The optimized buffer system enables the DNA in the lysate to be efficiently and specifically bound to the silica matrix centrifugal adsorption column, while other contaminants can flow through the membrane, and the inhibitors of PCR and other enzymatic reactions can be effectively removed through a two-step washing step, and finally washed off with low-salt buffer or water, so that high-purity DNA can be obtained.The purified DNA can be used for downstream experiments such as digestion, PCR, Real-Time PCR, library construction, Southern Blot and molecular labeling, molecular labeling and other downstream experiments. Self-contained reagents: anhydrous ethanol; Enzymatic Lysis Buffer is required for extraction of Gram-positive bacteria.Enzymatic Lysis Buffer was prepared by 20 mM Tris, pH 8.0; 2 mM Na2-EDTA, pH 8.0; and 1.2% Triton X-100. 121°C sterilization for 20 minutes, and the appropriate amount of Lysozyme was added at a final concentration of 20 mg/ml. Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. Add 1.25ml Proteinase K Storage Buffer to Proteinase K to dissolve it and store it at -20℃. Do not leave the prepared Proteinase K at room temperature for a long time, and avoid repeated freezing and thawing to avoid affecting its activity.2. Repeated freezing and thawing of the sample should be avoided, as this may result in smaller DNA fragments and a decrease in the amount of extracted DNA.3. If extracting genomes from bacterial cultures with high accumulation of secondary metabolites or thick cell walls, it is recommended that samples be collected early in the logarithmic phase.4. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer GW1 and Buffer GW2 according to the instructions on the label of the reagent bottle before first use.5. Before use, please check Buffer GTL and Buffer GL for crystallization or precipitation. If crystallization or precipitation occurs, please re-dissolve Buffer GL and Buffer GTL in a 56℃ water bath.6. If the downstream experiments are sensitive to RNA contamination, 4µl of DNase-Free RNase A (100mg/ml) can be added before adding Buffer GL. RNase A is not provided in this kit.If the extracted samples are Gram-positive bacteria, customers need to prepare their own Enzymatic Lysis Buffer to treat the bacteria, which requires the use of Lysozyme (lysozyme) at a concentration of 20 mg/ml, which is not provided in this kit.Procedurei Extraction of genomic DNA from Gram-negative bacteria1. Take 1-5 ml of bacterial culture (106-108 cells, maximum 2×109 cells) and put it into a centrifuge tube (provided), centrifuge it at 12,000 rpm (~13,400×g) for 1 minute, and aspirate the supernatant as much as possible.2. Add 180 µl Buffer GTL to the precipitate and shake to resuspend the bacteria.3. Add 20 µl of Proteinase K, vortex and mix well, incubate at 56°C until the solution becomes clear, and invert or shake the centrifuge tube at intervals during the incubation to disperse the sample.Note: If RNA removal is required, add 4 µl of RNase A solution at a concentration of 100 mg/ml after the above steps are completed, shake to mix, and leave for 5-10 minutes at room temperature.4. Add 200µl Buffer GL and mix well with vortexing and shaking. Add 200µl of anhydrous ethanol and mix well with vortexing and shaking.Centrifuge briefly so that the solution on the walls of the tube collects at the bottom.Note: 1) If multiple samples are manipulated together, Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol can be mixed in equal proportions and then added together, shaking to mix.2) The addition of Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol may produce a white precipitate that will not affect subsequent experiments.5. Add all of the solution obtained in step 4 (including the precipitate formed) to the Spin Columns DM in the collection tube, or if the solution cannot be added all at once, transfer it several times. centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste solution, and return the column to the collection tube.6. Add 500 µl of Buffer GW1 to the adsorption column (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and return the adsorption column to the collection tube.7. Add 500 µl of Buffer GW2 to the adsorption column (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Note: Step 7 can be repeated if further DNA purity is required.8. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 2 minutes and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube. Leave the adsorbent column at room temperature for several minutes to dry thoroughly. Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorbent column; ethanol residue can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions (digestion, PCR, etc.).9. Place the adsorption column in a new centrifuge tube, add 50-200 µl Buffer GE to the middle part of the adsorption column overhanging the center of the adsorption column, leave it at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge it at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, collect the DNA solution, and store the DNA at -20 ℃. note: 1) If the downstream experiments are sensitive to the pH or EDTA, the elution can be done with sterilized water. The pH of the elution solution has a great influence on the elution efficiency. If water is used as the elution solution it should be ensured that its pH is 7.0-8.5 (the pH of water can be adjusted to this range with NaOH), and the elution efficiency is not high when the pH is lower than 7.0.2) Incubation at room temperature for 5 minutes prior to centrifugation increases yield.3) Re-elution with an additional 50-200 µl Buffer GE or sterilized water can increase the yield.4) If the final concentration of DNA is to be increased, the DNA eluate obtained in step 9 can be re-spiked onto the adsorbent membrane and step 9 repeated; if the elution volume is less than 200 µl, the final concentration of DNA can be increased, but the total yield may be reduced. If the amount of DNA is less than 1 µg, elution with 50 µl Buffer GE or sterilized water is recommended.(5) DNA stored in water will be affected by acidic hydrolysis. For long-term storage, it is recommended to elute with Buffer GE and store at -20℃.i. Extraction of genomic DNA from Gram-positive bacteria1.

Incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes.4. Add 20µl Proteinase K and mix well. Add 200µl of Buffer GL and mix well with vortexing and shaking.Note: Do not add Proteinase K directly to Buffer GL.Incubate at 5.56°C for 30 minutes.Note: 1) If desired, incubation at 95°C for 15 minutes will inactivate the pathogen, but 95°C incubation will cause some DNA degradation.(2) If RNA removal is required, add 4µl of RNase A solution at a concentration of 100mg/ml after the above steps are completed, shake and mix well, and leave for 5-10 minutes at room temperature.6. Add 200µl of anhydrous ethanol and mix well with vortex shaking.Note: The addition of anhydrous ethanol may produce a white precipitate that will not affect subsequent experiments.7.

The optimal amount of dye and the number of samples that can be processed may vary depending on the type ofProduct introduction：PMA qPCR live bacteria detection kit provides an effective means to detect bacterial activity. This kit provides a mixture of PMA dye and SYBR green dye based qPCR. The optimal amount of dye and the number of samples that can be processed may vary depending on the type of sample. PMA is a DNA binding dye with high affinity, especially with double stranded DNA. The dye itself has weak fluorescence, but it can emit brighter fluorescence after binding with nucleic acids. PMA is impermeable to the cell membrane, so it can selectively modify the DNA of dead cells with damaged membrane. After bllight (~464 nm) photolysis of PMA modified DNA, the photoreactive azido group on PMA is converted into highly reactive azene radical, which reacts with any hydrocarbon moiety near the DNA binding site to form a stable covalent nitrogen carbon bond, resulting in permanent DNA modification. This modification process will make the DNA insoluble, and it will be lost together with cell debris in the later genomic DNA extraction process. The unbound PMA remaining in the solution reacts with water molecules under strong light irradiation and decomposes into hydroxylamine compounds without cross-linking activity, so that it can no longer covalently bind DNA. Based on this characteristic of PMA, our company combines PMA and qPCR technology to form a new detection method - PMA qPCR, which is used for the screening of live bacteria. At present, the method has been validated in a variety of bacterial strains as well as yeast, fungi, viruses and parasites. The treatment of complex samples, such as feces or soil, may require optimization of sample dilution, dye concentration, and light treatment time. Treatment of diluted samples, such as water testing, may require filtration or concentration prior to dye treatment. Component： Instruction： Precautions before use：1.This live bacteria detection kit distinguishes dead bacteria and live bacteria according to cell membrane permeability. Many methods of killing bacteria cause damage to the cell membrane and are therefore compatible with this kit. But some methods, such as ultraviolet irradiation, may not immediately cause cell membrane rupture. Therefore, before selecting this kit, it is necessary to carry out literature search and pre-experiment to determine whether the kit is suitable for the bacterial type and killing method you choose. 2.After PMA treatment, the bacteria need to be photolyzed to covalently bind the dye to dead cell DNA. Photolysis operations can use blue or white light sources. Generally speaking, the brighter the lamp, the higher the efficiency of the photolysis step. Non-LED lamps ( such as halogen lamps ) may heat your sample and have a negative impact on the analysis. Ice is required to cool the sample during irradiation. 3.Sample can be cryopreservation after photolysis. Frozen samples before PMA treatment photolysis may damage the cell membrane and produce false negative results. If the sample needs to be frozen before detection, it is recommended to perform a pre-experiment first. 4.Part of the mechanism of PMA is to remove PMA covalently modified DNA from the sample by precipitation ; therefore, when extracting genomic DNA, it is necessary to use the same volume of genomic DNA eluent for volume normalization. The positive control can use the genomic DNA of living cells. 5.In order to verify the effectiveness of PMA in the test sample, the Ct ( dCt ) changes between- / + PMA can be compared. Experimental materials ( self-provided )：①Light source ( used for the photolysis step after PMA modified DNA ) ;② Bacterial genomic DNA extraction kit ; Experimental procedure： 1.Suck 10 µL of E.coli bacterial solution in liquid LB medium, and culture E.coli in the bacterial incubator overnight or longer to the logarithmic growth phase ( OD600 ≈ 1.0 ) ; Note : The culture time is adjusted according to the experiment. 2.Two portions of live E.coli, 400 µL each, were placed in a clean centrifuge tube ; 3. ( Recommended ) Preparation of dead E.coli. If the dead E.coli is needed as a control, the dead E.coli can be obtained by heating the living E.coli in a water bath at 95 °C for 5 min, or at 58 °C for 3 h. the subsequent operation of the dead E. coli is the same as that of the living E. coli ; 4.Two copies of live E.coli, one without PMA treatment, and one with 25 µM PMA treatment ( the optimal PMA concentration for treating different types or different sources of bacteria needs to be consulted in the relevant literature ) ; 5.The PMA-treated samples were placed on a shaker at room temperature and incubated in the dark for 10 min to fully mix the dye with the sample ; 6.Exposure of the sample, you can use blue or white light source, irradiation time to explore their own. For example, a 60 W blue light can be used for 15 min. Note : 1 If a halogen lamp is used, we recommend that the PMA-treated sample tube be placed on an ice block 20 cm away from the light source. Ice should be placed in a transparent tray. Adjust the light source to point directly to the sample, photolysis for 5-15 min ; if the bacteria obtained from the environment are directly used for experiments, due to the complexity or turbidity of the environmental samples, the photolysis time needs to be prolonged appropriately. 7.Treated and untreated live E.coli 5000 × g, centrifuged for 10 min, remove the supernatant ; 8.Select the appropriate genomic DNA extraction kit according to the sample type, and use the same elution volume for each group of samples when elution DNA. Note : DNA extraction steps refer to the instructions of the kit used. Part of the mechanism of action of PMA is to remove PMA-bound DNA from the sample by precipitation ; therefore, when extracting genomic DNA, each group should use the same volume of genomic DNA eluent for volume normalization ( the amount of genomic DNA extracted from dead bacteria and live bacteria is inconsistent, so the concentration of the two is significantly different ). 9.Preparation of reaction mixture according to the following system : Note : 1 For the DNA extracted by commercial DNA extraction kit, the qPCR template was optimized with 2 µL as the initial volume ; 2 The template volume should not exceed 10 % of the final reaction volume ; 3 Template concentration : gDNA as template, usually 1-10 ng ; the final concentration of PCR primers is usually 0.4µM, which can get better results. When the reaction performance is poor, the primer concentration can be adjusted in the range of 0.2-1µM. 10.Slightly vortex the reaction mixture, transfer the fixed volume to the PCR tube. 11. Test procedureNote : 1 The extension time is adjusted according to the instrument ; the Taq enzyme in mix can be activated within 2 min, but the genomic DNA may require longer denaturation time, which can be increased at this time, and the specific denaturation time can be adjusted according to the sample type. 12. ( Optional ) Data analysis Using live bacteria and dead bacteria as controls, the number of live cells in the sample was analyzed and calculated. It is recommended to verify the suitability of primers and PCR procedures before starting PMA qPCR detection of live bacteria. Calculation of dead and living bacteria control dCt ( 1 ) After the end of qPCR, the Ct value of each sample was calculated by instrument software ; ( 2 ) By calculating the dCt of each control bacteria, it was judged whether PMA successfully inhibited the amplification of dead bacterial DNA. The calculation is as follows : dCt live = Ct ( live, PMA treated ) -Ct ( live, PMA untreated ) dCt die = Ct ( die, PMA treated ) -Ct ( die, PMA untreated ) ( 3 ) The dCt expectation of living bacteria is close to 0 ± 1, which indicates that PMA does not affect the amplification of living cell DNA ; ( 4 ) The expected value of dCt of dead bacteria is greater than 4 ( dCt is 4 means that it is reduced by about 16 times, that is, 94 % of dead bacterial DNA is removed ; a dCt of 8 indicated a decrease of about 250 times, that is, 99.6 % of the dead bacterial DNA was removed ).( 5 ) The dCt of dead bacteria depends on many factors, including : strain / cell type ; the way bacteria are killed ; the concentration of PMA used ; amplified sequence length. 3. Calculation of the proportion of viable ( optional ) bacteria If the control results of dead and live bacteria are normal, the proportion of live bacteria in the sample can be calculated.( 1 ) Calculate the dCt value of the sample : dCt sample = Ct ( sample, PMA treated ) -Ct ( sample, PMA untreated ) ( 2 ) Conversion of dCt value to live bacteria ratio : PMA inhibition multiple = 2 ( sample dCt ) Viable bacteria % = 100 / PMA inhibition multiple 14. ( Optional ) Calculate the absolute number of live bacteria If you want to calculate the absolute number of viable bacteria in the sample, you need to use a known number of target bacteria genomic DNA to make a standard curve. It is recommended that the diluted concentrations of several groups of genomes are within the range of the qPCR analysis system. ( 1 ) qPCR was performed with the appropriate genome, and the Ct value was used as the ordinate, and the number of cells was used as the abscissa. The R2 value is calculated to determine the linearity, and the slope and y-axis intercept are displayed.( 2 ) Calculate the copy number of the experimental samples : Ct = slope * cell number + y axis intercept ( y = mx + b ) Bacterial count sample = ( Ct-y axis intercept ) / slope Note : The live bacterial DNA was not lost during the purification process.

In addition to yeast cells, it can also be used in E. coli. Plasmid DNA extracted with this kit can be used in various molecular biology experiments, such as ligation, transformation, sequencing and library screening.Self-contained reagents: β-mercaptoethanol, anhydrous ethanol.Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. All components can be stably stored in dry, room temperature (15-30℃) environment for 1 year, the adsorption column can be stored at 2-8℃ for a longer period of time, and Buffer P1 with RNase A can be stably stored at 2-8℃ for 6 months.2. Before the first use, add all the RNase A solution to Buffer P1, mix well, and store at 2-8℃.3. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer PW before first use according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.4. Before use, please check whether Buffer P2 and Buffer N3 are crystallized or precipitated. If there is any crystallization or precipitation phenomenon, it can be clarified by taking a water bath at 37℃ for a few minutes to restore the clarity.5. Be careful not to touch Buffer P2 and Buffer N3 directly, and tighten the lid immediately after use.6. The amount of plasmid extracted is related to the yeast strain, plasmid copy number, culture conditions, etc. Usually, yeast plasmid copy number is very low, which is difficult to be detected by electrophoresis or spectrophotometer method.Procedure1. Take 1-5 ml of yeast culture (maximum 5×107 yeast cells, generally for Saccharomyces cerevisiae OD = 1.0, equivalent to 1-2×107 cells/ml) and add it to a centrifuge tube (self-provided), centrifuge for 30 seconds at 12,000 rpm (~13,400×g), collect the bacterial precipitate, and aspirate as much as possible to discard the supernatant.2. Add 250µl Buffer P1 to the bacterium (please check if RNase A has been added first) and resuspend the precipitate.3. Add 40mg of Glass Beads to the above mixture and vortex and shake for 10 minutes.4. Add 250 µl of Buffer P2 to the centrifuge tube, mix gently by turning up and down 6-8 times, and let stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes, at which time the bacterial solution should become clear and viscous.Note: Mix gently, do not shake violently, so as not to interrupt the genomic DNA, resulting in genomic DNA fragments mixed in the extracted plasmid. If the solution does not become clear, it suggests that the amount of bacteria may be too large and the lysis is not complete, and the amount of bacteria should be reduced.5. Add 350 µl of Buffer N3 to the centrifuge tube and immediately mix gently up and down 6-8 times, at which point a white flocculent precipitate appears, and centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 20 minutes.Note: Buffer N3 should be mixed immediately after addition to avoid localized precipitation.6. Column Equilibration: Add 200 µl of Buffer PS to the Spin Columns DM in the collection tube, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid from the collection tube, and place the column back into the collection tube.7. Add the supernatant from step 5 to the adsorbent column that has been loaded into the collection tube, taking care not to aspirate the precipitate.Note: The maximum volume of the adsorption column is 750 µl, and the solution is passed through the column in 2 times.8. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.9. Add 150 µl Buffer PB to the adsorbent column, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 min, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorbent column back into the collection tube.10. Add 750 µl Buffer PW to the adsorption column (please check that anhydrous ethanol has been added first), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube.11. Place the column back into the recovery collection tube and centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 2 minutes, pouring off the waste liquid. Leave the column at room temperature for several minutes to dry thoroughly.Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column; ethanol residue can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions (digestion, PCR, etc.).12. Place the adsorbent column in a new centrifuge tube, add 50-100 µl of Buffer EB to the center of the adsorbent membrane dropwise, let it stand at room temperature for a few minutes, centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 1 minute, and collect the plasmid solution into the centrifuge tube. Store the plasmid at -20°C.Attention:1) To increase the recovery efficiency of the plasmid, the resulting solution can be reintroduced into the adsorbent column, left at room temperature for a few minutes, centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 1 minute, and the plasmid solution collected into a centrifuge tube.2) When the plasmid copy number is low or >10 kb, Buffer EB is preheated at 65-70°C in a water bath, which can increase the extraction efficiency.3) Usually yeast plasmids have very low copy number and are difficult to detect by electrophoresis or spectrophotometry. If the extracted plasmid is to be used in the next step of the experiment, it is usually recommended to use 1-5µl of the plasmid as PCR template, and 5-10µl of the plasmid for transformation of E. coli.4) Commercial high transformation efficiency receptor cells should be used for transformation of E. coli...
