| Description | Reducing sugars (RS) are widely present in animals, plants, microorganisms, and cultured cells. Reducing sugars in plants primarily include glucose, fructose, and maltose. Among these, glucose and fructose are not only the main substrates for respiration but also serve as substrates for the further Reducing sugars (RS) are widely present in animals, plants, microorganisms, and cultured cells. Reducing sugars in plants primarily include glucose, fructose, and maltose. Among these, glucose and fructose are not only the main substrates for respiration but also serve as substrates for the further synthesis of sucrose, starch, and cellulose.Detection Principle: In an alkaline solution, 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) can be reduced by reducing sugars to produce a brown-red-colored amino compound, which has a characteristic absorption peak at 540 nm. Within a certain concentration range, the RS content is linearly correlated with the absorbance at 540 nm. The RS content in the sample can be calculated based on a standard curve.Detection Range: 0.05 - 0.6 mg/mLSensitivity: 0.025 mg/mLApplicable Samples: Plant tissues, animal tissues, cells, bacteria, serum (plasma)R1501790Component48T96TStorageR1501790AExtraction Buffer60 mL120 mL2-8℃R1501790BDNS Reagent10 mL20 mL2-8℃.

If ΔA <sub> test </sub> is less than 0.04, consider increasing the sample volume appropriately. If ΔA <sub> test </sub> is greater than the ΔA <sub> standard </sub> of the 0.6 mg/mL standard, further dilute the sample with Extraction Buffer (multiply the result by the dilution factor) or reduce the amount of sample used for extraction.5.

And adopting an innovative high-temperature treatment method, the transformation time is greatly shortened, the transformation efficiency is improved, and the transformation efficiency can reach over 99%. At the same time, using a silicon-based membrane purification column, DNA can be recovered and purified from the methylated solution through a simple binding washing elution step. The recovered DNA has high purity and good integrity, and can be directly used for sequencing, methylated PCR detection, chip analysis, connection and transformation, enzyme digestion, labeling, microinjection, PCR and in vitro transcription and other molecular biology experiments.Self prepared reagents: anhydrous ethanol, 75% ethanol.Preparation and important precautions before the experiment1.

Firefly Product introduction：Reporter gene detection is an important tool for analyzing the interaction between potential cis elements (such as promoters, enhancers and silencers) and trans acting factors in the flanking region of structural genes in the field of modern molecular biology. Firefly luciferase is widely used in gene regulation and drug screening. Firefly luciferase is a protein with a molecular weight of about 61 KD. In the presence of ATP, magnesium ions and oxygen, it can catalyze the production of oxyluciferin from luciferin. In the process of luciferin oxidation, it will produce a light signal. The optical signal of this kit is a kind of instantaneous light, which needs to be detected immediately after adding the working solution. The half-life of optical signal is about 5 min.Instruction：1.Working fluid configuration ( 1 ) Restore all components to room temperature. ( 2 ) The component B ( stock solution ) was fully diluted with component A to prepare a 0.2 mg / mL firefly luciferase working solution, which was vortexed and shaken to ensure full mixing. Note : The firefly luciferase working solution cannot be repeatedly frozen and thawed. If the dosage of a single experiment is small, it is recommended to subpackage according to a single dosage. At room temperature, the activity decreased by about 10 % after the working solution was configured for 3 h, and the activity decreased by about 25 % after 5 h. 2.chemiluminescence value detection ( 1 ) The cell culture plate was taken out from the incubator and incubated at room temperature for 20 min to restore it to room temperature ( 22-25 ° C ). ( 2 ) Add the same volume of firefly luciferase working solution with the medium to the culture plate and mix well. ( 3 ) Incubation at room temperature for 5 min. Note : The incubation time can be adjusted according to cell type and cell number. ( 4 ) The values were read by multifunctional microplate reader or chemiluminescence instrument ( instrument parameters : the determination time was 10 s, the determination interval was 2 s ).Matters needing attention：1. please centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube immediately before use, and then conduct subsequent experiments. 2. the strongest wavelength of bioluminescence catalyzed by firefly luciferase is 560 nm. 3. to prevent interference between holes, it is recommended to use white opaque orifice plate.Recommendation：Component B is recommended to use sterile water in advance to configure 2 mg / mL storage solution, A component and B component configured as storage solution, and small batch packaging according to the experimental requirements. The detection working fluid is recommended to be used now to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
