Simultaneously, tissues like the liver and Triglycerides (TG), also known as triacylglycerols, are fat molecules formed from three long-chain fatty acids and glycerol. They are the most abundant lipids in the human body. Most tissues can utilize the breakdown products of triglycerides for energy. Simultaneously, tissues like the liver and adipose tissue can synthesize triglycerides. The enzymatic method for measuring TG is commonly used in biochemical assays due to its characteristics: 1. High sensitivity, accuracy, and precision; 2. Use of mild reaction conditions; 3. Simple operation; 4. Suitable for semi-automatic biochemical analyzers.Detection Principle: Triglycerides are hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase (LPL) into glycerol and free fatty acids. Glycerol is then phosphorylated by glycerol kinase (GK) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to form glycerol-3-phosphate (G-3-P). G-3-P is subsequently oxidized by glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase (GPO), producing hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide, in the presence of peroxidase (POD), 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP), and phenol (collectively known as PAP), reacts to form a red-colored quinoneimine dye (Trinder reaction). The quinoneimine dye has a maximum absorption at 510 nm. The absorbance is directly proportional to the triglyceride concentration in the sample and can be measured using a microplate reader between 500-520 nm.This kit is used for the quantitative determination of triglyceride content in serum, cells, tissues, and other samples from humans or animals. This kit is intended for research use only and is not suitable for clinical diagnosis or other purposes.Component100TStorageBuffer Solution24 mL2-8℃. Store in the dark.Enzyme Reagent6 mL2-8℃.

Sample Preparation1.1 Serum, Plasma, Cerebrospinal Fluid SamplesSerum or plasma separated from the test sample should not be hemolyzed. Assay directly. If the concentration exceeds the linear range, dilute with physiological saline before assaying.1.2 Cell Samples(1) Take an appropriate amount of cells (generally recommended >10⁶), centrifuge at 1000 g for 10 min, discard the supernatant, keep the pellet.(2) Wash the pellet 1-2 times with PBS or physiological saline, centrifuge at 1000 g for 10 min, discard the supernatant, keep the pellet.(3) Add 200-300 µL of PBS or physiological saline to homogenize. Sonicate the cells on ice (power 300W, pulse 3-5s, interval 30s, repeat 3-5 times). Alternatively, homogenize manually. Do not centrifuge the prepared homogenate. Alternatively, lyse with 1-2% Triton X-100 on ice for 30-60 min. Do not centrifuge the prepared lysate.1.3 Tissue SamplesAccurately weigh an appropriate amount of tissue sample. Add physiological saline or PBS at a mass (g) to volume (mL) ratio of 1:9. Homogenize manually or mechanically on ice. Centrifuge at 2500-3000 g for 10 min. Collect the supernatant for assay.2.

Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles for the low-temperature reagents mentioned above to prevent inactivation or decreased efficiency.2. The GPO-PAP Working Solution should be prepared immediately before use and is not suitable for long-term storage at 4°C.3. This method can be directly used to detect TG content in cerebrospinal fluid but cannot directly detect TG in urine, as untreated urine contains reducing substances that interfere with the peroxidase reaction.4. If test samples cannot be assayed immediately, they should be stored at 2-8°C and are stable for 3 days.5. The linear range of this method is up to 9.0 mmol/L. If the sample TG concentration is too high, results may be falsely low. Dilute the sample with physiological saline and re-assay, multiplying the result by the dilution factor.6. The working reagent should be protected from contamination by substances like glucose and cholesterol.7. The reagent is susceptible to oxidation by air, turning red. A blank measurement is necessary.8. For your safety and health, please wear a lab coat and disposable gloves during operation.9.Use the reagents as soon as possible after opening to prevent affecting subsequent experimental results...

The main component of the detection reagent is a redox indicator. 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 | Inquire | Product Content D669986Component50 TStorageD669986ABuffer SA15 mLRTD669986B2×PCR MasterMix1 mL-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.2. Repeated freezing and thawing of the samples should be avoided, as this will result in smaller DNA fragments and a decrease in the amount of extracted DNA.3. Before use, please check Buffer SA for crystallization or precipitation. If crystallization or precipitation occurs, please re-dissolve Buffer SA in a 56℃ water bath.4. The PCR MasterMix provided with this product is 2×, when using it, you need to add template and primer, and add RNase-Free Water to make up the volume, so that its concentration is 1× to carry out the reaction.Procedure1. 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...

One can choose to use the three enzymes in combination to completely remove all N-linked glycans present on a glycoprotein or peptide,The Endo F Multi-Kit will deglycosylate N-linked glycans in both native and denatured conditions. Each enzyme has a distinct specificity for N-linked glycan release. One can choose to use the three enzymes in combination to completely remove all N-linked glycans present on a glycoprotein or peptide, or to use each enzyme independently and thereby determine the type of N-glycans present.Product DescriptionThe Endo F Multi-kit is recommended to deglycosylate native proteins that are resistant to PNGase F cleavage under non-denatured conditions due to the glycan location within the protein’s three-dimensional structure, as these enzymes are known to be less sensitive to protein conformation.Each of the enzymes has a different N-linked glycan specificity:Endoglycosidase F1 cleaves high mannose and some hybrid type N-glycansEndoglycosidase F2 releases biantennary and high mannose glycans (at a 40X reduced rate)Endoglycosidase F3 will release triantennarry and fucosylated biantennary N-glycansContents1 vial: Endo F1- 20 µl (0.3 U)20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.51 vial: Endo F2- 20 µl (0.1 U)10 mM sodium acetate, 25 mM NaCl, pH 4.51 vial: Endo F3- 20 µl (0.1 U)20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.51 vial: 5x Reaction Buffer - 400 µl250 mM sodium acetate, pH4.51 vial: 5x Reaction Buffer - 400 µl250 mM sodium phosphate, pH5.5Specific ActivityDefined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the release of N-linked oligosaccharides from 1 micro-mole of denatured Ribonuclease B (Endo F1) or porcine fibrinogen peptides (Endo F2/F3) in 1 minute at 37°C, pH 5.5 (PH 4.5 for Endo F3). Cleavage is monitored by SDS-PAGE.FormulationThe enzymes are provided as a sterile-filtered solution.StabilitySeveral days exposure to ambient temperatures will not reduce activity. Stable at least 12 months when stored properly.SpecificityEndo F1 cleaves Asparagine-linked (N-linked) high mannose or hybrid oligosaccharides. Endo F2 cleaves N-linked biantennary oligosaccharides and high mannose (at a 40X reduced rate). Endo F3 cleaves free or N-linked fucosylated biantennary or triantennary oligosaccharides,as well as triamannosylchitobiose core structures. These enzymes cleave between the two N-acetylglucosamine residues in the diacetylchitobiose core of the oligosaccharide, generating a truncated sugar molecule with one N-acetylglucosamine residue remaining on the asparagine. The recombinant version is not glycosylated, which may result in properties differing from the native protein.Quality & PurityEndo F1, Endo F2, and Endo F3 are tested for contaminating protease as follows: 10 µg of denatured BSA is incubated at 37°C for 24 hours with 2 µl of enzyme. SDS-PAGE analysis of the treated BSA shows no evidence of degradation. The absence of exoglycosidase contaminants is confirmed by extended incubations with the corresponding pNP-glycosides. Directions for use 1. Add up to 200 µg of glycoprotein to an Eppendorf tube. Adjust to 34 µl final volume with de-ionized water. 2. Add 10 µl Endo F2 &F3 5x Reaction Buffer, 250 mM sodium acetate pH 4.5. Use Endo F1 buffer, 250 mM sodium phosphate pH 5.5 if you are using the Endo F1 enzyme alone. 4. Add 2.0 µl of each enzyme to the reaction. Incubate 3 hours at 37°C. Monitor cleavage by SDS-PAGE.
