| Description | Blood potassium plays a crucial role in maintaining normal osmotic pressure, acid-base balance, sugar and protein metabolism, and ensuring normal neuromuscular function. Its concentration is closely related to various important physiological functions. Abnormally high or low levels can disrupt Blood potassium plays a crucial role in maintaining normal osmotic pressure, acid-base balance, sugar and protein metabolism, and ensuring normal neuromuscular function. Its concentration is closely related to various important physiological functions. Abnormally high or low levels can disrupt normal physiological activities. Hyperkalemia increases neuromuscular excitability but decreases myocardial excitability, leading to bradycardia. Hypokalemia can cause muscle weakness or even flaccid paralysis, increase myocardial excitability, and result in tachycardia, arrhythmias, or even cardiac arrest during systole.Detection Principle: Potassium ions (K⁺) in serum react with sodium tetraphenylboron to form water-insoluble potassium tetraphenylboron. The turbidity produced is directly proportional to the potassium ion concentration within a certain range. The serum potassium ion content is determined by measuring this turbidity.Applicable Sample: SerumG1501769Component96 TStorageG1501769AExtraction Buffer50 mL2-8℃G1501769BReagentⅠ2.4 mL2-8℃G1501769CReagentⅡ1EA2-8℃.

Fetch:Plant material: take about 10 mg of sample in a centrifuge tube (provided); Animal material: take about 10 mg of sample in a centrifuge tube (provided);Bacteria: Take 200-800 µL of bacteria in good growth condition in a centrifuge tube (self-provided) and collect the bacteria.2. Add 200 µL of Buffer SA and vortex to mix.Note: In the case of plant leaves and animal tissues, they should be ground with a pestle and mortar as much as possible: in the case of plant seeds, they should be crushed and finely ground beforehand; bacterial and 1-3 mm rat-tail samples can be directly vortex lysed.3. Add 10µL of Proteinase K, mix well, incubate at 56℃ for 10 minutes, and treat at 95℃ for 5 minutes.Note: 1) In the case of animal tissue samples, the incubation time at 56°C may be extended to 30 minutes as appropriate; if there is any incompletely digested tissue, it should be removed as thoroughly as possible after centrifugation in the next step.2) Be careful not to exceed 5 minutes when treating at 95°C.4. 13,000 rpm (~17,900 x g), centrifugation for 5 minutes.5. Transfer the supernatant to a new centrifuge tube (self-prepared) and use it directly for PCR amplification, or store the solution at 4℃ or -20℃.6. PCR amplification:1) PCR reaction system:The following examples are conventional PCR reaction systems and reaction conditions, which should be improved and optimized according to the template, primer structure and target fragment size in actual operation.reagents20 µL systemfinal concentration2×PCR MasterMix10 µL1×Forward Primer, 10 µM1 µL0.4 µMReverse Primer, 10 µM1 µL0.4 µMTemplate DNA1-2 µL RNase-free Waterup to 20 µLNote: Please use the final concentration of 0.2-0.6µM as a reference for setting the range of primer concentration. If the amplification efficiency is not high, the concentration of primer can be increased; if a non-specific reaction occurs, the concentration of primer can be decreased, thus optimizing the reaction system.2）PCR reaction conditions:movetemptimingpremutability94°C2mindenaturation94°C30sannealing (metallurgy)55-65°C30s30-40 cyclesreach72°C60sultimate extension72°C5minNote: 1) In general, the annealing temperature is 5℃ lower than the melting temperature of the amplification primer Tm, and the annealing time is generally 30-60 seconds. When the desired amplification efficiency cannot be obtained, the annealing temperature should be lowered appropriately; when a non-specific reaction occurs, the annealing temperature should be raised, thus optimizing the reaction conditions.(2) The extension time is set according to the size of the fragment to be amplified, and the amplification efficiency of Taq DNA Polymerase included in this product is 1kb/30s. 3) The number of cycles can be set according to the downstream application of the amplification product. If the number of cycles is too low, the amplification is insufficient; if the number of cycles is high, the chance of mismatch will increase and the non-specific background will be serious. Therefore, the number of cycles should be minimized under the premise of ensuring the product yield.(3) Result detection: 5 µL of reaction product was taken at the end of the reaction and directly detected by agarose gel electrophoresis...

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...
