Avoid freeze/thaw cycle.ProductsThe Nc-Nucleus/Plasma Protein Extraction Kit is a simple and rapid method for extracting nucleus and plasma proteins from mammalian cells and tissues, and the extracted proteins remain biologically active. The kit first cleaves the cell membrane and releases plasma proteins using the plasma protein extraction reagent, and then centrifuges the nucleus to obtain a nucleus precipitate. Finally, the nuclear proteins are extracted by the nuclear protein extraction reagent. The extracted nuclear and plasma proteins are of high purity, effectively avoiding cross-contamination of nuclear and plasma proteins, and can be used for subsequent operations such as Western, Gel Shift, reporter gene detection and enzyme activity determination.Caveat1. If phosphorylated proteins are to be extracted, add a phosphatase inhibitor to the extraction reagent.2. All sample handling should be done on ice.3. The amount of reagents can be adjusted according to the specific experimental situation to ensure that the ratio of each reagent used is Nc-Buffer A:Nc-Buffer B:Nc-Buffer C = 100:5.5:50.4.

Self-contained reagents and consumablesSterile pipette tips with aerosol barrier to prevent cross-contamination anhydrous ethanol Microcentrifuge tubes (2 ml/1.5 ml) PBS buffer (required for some samples only)Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. Add 1.25 ml Proteinase K Storage Buffer to Proteinase K and store at -20℃. Do not leave the prepared Proteinase K (20 mg/ml) at room temperature for a long time, and avoid repeated freezing and thawing to avoid affecting its activity.2. Dissolve Lysozyme (100 mg) in 10 ml Enzymatic Lysis Buffer to a final concentration of 10 mg/ml, dispense into sterile tubes and store at -20℃. Do not leave the prepared Lysozyme (10 mg/ml) at room temperature for a long time and avoid repeated freezing and thawing to avoid affecting its activity.3. Thaw Buffer GB1 and Buffer GB2 at room temperature or 2-8°C before use and mix thoroughly. Thawed Buffer GB1 and Buffer GB2 can be left at 2-8°C for 1-2 weeks without affecting their activity, and should be stored at -20°C for long term storage. To ensure optimal performance, do not freeze or thaw more than three times. If less than one bottle of Buffer GB1 and Buffer GB2 is required for a single extraction, ensure that it is used under sterile conditions such as an ultra-clean bench and avoid microbial contamination and growth in the remaining buffer.4. Before first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer GW1 and Buffer GW2 according to the instructions on the vial label and labeled.5. Check Buffer GL for crystallization or precipitation before use, and if crystallization or precipitation occurs, redissolve Buffer GL in a 56°C water bath.6. If the downstream experiments are sensitive to RNA contamination, 4 µl of DNase-Free RNase A (100 mg/ml) can be added before adding Buffer GL. RNase A is not provided in the kit, but can be ordered separately from CW0601S.7. This kit is designed for the isolation of DNA from intact microbial cells. To ensure optimal recovery of microbial DNA, samples should be fresh. If storage or transportation is required, this should preferably be done at 2-8°C and not frozen or thawed, as freezing and thawing can damage the integrity of the microbial cells and therefore result in the loss of exposed microbial DNA during host DNA removal.8. To avoid false results due to contamination, keep the work area clean, wear protective clothing, and set up controls for quality control. Use appropriate measures to handle sample materials to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. During the extraction process, use DNA-free pipette tips and consumables, and cap reagents immediately after use to prevent contamination. procedure1. Sample pre-treatment: 1a: For swab samples, swirl the swab portion of the swab in 0.5 ml PBS for at least 20 s. Squeeze the swab several times against the wall of the tube before removing it so that as much of the bacterial fluid as possible can be squeezed out of the swab to minimize sample loss. 1b: For viscous samples, e.g. sputum, take ~500 µl of sample, add 1.5 times the volume (~750 µl) of Buffer GB1 and incubate at 37°C, 600 rpm for 15-30 min until the sample is completely liquefied.Note: The sample volume can be increased or decreased appropriately and the amount of Buffer GB1 added adjusted accordingly.1c: For alveolar lavage fluid containing a small amount of viscous sputum, centrifuge as much of the alveolar lavage fluid as possible, carefully remove the supernatant, and retain the lower viscous fraction (containing sputum, cells, and organisms), add 1.5 times the volume of Buffer GB1, and incubate for 15-30 min at 37°C, 600 rpm until the sample is completely liquefied.1d: For non-viscous body fluid samples such as blood and cerebrospinal fluid, liquefaction treatment is not required, and an appropriate amount of sample is taken directly, the operation of step 2 is carried out, and the cell precipitate is collected by centrifugation.2. Centrifuge at 10000 rpm for 5-10 min at room temperature and carefully discard the supernatant.Note: Do not disturb the lower cell sediment to avoid sample loss.3. Add 500 µl Buffer GB2, vortex to mix, and incubate at room temperature, 600 rpm for 10 min. 4. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min and carefully remove the supernatant.Note: Do not disturb the bacterial precipitate when removing the supernatant to avoid sample loss.5. Add 200 µl of Buffer GB2 to the precipitate, add 2 µl of Benzonase and incubate for 30 min at 37°C, 600 rpm. 6. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min, discard the supernatant, add 500 µl of Buffer GB2, vortex and wash the precipitate. Repeat the procedure once.7. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min, discard the supernatant, and finally aspirate the residual Buffer GB2 with a small-volume tip. 8. Add 180 µl Lysozyme (10 mg/ml), resuspend the bacterial precipitate and transfer the bacterial resuspension to a Lysis Tube.9. The Lysis Tube is incubated at 37°C, 600 rpm for 20-30 min, then vortexed for 10 min or processed on a thermostatic homogenizer for 10 min at maximum vibration speed (2500-2900 rpm).10. Centrifuge briefly, add 20 µl proteinase K, vortex to mix, add 200 µl buffer GL, vortex to mix, and incubate for 30 min at 56°C, 600 rpm. Note: 1) Do not add Proteinase K directly to Buffer GL.2）For RNA removal, add 4 µl DNase-Free RNase A (100 mg/ml) before adding Buffer GL, shake to mix, and let stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.11. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 min and carefully aspirate the supernatant into a new centrifuge tube. Note: Do not aspirate the glass beads.12. Add 200 µl of anhydrous ethanol, vortex to mix, and centrifuge momentarily to collect the solution to the bottom of the tube. Note: The addition of anhydrous ethanol may produce a white precipitate that will not affect subsequent experiments.13. Add all of the solution from step 12, including the precipitate, to the Spin Columns DM in the collection tube, or transfer the solution several times if it cannot be added all at once. centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste from the collection tube, and return the column to the collection tube.14. Add 500 µl Buffer GW1 to the adsorbent column (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 min, pour off the waste liquid from the collection tube, and put the adsorbent column back into the collection tube.15. Add 500 µl Buffer GW2 to the adsorbent 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 adsorbent column back into the collection tube. Note: Step 15 can be repeated once if further improvement of DNA purity is required.16. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 2 minutes and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube. Leave the column at room temperature for a few minutes and dry thoroughly. Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorbent column; ethanol residue can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions (digestion, PCR, etc.).17. Place the adsorbent column in a new centrifuge tube (supplied), add 50 µl of Buffer GE to the center of the adsorbent column overhang, let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, collect the DNA solution, and store the DNA at -20 °C. Attention:1）If the downstream experiments are sensitive to pH or EDTA, sterilized water can be used for elution. The pH value of the eluent has a great influence on the elution efficiency. If the eluent is made of water, the pH value should be 7.0-8.5 (the pH value of water can be adjusted to this range with NaOH), and the elution efficiency is not high when the pH value is lower than 7.0.2）Incubation at room temperature for 5 minutes prior to centrifugation increases yield.3）If the final concentration of DNA is to be increased, the DNA eluate obtained in step 17 can be re-spiked onto the adsorbent membrane and step 17 repeated. 4）DNA stored in water will be affected by acidic hydrolysis. For long-term storage, it is recommended to elute with Buffer GE and store at -20℃...

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...
