In the oxidized stateProduct IntroductionAlamar Blue detection reagent provides a simple, rapid, reliable and safe method for cell proliferation and cytotoxicity detection, which is suitable for high-throughput detection experiments. The main component of the detection reagent is a redox indicator. In the oxidized state, it appears purple-blue and non-fluorescent, while in the reduced state, it turns into a reduction product with pink or red fluorescence, with an absorption peak of 530-560nm and an emission peak of 590nm.In the process of cell proliferation, the ratios of NADPH/NADP, FADH/FAD, FMNH/FMN and NADH/NAD in the cell increase and are in a reducing environment. The dye taken into the cell is reduced by these metabolic intermediates and cytochromes and then released outside the cell and dissolved in the culture medium, changing the culture medium from non-fluorescent indigo blue to fluorescent pink. Finally, use an ordinary spectrophotometer or fluorophotometer for detection, and the absorbance and fluorescence intensity are proportional to the number of active cells.Instructions1. Add 10µl of detection reagent to 100µl of cell suspension, and incubate in a cell incubator for 2-6 hours. The color of the medium changes from indigo blue to pink and you can proceed to the next step.2. It is recommended to use a fluorescence microplate reader for detection, the excitation light wavelength is between 530-560 nm, the emission light wavelength is 590 nm, and the relative fluorescence unit (RFU) is recorded.3. Draw a standard curve or cell growth curve: the ordinate (Y axis) is the relative fluorescence unit (RFU); the abscissa (X axis) is the cell number or time point or drug concentration.Precautions1. The appropriate density of cells can increase the detection sensitivity. For 96-well plates, we recommend seeding 100 microliters of cells per well. The cell concentration range is: 100-10,000/well for adherent cells, 2,000-50,000/well for suspension cells, and medium as a blank control. For 384-well plates, the cell concentration and seeding volume are both halved.2. The whole process should be aseptic operation, because microbial contaminants can also reduce the detection reagents and affect the experimental results.3. Pay attention to the concentration of inoculated cells and the incubation time after adding detection reagents. If the cell concentration is too high or the incubation time is too long, it will cause a secondary reduction reaction, resulting in colorlessness and disappearance of fluorescence.4. When incubating, avoid light.5. This product can use fluorescence or spectrophotometric detection, but the sensitivity of fluorescence is high, and the experimental error is small. Fluorescence detection is recommended... Read More | Store at -20°C. Please refer to protocols | The miRNA extraction kit is specifically designed to isolate and purify miRNAs from various animal tissues, plant tissues, cells, serum, plasma and other samples. It can also extract small molecule RNAs such as siRNA and snRNA that are less than 200 nt, and can also be used for the extraction of The miRNA extraction kit is specifically designed to isolate and purify miRNAs from various animal tissues, plant tissues, cells, serum, plasma and other samples. It can also extract small molecule RNAs such as siRNA and snRNA that are less than 200 nt, and can also be used for the extraction of total RNA. This product combines phenol/guanidine lysis technology and silicon matrix membrane purification technology. The unique lysis solution can effectively inhibit RNases while removing most of DNA and proteins from cell or tissue samples through organic extraction. For some sensitive downstream experiments, if miRNA enrichment is required, this kit can be used to enrich miRNA separately. This product is suitable for a wide range of samples, with high purity of prepared RNA, and can be directly used for sensitive downstream applications, such as Northern Blot analysis, Real Time PCR, Microarray Analysis, etc. M665531Component50 TStorageM665531ATRIzon Reagent60 mL2-8℃.

The extracted samples should avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, otherwise it will affect the quantity and quality of miRNA extraction.Before the first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer RWT and Buffer RW2 according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.4. All centrifugation steps should be carried out at room temperature unless otherwise specified, and all operation steps should be carried out quickly.Operation steps:Protocol A: miRNA enrichment (can be directly used for sensitive downstream experiments)1. Sample processing1a Organization: Grind the organization in liquid nitrogen. Add 1 ml of TRIzon Reagent to every 30-50 mg of tissue, shake and mix well. The sample volume shall not exceed one tenth of the volume of TRIzon Reagent.1b Single layer culture of cells: Remove the culture medium, add TRIzon Reagent, and add 1 ml of TRIzon Reagent every 10 cm2 (the amount of lysis solution depends on the area of the culture bottle).1c Cell suspension: Centrifuge to obtain cell precipitate, discard supernatant. Add 1 ml of TRIzon Reagent to every 5 x 106-1 x 107 cells (cells do not require washing).1d Plasma or serum: Take 200 µ Add 5 times the volume of TRIzon Reagent to plasma or serum samples, shake and mix well for 30 seconds.2. After adding TRIzon Reagent to the sample, blow it repeatedly several times to fully crack it. Leave at room temperature for 5 minutes to completely separate the protein nucleic acid complex.3. Optional steps: Centrifuge at 4 ℃ 12000 rpm (~13400 × g) for 5 minutes, take the supernatant, and transfer it to a new centrifuge tube (provided by oneself) (if the sample contains more proteins, fats, polysaccharides, etc., this step can be performed).4. Add chloroform to the supernatant and add 200 to every 1 ml of TRIzon Reagent used µ Chloroform, cover the tube, vigorously shake for 15 seconds, and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.Centrifuge at 5.4 ℃ and 12000 rpm for 15 minutes. The sample is divided into three layers: red organic phase, middle layer, and colorless aqueous phase. Transfer the upper colorless aqueous phase to a new centrifuge tube (self prepared).6. Add 1/3 volume of anhydrous ethanol to the solution obtained in step 5, mix well, and transfer the obtained solution and precipitate together into the adsorption column RM (Spin Columns RM) that has been loaded into the collection tube. If you cannot add all the solution to the adsorption column at once, please transfer it multiple times. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 30 seconds, discard the adsorption column RM after centrifugation, and retain the effluent.7. Add 2/3 times the volume of anhydrous ethanol to the solution obtained in step 6 and mix well.8. Transfer the solution and precipitate obtained from the previous step into the adsorption column RS (Spin Columns RS) that has been loaded into the collection tube. If you cannot add all the solution to the adsorption column at once, please transfer it multiple times.
