Compared with other fluorescent substrates or fluorescent inhibitors of Caspase based on ( FLICA ) analysis, aladdin 488 Caspase-3 Substrate does not inhibit the apoptosis process of intact cells while detecting Caspase-3 activity. Substrate is composed of fluorescent DNA dyes coupled with Caspase-3 DEVD recognition sequence. Substrate initially had no fluorescence and entered the cytoplasm through the cell membrane. In apoptotic cells, Caspase-3 cleaves the Substrate and releases high-affinity DNA staining, which migrates to the nucleus to label DNA and emits bright green fluorescence.Therefore, aladdin 488 Caspase-3 Substrate is bifunctional, which can not only detect Caspase-3 activity, but also visualize the morphological changes of the nucleus during apoptosis. Aladdin 488 staining can be fixed in formaldehyde and compatible with subsequent immunostaining experiments.Parameters:aladdin 488：Ex/Em = 500/530 nm (with DNA)Component：Points for attention：1.Please instantaneously centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube before use, and then carry out subsequent experiments. 2.Cells can be co-stained with a final concentration of 1µM Hoechst 33342 dye to produce blue fluorescence staining of the nucleus ( Ex / Em = 346 / 460 nm ). 3.Aladdin 488 staining can be fixed by formaldehyde, but it is not compatible with methanol fixation. 4.Formaldehyde-fixed aladdin 488-stained cells can be treated with 0.1 % TritonX-100 for subsequent staining, but the brightness of the treated staining may be weakened. 5.Fluorescent dyes all have quenching problems, please try to avoid light to slow down the fluorescence quenching. 6.For your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and wear disposable gloves.Scope of application：Caspase 3 kit and apoptosis detectionUsage:1. Experimental optimization: The experimental steps provided below are based on the endpoint detection system. Aladdin 488 Substrate can also be used for long-term cell incubation course research. Cell density, substrate concentration, and inhibitor concentration may need to be optimized. The optimal substrate concentration may be between 1-10 µ Between M. Cells can be incubated with substrates in culture medium, PBS, or other buffer of your choice. For adherent cells, we recommend replacing them with fresh culture media containing substrates to prevent background heterogeneity. The operation of changing the medium or washing the cells after substrate incubation is freely selectable.2. We suggest that you set the following controls:A. Negative control: cells that do not induce apoptosis;B. Positive control: cells that induce apoptosis;C. Inhibitor control: Induce cell apoptosis while incubating Caspase-3/7 inhibitors (or 10-30 minutes in advance), and finally add Aladdin 488 Caspase-3 substrate.3. The Caspase-3/7 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO in the Ac-DEVD-CHO Caspase-3 inhibitor control kit can be used to confirm that Caspase-3/7 depends on the fluorescence signal of aladdin 488. For inhibitor control, the final concentration of the inhibitor should be at least twice the substrate concentration (e.g. when using 5 µ At substrate M aladdin 488, the concentration of Ac-DEVD-CHO is 10 µ M). Before adding the substrate, incubate Ac-DEVD-CHO at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. After adding the substrate, continue to retain the inhibitor in the incubation solution. Ac-DEVD-CHO is a reversible competitive inhibitor. In certain cell types, effective Caspase-3/7 inhibitors require the use of irreversible inhibitors, such as Z-DEVD-FMK, or the addition of inhibitors before or during apoptosis induction.4. Flow cytometry(1) Choose appropriate methods to induce cell apoptosis, with untreated cell samples as controls.(2) Adhering cells should be digested with trypsin or other methods before performing the aladdin 488 Caspase-3 experiment.(3) Resuspend cells with culture medium or buffer to achieve a cell density of 106 cells/mL(4) Suck 0.2 mL of cell suspension into a flow cytometry test tube.(5) Inhibitor control samples were treated with Ac-DEVD-CHO on cells (see 3 above) Ac-DEVD-CHO Caspase-3 inhibitor control.(6) 200 µ Add 5 to L cell suspension µ Substrate of 0.2 mM and immediately mix to achieve a substrate concentration of 5 µ M.

Based on the lysis of cells by alkaline lysis method, it adopts a unique silica matrix membrane adsorption technology and reagent formulation, and efficiently and exclusively binds plasmid DNA in solution by centrifugal adsorption columns in a high-salt state, and each adsorption column can adsorb a maximum of 30 µg of plasmid DNA, and removes proteins, genomes, RNAs, and other impurities to the greatest extent possible. The plasmid DNA obtained can be directly used for cell transfection, PCR, digestion, sequencing, ligation and other biological experiments.Self-contained reagent: 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 into Buffer P1, mix well, and store it at 2-8°C. Before use, leave it at room temperature for a period of time, and then use it after recovering to room temperature.3. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer PW according to the instructions on the label of the reagent bottle before first use.4. If precipitation is found in Buffer P2, Buffer N3, or Buffer PB before use, the clarification can be restored by water bath at 37℃ for a few minutes (please do not shake Buffer P2 violently).5. Be careful not to touch Buffer P2, Buffer N3 and Buffer PB directly, and tighten the lid immediately after use.6. The amount and purity of extracted plasmid is related to the concentration of bacterial culture, strain type, plasmid size, plasmid copy number and other factors.Procedure1. Take 1-5 ml of the overnight culture and add it to a centrifuge tube (self-prepared), centrifuge for 30 seconds at 13,000 rpm (~16,200×g) to collect the bacterial precipitate, and discard the supernatant as much as possible.2. Add 250 µl of Buffer P1 to the centrifuge tube with the bacterial precipitate (please check that RNase A has been added first), mix well using a pipette or vortex shaker, and suspend the bacterial precipitate.Note: If the bacterial mass is not thoroughly mixed, it will affect the lysis effect, resulting in low extraction and purity.3. Add 250µl of Buffer P2 to the centrifuge tube and mix gently up and down 4-6 times, mixing well to lyse the organisms, at which point the solution should become clear and viscous.Note: Mix gently, do not shake vigorously to avoid interrupting the genomic DNA and causing the extracted plasmid to be mixed with genomic DNA fragments. This step should take no more than 5 minutes to avoid damage to the plasmid.4. Add 350 µl of Buffer N3 to the centrifuge tube and immediately mix gently up and down for 8-10 times, mixing well so that a white flocculent precipitate should appear. centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 5 minutes.Note: Buffer N3 should be mixed immediately after addition to avoid localized precipitation.5. Transfer the supernatant obtained in step 4 to the Spin Columns DM that have been loaded into the collection tube, centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 30 seconds, pour off the waste liquid from the collection tube, and place the column back into the collection tube.6. Add 150 µl Buffer PB to the adsorption column and centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 30 seconds.7. Add 400 µl Buffer PW to the adsorption column (please check that anhydrous ethanol has been added first), centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 1 minute, and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube.8. Place the adsorbent column in a new centrifuge tube (supplied), add 50-100 µl Buffer EB to the middle of the adsorbent membrane, leave it at room temperature for 2 minutes, centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 1 minute, and collect the plasmid solution into the centrifuge tube. -The plasmid solution was collected into the centrifuge tube.Note: 1) To increase the recovery efficiency of the plasmid, the resulting solution can be reintroduced into the adsorbent column, left at room temperature for 2 minutes, centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 1 minute, and the plasmid solution collected into a centrifuge tube.2) For low plasmid copy number or >10 kb, Buffer EB is preheated at 65-70°C in a water bath to increase extraction efficiency...
