Product IntroductionThe Quick Ligation Reaction Kit allows ligation of DNA sticky or flush ends in 5 minutes at room temperature (25°C). The kit contains Quick T4 DNA Ligase and 2×Quick Ligation Reaction Buffer optimized for fast and efficient DNA ligation.The ligation efficiency of Quick Ligation is equivalent to 1 hour of conventional ligation with T4 DNA Ligase. The Quick Ligation products can be used directly in routine bacterial transformation experiments.matters needing attention1. This kit enables most of the linkage reactions to reach the reaction endpoint within 5 minutes or less at 25°C. Increasing the reaction time will not enhance the reaction efficiency. If you use the rapid connection reaction after 1 hour, the conversion efficiency will be significantly reduced; if the rapid connection reaction at 25 ℃ overnight, the conversion efficiency will drop to 75%.2. 2×Quick Ligation Reaction Buffer contains ATP, which should be thawed on ice and mixed thoroughly before use. It is recommended to freeze the buffer in small tubes for the first time, so as to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, which will affect the efficiency of DNA ligation.3. Since T4 DNA Ligase contains glycerol, which is sticky and easy to hang on the wall, it is recommended to collect the liquid to the bottom of the tube by centrifugation for a short period of time before use, and the tip of the lance should not go too deep into the liquid surface when taking samples to avoid sticking to the tip of the lance and causing losses.4. If the quick ligation product is used for electrotransformation, the PEG in the quick ligation reaction system will affect the efficiency of electrotransformation, and it is recommended to use a centrifugal column to purify the ligation product from DNA before electrotransformation.Usage1. The reaction solution was prepared according to the following system:*The amount of Insert DNA used: the molar ratio of Vector DNA and Insert DNA is generally 1:3-1:8, and the appropriate molar ratio of Vector DNA and Insert DNA can be selected according to the experimental situation.Calculation of DNA molar number: DNA molar number (nmol)=DNA mass (ng)/( 660daltons x number of inserted DNA bases bp).2. mix gently and centrifuge briefly. react at 25°C for 5 minutes.Note: The reaction time should not exceed 15 minutes, otherwise the connection efficiency will be reduced.3. Do not perform heat inactivation reactions. Centrifuge instantly and collect the solution from the wall to the bottom of the tube.Note: Heat inactivation significantly reduces transformation efficiency due to the presence of PEG in the buffer.4. After the reaction, store the DNA ligation product at 0-4℃, and then carry out transformation experiments; you can also store the DNA ligation product at -20℃.Note: When transforming by chemical method, do not add more than 10% of the volume of the receptor cell for the ligation product.5. Heat shock the ligation product to transform 50 µl of receptor cells or take 1-2 µl of ligation product to electroshock transform 50 µl of receptor cells.Note: 1) When transforming by chemical method, do not add more than 10% of the volume of the receptor cell for the ligation product.(2) If the quick ligation product is used for electrotransformation, it is recommended to use a centrifugal column to purify the ligation product from DNA before electrotransformation because the PEG in the quick ligation reaction system will affect the efficiency of electrotransformation...

Suitable for extracting total RNA with improved purity from paraffin embedded tissues or sections less than 30mg. This kit does not require the use of phenol/chloroform extraction or isopropanol precipitation, and can complete the extraction of multiple samples within one hour. This product uses specially optimized lysis solution and protease K to release RNA from formalin fixed or tissue slice samples without overnight operation; After digestion, the sample is incubated at a higher temperature to remove the inhibitory effect caused by formalin cross-linking, effectively releasing RNA from tissue slices and avoiding endangering RNA integrity; The optimized buffer system allows RNA in the lysis solution to specifically bind to the silica gel adsorption membrane, while other pollutants can flow through the membrane; It can be effectively removed through rinsing steps, and the washed RNA can be directly used for experiments such as RT-PCR, Real Time PCR, and Western blot analysis.Self prepared reagents: anhydrous ethanol (newly opened or dedicated for RNA extraction), 10mM PBS (pH 7.4).Preparation and important precautions before the experiment1. Add 0.625ml Protein K Storage Buffer to Protein K to dissolve it and store at -20 ℃. The prepared Protein K should not be left at room temperature for a long time to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which may affect its activity.2. To prevent RNase pollution, attention should be paid to the following aspects:1) Use RNase free plastic products and gun heads to avoid cross contamination.2) Glassware should be dry baked at a high temperature of 180 ℃ for 4 hours before use, while plastic containers can be soaked in 0.5M NaOH for 10 minutes, thoroughly rinsed with water, and then sterilized under high pressure.3) Prepare the solution using water without RNase.4) Operators should wear disposable masks and gloves, and change gloves frequently during the experiment.3. After obtaining the sample, it should be fixed in 4% -10% formalin as soon as possible, with a suitable fixation time of 14-24 hours. Excessive time can lead to RNA breakage and affect downstream experiments.4. Ensure that the sample before embedding is thoroughly dehydrated, as residual formalin will inhibit the action of Protein K.5. Before the first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer RW2 according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.Before use, please check if there is any crystallization or precipitation in Buffer GTL, Buffer GL, and Buffer DS. If there is any crystallization or precipitation, please dissolve Buffer GTL, Buffer GL, and Buffer DS again in a 56 ℃ water bath.Operation steps1. Sample processing1a. Paraffin embedded sample: Use a surgical knife to trim off excess paraffin from the tissue block, expose the tissue, and cut into 5-10 µ m thin slices.Attention: If the surface of the sample has already been exposed to air, please discard 2-3 pieces that come into contact with the air and do not use them.1b. Samples in fixed solutions such as formalin: Take approximately 20mg of the sample, cut it into small pieces, place it in a centrifuge tube, and add 500 µ 10mM PBS (PH7.4), vortex oscillation, centrifugation at 12000 rpm (~13400 × g) for 1 minute, discard the supernatant, repeat 3 times, and proceed directly to step 3.2. Choose option A or option B to remove paraffinOption AA1. Take approximately 1 × 1cm2 of slices (4-5 slices in total) and place them in a centrifuge tube (prepared by oneself), then add 500 slices µ L Buffer DS, vortex oscillation for 10 seconds. Incubate at 56 ° C for 3 minutes.Centrifuge at A2.12000 rpm for 2 minutes, be careful to discard the supernatant and avoid attracting sediment.Option BB1. Take approximately 4-5 slices of approximately 1 × 1 cm2 and place them in a centrifuge tube (self prepared). Add 1ml of xylene, cover the tube tightly, and vortex for 10 seconds.B2.Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 minutes, be careful to remove the supernatant and avoid removing sediment.B3. Add 1ml of anhydrous ethanol, vortex and shake well. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 minutes, discard the supernatant, and be careful not to absorb or discard the sediment.B4. Open the tube cover and incubate at room temperature or up to 37 ° C for 10 minutes until there is no ethanol residue.3. Add 150µ L Buffer GTL, resuspended precipitation; Join 10µl Protein K, vortex oscillation mixing.4.Incubate at 56 ℃ for 15 minutes until the sample is completely dissolved. Incubate at 80 ℃ for 15 minutes. Short centrifugation allows the solution on the tube wall to be collected to the bottom of the tube.Note: 1) The purpose of this step is to repair nucleic acids denatured by formaldehyde. Incubating at a high temperature or for too long may cause RNA breakage, resulting in RNA fragments.2) The sample incubated at 56 ℃ can be placed at room temperature until the temperature of the water or dry bath reaches 80 ℃, and then the sample can be incubated at 80 ℃.5. Place on ice for 3 minutes, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 15 minutes, transfer the supernatant to a new centrifuge tube, be careful not to suck sediment.6. Add 320 to the supernatant µ L Buffer GL, vortex oscillation thoroughly mixed.7. Join 720 µ Mix anhydrous ethanol thoroughly with vortex oscillation.Attention: After adding anhydrous ethanol, there may be a small amount of precipitate precipitation, but it does not affect subsequent operations.8. Add all the solutions obtained in step 7 to the spin columns RS that have been loaded into the collection tube. If the solution cannot be added at once, it can be transferred multiple times. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Optional steps: If genomic DNA needs to be removed, the following steps can be followeda. Add 350 to the adsorption column µ L Buffer RW1, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid, and place the adsorption column back into the recovery manifold.b. Preparation of DNase I mixture: Take 52 µ Add 8 RNase Free Water to it µ 10 x Reaction Buffer and 20 µ DNase I (1U/ µ l) Mix well and prepare to a final volume of 80 µ The reaction solution of L.c. Add 80 µ l of DNase I mixture directly to the adsorption column and incubate at 20-30 ℃ for 15 minutes.d. Add 350 to the adsorption column µ L Buffer RW1, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid, and place the adsorption column back into the recovery manifold.9. Add 500 to the adsorption column µ Buffer RW2 (check if anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.10. Repeat step 9.Centrifuge at 11.12000 rpm for 2 minutes 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 will affect subsequent enzymatic reactions (such as enzyme digestion, PCR, etc.).12. Place the adsorption column in a new RNase free centrifuge tube, and add 20-50µl to the middle of the adsorption column in the air Place RNase Free Water at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, collect RNA solution, and store RNA at -20 ℃.Note: 1) The volume of RNase Free Water should not be less than 20 µ l. Small volume affects the recovery rate. 2) If you want to increase RNA production, you can use 20-50 µ Repeat step 12 for the new RNase Free Water.3) If you want to increase the RNA concentration, you can add the obtained solution back to the adsorption column and repeat step 12... Read More | Cell viability and cytotoxicity assays are usually used for drug screening and compound cytotoxicity testing. The CCK-8 kit uses highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt ( called WST-8 ) to produce water-soluble WST-8 for cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays. Unlike MTT, WST-8 and WST-8 have no Cell viability and cytotoxicity assays are usually used for drug screening and compound cytotoxicity testing. The CCK-8 kit uses highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt ( called WST-8 ) to produce water-soluble WST-8 for cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays. Unlike MTT, WST-8 and WST-8 have no cytotoxicity in cell culture medium, so multiple downstream experiments can be performed using the same detection plate. CCK-8 method is a convenient colorimetric method for the determination of cell viability. It does not need the solubilization process and only needs the least steps to provide the results. The CCK-8 method can be used for the determination of 96-well microplates and high-throughput screening of 384-well microplates. Advantage：At present, the commercially available liquid CCK-8 kits generally have defects such as harsh storage conditions ( -4C or -20 ), unstable use in different pH ranges, and easy deterioration ( discoloration or precipitation ). The solid instant CCK-8 kit adopts a new formula and Swiss process, which overcomes these shortcomings of the liquid CCK-8 kit. It can be stored at room temperature for a long time ( > 3 years ), ready to use, stable in a wide pH range, and the experimental results are more reliable. Compared with the liquid CCK-8 kit, the solid-soluble CCK-8 kit has higher sensitivity and the biological response time is shortened by half.Application scope:It can be used for drug screening, cell proliferation assay, cytotoxicity assay, tumor drug sensitivity test and activity detection of biological factors. Operating instructions:This reagent kit can be used for drug screening, cell proliferation assay, cytotoxicity assay, tumor drug sensitivity assay, and activity detection of biological factors.1. Carefully and slowly tear along the gap in the packaging bag;2. Pour all the powder in the bag into a clean container containing 10mL of ultrapure water, shake continuously for 1 minute, and use it when the solid is completely dissolved;3. Unused reagents must be stored at low temperatures below 4 ℃.Equipment required for testing:Enzyme reader 96 well plate with 450-490 nm filter;Carbon dioxide incubator;96 well plate, sterilized transparent plate for cell detection;Multi channel pipette (8 or 12 channels: 10-100 µ l);Blood cell counter or cell counter.Cell viability testing:1. Inoculate cell suspension (100 µ l/well) into a 96 well plate and pre culture the plate in a carbon dioxide incubator for 24 hours (37 ℃, 5% CO2);2. Add 10 µ l of CCK-8 solution to each well (be careful not to generate bubbles in the well as it may affect the reading of OD value);3. Incubate the culture plate in the incubator for 1-4 hours;4. Measure the absorbance at 450 nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader;5. If the OD value is not determined temporarily, 10 µ l of 0.1M HCI solution or 1% w/v SDS solution can be added to each well, and the culture plate can be covered and stored in the dark at room temperature. Within 24 hours of measurement, the absorbance will not change.Cell proliferation toxicity testing:1. Inoculate cell suspension (100 µ l/well) into a 96 well plate and pre culture the plate in an incubator for 24 hours (37 ℃, 5% CO2);2. Add 10ul of different concentrations of the substance to be tested to the culture plate;3. Incubate the culture plate in the incubator for an appropriate period of time (e.g. 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours);4. Add 10 µ l of CCK-8 solution to each well (be careful not to generate bubbles in the well as they may affect the reading of the OD value);5. Incubate the culture plate in the incubator for 1-4 hours;6. Measure the absorbance at 450nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader;7. If the OD value is not determined temporarily, 10 µ l of 0.1M HCI solution or 1% w/v SDS solution can be added to each well, and the culture plate can be covered and stored in the dark at room temperature. Within 24 hours of measurement, the absorbance will not change.Calculation method for cell survival rate/inhibition rate:Cell survival rate=[As Ab)/(Ac Ab)] x 100%Inhibition rate=[(Ac As)/(Ac Ab)] x 100%As: absorbance of experimental wells (including cells, culture medium, CCK-8 solution, and drug solution);Ac: absorbance of control wells (including cells, culture medium, CCK-8 solution, without drugs);Ab: Blank well absorbance (including culture medium and CCK-8 solution, excluding cells and drugs).Points for attention： 1.Unused reagents must be stored at low temperature below 4 °C, and stored in the dark at-20 °C for two years after unpacking, so as to avoid repeated thawing ; 2.The culture time of CCK-8 is generally 1-4 hours, but the naked eye can be taken out to observe the color degree in about 30 minutes. According to the cell type, the conditions need to be explored. The best reaction time of CCK-8 is based on the best time of specific color development.3. It is recommended to do a few holes to explore the number of inoculated cells and the culture time after adding CCK-8 reagent ; 3.The WST-8 in this kit will react with reducing agents ( such as some antioxidants ) to interfere with the detection. Before the cell proliferation-toxicity test, the background OD can be checked to confirm whether there is a reducing agent in the substance to be tested. If the effect of reducing agent needs to be removed, the fresh medium can be replaced before adding CCK-8 ( remove the medium, wash the cells twice with the medium, and then add the new medium ) ; 4.Phenol red in the medium does not affect the experimental results, and the absorbance of phenol red can be eliminated by deducting the absorbance of the background in the blank hole during calculation, so it will not affect the detection. 5.It is recommended to use a multi-channel pipette to reduce the difference between parallel holes. When adding CCK-8 reagent, it is recommended to add it obliquely to the wall of the culture plate, not to insert it under the liquid surface of the medium, which is easy to produce bubbles and interfere with OD determination. 6.If the drug contains metal, it has an effect on the color of CCK-8. The final concentration of 1mM lead chloride, ferric chloride and copper sulfate will inhibit the color reaction of 5 %, 15 % and 90 %, and reduce the sensitivity. If the final concentration is 10mM, the color reaction will be 100 % inhibited ; 7.When using a 96-well plate for detection, if the cell culture time is long, attention should be paid to the evaporation problem. On the one hand, because a circle around the 96-well plate is the easiest to evaporate, the method of discarding the surrounding circle can be adopted, and the same amount of PBS, water or culture medium can be added. On the other hand, the 96-well plate can be placed near the water source in the incubator to alleviate evaporation ; 8.When using standard 96-well plates, the minimum inoculation amount of adherent cells is at least 1,000 cells / well ( 100µl medium ). The sensitivity of detecting white blood cells is relatively low, so it is recommended that the inoculation amount should not be less than 2,500 cells / well ( 100 µl medium ). If you want to use a 24-well plate or a 6-well plate experiment, first calculate the corresponding inoculation amount per well, and add the CCK-8 solution according to 10 % of the total volume of the medium per well ; 9.Cell culture time varies according to the type and number of cells ( per well ), usually the color of white blood cells is weak, requiring a longer culture time ( 4 hours ) and a large number of cells ( ~ 105 cells / well ) ; 10.CCK-8 reagent is very low toxic to cells. The continuous reaction between it and dehydrogenase in living cells makes the color of the solution deepen and the OD value increase. The following methods can terminate the CCK-8 reaction ( 96-well plate ) : a ) After the color reaction, the culture plate was placed in a refrigerator at 4 ° C ; b ) 10µL 0.1MHCL solution was added to each well ; c ) 10 µL 1 % ( w / v ) SDS ( sodium dodecyl sulfate ) solution was added to each well. After the reaction stopped, the OD value should be measured within 24 hours. 11.To determine the specific number of cells, it is recommended to do the standard curve at the same time... Read More |
