| Description | Inquire | 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.Composition: Composition 20T 50T A. aladdin®640 TUNEL Reaction Buffer 1 mL 2 ×1.25 mL B.

It is easy to operate as it does not require the use of organic solvents such as phenol and chloroform for extraction. The kit uses a unique buffer system to enable efficient and specific binding of viral nucleic acids in lysate to silica gel centrifugal adsorption columns. Inhibitors of PCR and enzyme reactions as well as residual impurities can be efficiently removed in a two-step effective rinsing step, and finally high purity viral nucleic acids can be obtained by using a low-salt buffer or water for elution. The purified viral nucleic acid is free of protein, nuclease and other impurities, and can be used directly in PCR, RT-PCR, Real-Time PCR, blotting experiments and so on.Self-contained reagent: anhydrous ethanol.Pre-experiment 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. Do not add Proteinase K directly into Buffer GL.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. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of serum or plasma, which can lead to protein denaturation or precipitation, reducing the viral titer and thus affecting the yield of extracted viral nucleic acids.4. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer GW1 and Buffer GW2 according to the label instructions of the reagent bottle before first use.5. Check Buffer GL for crystallization or precipitation before use. If crystallization or precipitation occurs, redissolve Buffer GL in a water bath at 56℃.Procedure1. Take a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube (self-provided) and add 20 µl Proteinase K.2. Add 200 µl serum or plasma to the centrifuge tube. Add 200µl Buffer GL and vortex and shake for 15 seconds.Note: 1) Sample volume less than 200 µl can be made up by adding 0.9% NaCl (self-provided). 2) In order to ensure effective lysis of the sample, the sample needs to be mixed well with Buffer GL after adding Buffer GL.3. Incubate at 56°C for 15 minutes, centrifuge briefly, and collect the solution from the wall of the tube to the bottom of the tube.4. 250 µl of anhydrous ethanol was added, vortexed and shaken for 15 seconds, left at room temperature for 5 minutes, centrifuged briefly, and the solution on the wall of the tube was collected at the bottom of the tube.Note: If the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C, anhydrous ethanol should be used after pre-cooling on ice.5. Add the solution obtained in step 4 to the adsorbent column (RNase-Free Columns RS) that has been loaded into the collection tube, and if the solution cannot be added at one time, it can be transferred in several times. centrifuge the column at 12,000 rpm (~13,400 × g) for 1 min, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the column back into 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 put the adsorption column back into 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. Add 500 µl of anhydrous ethanol to the adsorbent column and 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.9. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 3 minutes and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube. Leave the adsorption column at room temperature for several minutes to dry thoroughly.Note: The purpose of this step is the removal of residual ethanol from the adsorbent column; ethanol residue can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions (digestion, PCR, etc.).10. Place the adsorption column in a new collection tube (RNase-Free Centrifuge Tube), add 20-150 µl of Buffer RE or sterilized water overhanging the middle of the adsorption column membrane, leave it at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, and then centrifuge it at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute to collect the nucleic acid solution.Note: 1) If the downstream experiment is sensitive to pH or EDTA, you can use sterilized water for elution. The pH of the eluent has a great influence on the elution efficiency, if water is used as the eluent 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) For long-term storage, please store the DNA solution at -20℃ and the RNA solution at -70℃.3) If the final concentration of DNA/RNA is to be increased, the DNA/RNA eluate obtained in step 10 can be re-spiked onto the adsorbent membrane and step 10 repeated...
