| Description | This reagent kit is specially developed for one-step RT-PCR experiments. Reverse transcription and PCR are carried out in the same reaction system, without the need to add reagents or open the tube cap during the reaction process, which improves detection sensitivity and experimental efficiency This reagent kit is specially developed for one-step RT-PCR experiments. Reverse transcription and PCR are carried out in the same reaction system, without the need to add reagents or open the tube cap during the reaction process, which improves detection sensitivity and experimental efficiency while avoiding contamination. This kit includes a brand new high-efficiency reverse transcriptase, a fast hot start DNA polymerase, as well as reaction buffer suitable for reverse transcription and PCR amplification, and other components necessary for the experiment. The loss of activity of SuperRT reverse transcriptase RNase H reduces RNA degradation in reverse transcription reactions. This reverse enzyme has high reverse transcription efficiency and can perform good reverse transcription reactions on a small amount of RNA templates. The rapid hot start DNA polymerase used in PCR reaction has excellent performance of high amplification efficiency, strong specificity, and fast extension speed. The unique buffering system maximizes the efficiency of both reverse transcriptase and polymerase. The target product amplified using this reagent kit has an A base attached to the 3 'end, which can be directly used for T/A cloning.S665660Component100 TStorageS665660ASuperRT OneStep EnzymeMix50 µL-20℃.

During the operation process, RNase contamination should be avoided to prevent RNA degradation or cross contamination during experiments. It is recommended to perform RNA operations in specialized areas, use specialized instruments and consumables, and have operators wear masks and disposable gloves, and frequently change gloves.2. Disposable plastic containers should be used as much as possible for experiments. If glass containers are used, they should be treated with a 0.1% DEPC (diethyl pyrocarbonate) aqueous solution at 37 ℃ for 12 hours, and sterilized under high pressure at 120 ℃ for 30 minutes before use. Alternatively, glass containers should be sterilized under dry heat at 180 ℃ for 60 minutes before use. The sterile water used in the experiment should be treated with 0.1% DEPC and then subjected to high-pressure sterilization.3. All reagents in this reagent kit should be gently mixed upside down before use, avoiding foaming as much as possible, and used after brief centrifugation. The enzymes involved should be returned to -20 ℃ as soon as possible after use to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.4. This reagent kit must use specific primers, and the selection of primers can be based on specific experiments. The quality of primer design directly affects the results of RT-PCR reactions. When designing primers, factors such as GC content, primer length, primer position, and the secondary structure of PCR products need to be considered. It is recommended to use professional primer design software.Usage:1. Dissolve the RNA template, primers, OneStep RT-PCR Buffer, SuperRT OneStep RT-PCR EnzymeMix, and RNase Free Water and place them on ice for later use.2. Prepare the reaction system according to the following table: Reagent 25 µlReaction system Final concentration 2×SuperRT OneStep Buffer 12.5 µl 1× Forward Primer，10 µM 1 µl 0.4 µM Reverse Primer，10 µM 1 µl 0.4 µM SuperRT OneStep EnzymeMix 0.5 µl / RNA Template X µl 1 pg – 1 µg RNase-Free Water up to 25 µl / Attention: The primer concentration should be between 0.1 and 1.0 as the final concentration µ M serves as a reference for setting the range. In the case of low amplification efficiency, the concentration of primers can be increased; When non-specific reactions occur, the primer concentration can be reduced to optimize the reaction system.3. Vortex and shake well, centrifuge briefly, and collect the solution to the bottom of the tube.4. Preheat the thermal cycler to 45 ℃, place the PCR tube in the thermal cycler, and perform RT-PCR reaction.Reaction conditions: Step Temperature Time / Reverse transcription 45℃ 30 min / PCR pre denaturation 95℃ 2 min Denaturation 94℃ 30 s 30-40 cycles Anneal 55-65℃ 30 s 30-40 cycles Extend 72℃ 30 s 30-40 cycles Finally extended 72℃ 5 min /Attention:1) In general PCR experiments, the annealing temperature is 5 ℃ lower than the melting temperature Tm of the amplification primer, and the annealing time is generally 20-30 seconds. If the ideal amplification efficiency cannot be achieved, the annealing temperature should be appropriately reduced; When non-specific reactions occur, increase the annealing temperature to optimize the reaction conditions.2) The extension time is set based on the size of the amplified fragments, and the DNA Polymerase amplification efficiency contained in this product is 1 kb/30s.3) The number of cycles can be set based on the downstream application of the amplification product. Too few cycles, insufficient amplification; Multiple cycles increase the probability of mismatches and result in severe non-specific backgrounds. Therefore, while ensuring product yield, the number of cycles should be minimized as much as possible.5. After the reaction is complete, take 5 µ l of the reaction product, add an appropriate amount of loading buffer, and perform electrophoresis detection results...

This kit contains Calcein-AM and Propidium Iodide (PI) solutions, which stains viable and dead cells, respectively(Fig. 1). Calcein-AM, an acetoxymethyl ester of calcein, is highly Calcein AM /PI Double Staining Kitis utilized for simultaneous fluorescence staining of viable and dead cells. This kit contains Calcein-AM and Propidium Iodide (PI) solutions, which stains viable and dead cells, respectively(Fig. 1). Calcein-AM, an acetoxymethyl ester of calcein, is highly lipophilic and cell membrane permeable. Though Calcein-AM itself is not a fluorescent molecule, the calcein generated from Calcein-AM by esterase in a viable cell emits a strong green fluorescence (excitationat 490 nm, emission at515 nm). Therefore, Calcein-AM only stains viable cells. On the other hand, PI, a nuclei staining dye, cannot pass through a viable cell membrane. It reaches the nucleus by passing through disordered areas of dead cell membrane, and intercalates with the DNA double helix of the cell to emit red fluorescence (excitation: 535 nm,emmision: 617 nm). Since both calcein and PI-DNA can be excited with 490 nm, simultaneous monitoring of viable and dead cells is possible with a fluorescence microscope. With 545 nm excitation, only dead cells can be observed (Fig. 1). Since optimal staining conditions differ from cell line to cell line, we recommend that a suitable concentration of PI and Calcein-AM be individually determined. Please note that PI is suspected to be highly carcinogenic;careful handling is required.Required Equipment and Materials:Microscope with 490 nm excitation filter and 530 nm emission filter；CO2incubator；10 µl and 200 µl adjustable pipettes, PBSSolution A (Calcein-AM)；Solution B (PI) Storage Condition: -20oC ；Shipping Condition: blue ice.Application:Assay Procedure1)Add 2.5 µl Solution A and 12.5 µl Solution B to 5 ml PBS to prepare assay solution.*2)Wash the cell with PBS several times to remove residual esterase activity.3)Add 100uLof assay solution to200uL105~106CELLSsolution and incubate the mixture at 37oC for 15 min.4)Detect fluorescence using a fluorescence mircoscope with 490 nm excitationfor simultaneous monitoring of viable and dead cells.With 545 nm excitation, only dead cells can be observed.*The following steps may be necessary tooptimizethe suitable concentration of each reagent:1)Prepare dead cells by 10 min incubation in 0.1% saponin or 0.1-0.5% digitonin or by 30 min incubation in 70% ethanol.2)Stain dead cells with 0.1-10 µM PI solution to find a PI concentration that stains the nucleus only, not the cytosol.3)Stain dead cells with 0.1-10 µM Calcein-AM solution to find a Calcein-AM concentration that does not stain the cytosol. Then stainviable cells with that Calcein-AM solution to check whether the viable cell can be stained...

The reagent contains two chemicals, sulfonic acid and n- (1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine. Under acidic conditions, sulfamic acid is converted into diazonium salt by nitrite, which can form a highly colored azo dye with n- (1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine. This dye can be detected at 548 nm: because no is extremely unstable, it is oxidized to form nitrite and nitrate. Griess indirectly reflects the content of no by detecting the content of nitrite.Matters needing attention：1. before using Griess reagent, return it to room temperature and check the solution for precipitation. If Griess reagent I contains sediment when taken out, it can be placed in a 37 ℃ water bath until the sediment dissolves. 2. this product is potentially harmful. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Avoid entering eyes, skin or clothing. Please wear lab clothes and disposable gloves for operation.Scope of application：No detectionComponent：Instruction：1.Griess Reagent I and II were taken out to restore the room temperature.2.Standard dilution : The standard NaNO2 ( 1-100 µM ) was diluted with the solution used for the sample to be tested. The standard was diluted to 1 µM, 10 µM, 20 µM, 40 µM, 80 µM and 100 µM, and 100 µL standard was added to each well. If the sample concentration is too low, the range of the standard curve can be appropriately reduced ( 1 µM, 2 µM, 3 µM, 4 µM, 6 µM, 8 µM, 10 µM ).3.Sample detection :( 1 ) According to the total volume of 200 µL / hole, 100 µL / hole sample was added to the 96-well plate ; if the sample is the supernatant of the culture medium, it can be sampled directly, and if there is sediment, the supernatant should be taken after centrifugation. If the sample is a cell or tissue, it can be quickly lysed by freeze-thaw, and then centrifuged to obtain the supernatant. The volume of less than 100 µL can be diluted with diH2O or 0.9 % NaCl ( corresponding standards also need to be diluted with diH2O or 0.9 % NaCl ).( 2 ) According to 50 µL / hole, Griess Reagent I was added to each hole.( 3 ) According to 50 µL / hole, Griess Reagent II was added to each hole.( 4 ) The absorbance was measured at 540 nm. If there is no 540 nm filter, 520-560 nm filter can also be. If there is no microplate reader or a suitable filter, the concentration of nitric oxide in the sample can also be determined by visual colorimetry. A more precise concentration gradient is required for the standard when visual colorimetric...

It is also suitable for extracting DNA from samples containing high concentrations of PCR reaction inhibitors. This reagent kit adopts a unique buffering system to efficiently bind DNA from the lysis solution to the adsorption column. Inhibitors of PCR and enzyme reactions, as well as residual impurities, can be effectively removed through washing steps. Finally, high-purity DNA can be obtained by washing with low salt buffer or water. The purified DNA can be directly used for downstream experiments such as second-generation sequencing (16S amplicons and metagenomes), library construction, PCR, qPCR, Southern Blot, enzyme digestion molecular markers, etc.Self prepared reagents1. Constant temperature mixer - Product number: CW25932. Anhydrous ethanol, isopropanol3. Vortex oscillator or tissue grinderPreparation and important precautions before the experiment1. Samples should avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, otherwise it may result in smaller extracted DNA fragments and a decrease in extraction volume.2.Before the first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer GW1 (concentrate) and Buffer GW2 (concentrate) according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.3. Take out the buffer RIL before use and store it at 2-8 ℃ immediately after use.Operation steps1. Centrifuge the Lysis Tube briefly to allow the beads to settle at the bottom.2. a. Add 0.1-0.3 g of soil or fecal sample to Lysis Tube, and add 740-820 µ L Buffer QSL and 4 µ L RNase A, tighten the tube cover and briefly vortex to mix.b. If fecal samples are stored in non lytic fecal preservation solutions (such as CWY041S and CWY041M), add 200 to Lysis Tube µ L-600 µ L solid-liquid mixture, centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the storage solution (if the amount of solid after centrifugation is too small, it can be enriched again, but should not exceed 0.3g). Join 620 µ LBuffer QSL and 4 µ L RNase A, tighten the tube cover and briefly vortex to mix.3. Fix the Lysis Tube in an oscillating grinding device equipped with a 2 mL adapter and process it according to the optimized grinding conditions of your equipment (see appendix).4. Shake the Lysis Tube on a constant temperature mixer at 70 ℃ and 1200 rpm for 10 minutes. Subsequently, centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 2 minutes to precipitate solid particles. Transfer 540 µ Transfer the supernatant to a new 2 mL centrifuge tube.5. Add 180 µ L Buffer RIL, vortex for 5 seconds, centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 2 minutes.Attention: Remove the buffer RIL before use and store it at 2-8 ℃ immediately after use.6.
