| Description | Inquire | The aladdin 488 Caspase-3 live cell assay kit contains the aladdin 488 Caspase-3 substrate and the Ac-DEVD-CHO Caspase-3 inhibitor. aladdin 488 Caspase-3 Substrate provides an effective tool for detecting apoptosis based on Caspase-3 activity, suitable for fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.The aladdin 488 Caspase-3 live cell assay kit contains the aladdin 488 Caspase-3 substrate and the Ac-DEVD-CHO Caspase-3 inhibitor. aladdin 488 Caspase-3 Substrate provides an effective tool for detecting apoptosis based on Caspase-3 activity, suitable for fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. 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.

Through a rapid and simple three-step process of binding, washing, and elution, 100 bp-10 kb DNA fragments can be purified and recovered from PCR products or enzyme reaction solutions (enzyme cutting, linking, probe labeling, etc.). Each adsorption column can adsorb up to 10 kb of DNA fragments µ G DNA, while minimizing impurities such as primers, oligonucleotides, enzymes, etc. The purified and recovered DNA has high purity and concentration, good integrity, and high recovery rate, and can be directly used for molecular biology experiments such as sequencing, linking and transformation, labeling, and in vitro transcription.Self prepared reagent: anhydrous ethanol.Preparation and important precautions before the experiment:1. All components can be stably stored in a dry, room temperature (15-30 ℃) environment for 1 year, and can be stored at 2-8 ℃ for longer periods of time. When the solution is stored at low temperature, it should be left at room temperature for a period of time before use, and then restored to room temperature before use.2. This reagent kit can selectively recover all DNA fragments from the solution. If you need to selectively recover specific fragments while removing other fragments of different sizes, please choose our company's gel recovery reagent kit.3.Before the first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to the Buffer PW according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.4. Before use, please check if there is any crystallization or precipitation in the Buffer PB. If there is any crystallization or precipitation, you can take a water bath at 37 ℃ for a few minutes to restore clarity.5. The recovery efficiency is related to the initial amount of DNA and the elution volume. The smaller the initial amount, the smaller the elution volume, and the lower the recovery rate.6. All centrifugation steps can be performed at room temperature.Operation steps:1. Estimate the volume of DNA reaction solution, add 5 times the volume of Buffer PB, and mix thoroughly (without removing paraffin or mineral oil).Note: 1) If the DNA reaction system is 50 µ l (excluding paraffin oil volume), add 250 µ l Buffer PB.2) After adding Buffer PB, check the pH value of the solution. If the pH value is greater than 7.5, add 10-30 to it µ 3 M sodium acetate (pH 5.0) was used to adjust the pH value to 5-7.2. Column balance: Add 200 to the spin columns DM that have been loaded into the collection tube µ Centrifuge at 13000 rpm (~16200 × g) for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.3. Add the solution obtained in step 1 to the adsorption column that has been loaded into the collection tube, let it stand at room temperature for 1 minute, centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 30-60 seconds, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column in the collection tube.Attention: The volume of the adsorption column is 750 µ l. If the sample volume is greater than 750 µ l, it can be added in batches.4. Add 500 µ l of Buffer PW to the adsorption column (please check if anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 30-60 seconds, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column in the recovery tube.Note: If purified DNA is used for salt sensitivity experiments (such as flat end ligation experiments or direct sequencing), it is recommended to add Buffer PW and let it stand for 2-5 minutes before centrifugation.5.13000 rpm for 1 minute and discard the waste liquid from the collection tube. Place the adsorption column at room temperature for a few minutes to thoroughly air dry.Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column, which can affect subsequent enzymatic reactions (such as enzyme digestion, PCR, etc.). To ensure that downstream experiments are not affected by residual ethanol, it is recommended to open the cover of the adsorption column and place it at room temperature for a few minutes to thoroughly dry the residual ethanol in the adsorbent material at the bottom.6. Place the adsorption column into a new centrifuge tube (provided by oneself), add 30-50 µ l Buffer EB to the middle position of the adsorption membrane by hanging droplets, and let it stand at room temperature for 1 minute. Centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 1 minute and collect DNA solution- Store DNA at 20 ℃.Attention:1) The pH value of the eluent has a significant impact on the elution efficiency. If water is used as the eluent, its pH value should be ensured to be between 7.0-8.5 (the pH value of water can be adjusted to this range using NaOH).2) To improve the recovery of DNA, the solution obtained by centrifugation can be added back to the adsorption column, left at room temperature for 2 minutes, and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 1 minute.3) The elution volume should not be less than 30 µ l. A small volume will affect the recovery efficiency... Read More | Products contentN665730Component24 T96 TStorageN665730ATPS V50 144 µL576 µL-20℃.

We also have transposase library construction kits for human genomic DNA starting at 5 ng and 1 ng, so it is recommended to use different kits for different starting amounts of DNA in order to obtain higher quality libraries. Products IntroductionThis kit is developed for Illumina's high-throughput sequencing platform and provides the enzyme premix system and reaction buffer for genomic DNA library construction, including all components except PCR primers. Compared with the traditional library construction kits, this kit adopts the new transposase method for library construction, which can complete DNA fragmentation, end repair and junction reaction in one simple enzymatic reaction, significantly reducing the amount of template, reducing the number of experimental steps, and shortening the time of library construction; it adopts the high-fidelity DNA polymerase for library enrichment, and the preference-free PCR amplification can expand the coverage area of the sequence, which can be used for efficient and effective sequencing. The use of high-fidelity DNA polymerase for library enrichment and preference-free PCR amplification broadens the coverage area of the sequence and enables efficient preparation of DNA libraries for Illumina's second-generation sequencing platform. The kit is suitable for DNA libraries with a starting template of 50 ng, and all reagents in the kit have been subjected to strict quality control and functional validation to maximize the stability and reproducibility of library construction.
