in the process of coelenteramide oxidation. The optical signal of this kit can be measured by chemiluminescence instrument, microplate reader or liquid scintillation tester. The kit has the characteristics of rapid detection, high sensitivity, wide detection range and no interference of cell endogenous activity.Instruction：1.Cell lysis ( 1 ) Remove the medium and gently wash twice with PBS ( adherent cells can be operated directly, suspension cells need to be centrifuged to collect cells ). Add 1 × Lysis Buffer ( diluted component A with sterile water at 4 : 1 ) according to the following scheme, and then place the culture plate on a micro-oscillator at room temperature for 15 min to fully lyse the cells. Note : The pyrolysis products can be stored at room temperature for 6 h, and can be stored at − 70 °C for a long time ( the pyrolysis products cannot be repeatedly frozen and thawed ). ( 2 ) The pyrolysis products were centrifuged at 10000-15000 rpm for 3-5 min. After centrifugation, the supernatant was transferred into a new EP tube for subsequent detection. Note : Cells can be detected immediately after lysis, or frozen, and re-detected when needed. The frozen samples need to be thawed to room temperature for detection. 2. Preparation of working fluid ( 1 ) Restore all components to room temperature. ( 2 ) Dilute component C with component B to 0.2 mg / mL firefly luciferase working solution. Note : The firefly luciferase working solution cannot be repeatedly frozen and thawed. If the amount of a single experiment is small, it is recommended to be subpackaged into small specifications according to a single amount of use. ( 3 ) The E component was diluted into the renilla luciferase working solution with the D component, and the dilution method was 1 µL E component was added to the 49 µL D component. Note : Renilla luciferase working solution needs to be prepared now. 3.chemiluminescence value detection ( 1 ) According to the operation instructions of the instrument, the instrument with chemiluminescence detection function was opened, such as multifunctional microplate reader. The parameters were set, the determination time was 10 s, and the determination interval was 2 s. ( 2 ) each sample determination, take the sample 20-100 µL ( if the sample volume is enough, please add 100 µL ; if the sample amount is insufficient, the amount can be appropriately reduced, but the amount of detection holes needs to be consistent ). 1 × Lysis Buffer was blank control. ( 3 ) 100 µL firefly luciferase working solution was added to determine the RLU ( relative light unit ) value ( it is recommended that the microplate reader set up the Shaking mixing function ). Note : Since the luminescence is instantaneous, it is recommended to detect immediately after adding the firefly luciferase working solution. ( 4 ) 100 µL renilla luciferase working solution was added to determine the RLU ( relative light unit ) value ( Shaking mixing function is recommended for microplate reader ). ( 5 ) In the case of renilla luciferase as an internal reference, the RLU value measured by firefly luciferase was divided by the RLU value measured by renilla luciferase. According to the obtained ratio, the activation degree of the target reporter gene between different samples was compared. If firefly luciferase is used as an internal reference, similar calculations can also be performed.Component：Recommendation：It is recommended to use component B in advance to prepare 2 mg / mL storage solution, component B, component D and component C prepared as storage solution, and to carry out small batch packing according to the experimental requirements. All test working fluids are recommended to be used now to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.Matters needing attention：1. please centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube immediately before use, and then conduct subsequent experiments. 2. in order to obtain the best determination effect, when using a single tube chemiluminescence instrument for determination, the time from the mixing of sample and determination reagent to the pre determination should be controlled as much as possible; When using a multi-functional fluorescent microplate reader with chemiluminescence detection function, it is advisable to add all samples first, and then uniformly add firefly luciferase detection reagent. 3. the strongest wavelength of firefly luciferase catalyzed bioluminescence is 560 nm, and the strongest wavelength of Renilla luciferase catalyzed bioluminescence is 480 nm. 4. to prevent interference between holes, it is recommended to use white opaque orifice plate. 5. due to the influence of temperature on enzyme reaction, the sample and reagent should be measured after reaching room temperature. 6. for your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and disposable gloves.Scope of application：Study on gene expression regulation and promoter...
