| Description | Inquire | The bacterial viability / toxicity detection kit contains two fluorescent dyes. Nucgreen is a green nucleic acid dye that can stain live and dead bacteria; Ethd III is a red nucleic acid dye that only stains dead bacteria with damaged cell membranes. When nucgreen and ethd III are properly mixed, The bacterial viability / toxicity detection kit contains two fluorescent dyes. Nucgreen is a green nucleic acid dye that can stain live and dead bacteria; Ethd III is a red nucleic acid dye that only stains dead bacteria with damaged cell membranes. When nucgreen and ethd III are properly mixed, the bacteria with intact cell membrane appear green, while the bacteria with damaged cell membrane can appear green and red under different channels, respectively. A common criterion for bacterial viability is the ability to propagate in a suitable nutrient medium, known as a growth assay. This kit is generally in good agreement with the growth assay results in liquid or solid medium. However, under certain conditions, membrane damaged bacteria may recover and propagate in nutrient medium, and such bacteria will be identified as dead bacteria in this assay. On the contrary, some bacteria with intact membranes may not be able to propagate in nutrient medium, but will be recognized as viable bacteria in this assay. Therefore, if there is a large difference between the test results of this kit and the bacterial growth assay, the above possibilities should be considered. Component： Product parameters： NucGreen: Ex/Em = 503/530 nm (结合 DNA)；EthD-III: Ex/Em = 530/620 nm (结合 DNA)。Usage:1 Preparation of control samples for live and dead bacteria (optional)1. Cultivate 4 mL of bacteria in liquid medium until late logarithmic phase.2. Prepare two 1 mL bacterial solutions in an EP tube and centrifuge for 10-15 minutes under 5000-10000 g conditions.3. Remove the supernatant and add 0.3 mL of 0.85% NaCl resuspended bacteria to one of the EP tubes, and 1 mL of 0.85% NaCl resuspended bacteria to the other tube.4. Add 0.7 mL of isopropanol to a tube containing 0.3 mL of 0.85% NaCl, and mix thoroughly (with a final concentration of 70% isopropanol) to prepare a dead bacterial sample.5. Incubate the two samples at room temperature for 1 hour and mix every 15 minutes.6. Centrifuge the two samples at 5000-10000 g for 10-15 minutes.7. Remove the supernatant, add 1 mL of 0.85% NaCl to resuspend the bacteria in both samples, and centrifuge again as in step 6.8. Use a spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance values (OD670) of two bacterial suspensions at 670 nm.9. Adjust the density of the two bacterial suspensions (live and dead) to 108 bacteria/mL (OD670 ≈ 0.3), and then dilute with 0.85% NaCl at 1:100 to achieve a final density of 106 bacteria/mL.10. Mix two bacterial suspensions as shown in the table below to obtain the required live cell ratio: dead cell ratio.Table 1 Mix live and dead bacterial suspensions by a certain volume to achieve the required ratio of live and dead cellsLive cells: Dead cellsVolume of viable bacterial suspension（mL）Volume of dead bacterial suspension（mL）0:10001.010:900.10.920:800.20.830:700.30.750:500.50.5100:01.00II Staining methods for fluorescence microscopy observation1. Mix 1 volume of component A, NucGreen, and 2 volumes of component B, EthD-III, in a microcentrifuge tube. After thorough mixing, add 8 volumes of 0.85% NaCl solution to obtain a 100 x dye solution.2. Every 100 µ L bacterial suspension, add 1 µ 100 x dye solution of L.3. Mix thoroughly and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 15 minutes.4. Take 5 µ The bacterial suspension after L staining was dropped onto a glass slide with an 18 mm square cover glass.5. Observe under a fluorescence microscope. The fluorescence of live and dead bacteria can be observed simultaneously under any standard FITC long-acting filter. Alternatively, live (green fluorescent) and dead (red fluorescent) bacteria can be observed using FITC and Cy3 (or Texas Red) channels, respectively.Attention: (1) Before staining bacteria, attention must be paid to removing residues of growth media. Nucleic acid and other media components can bind to NucGreen and EthD-III dyes in some way, resulting in unacceptable staining changes. A simple washing step is usually sufficient to remove interfering media components from bacterial suspension. It is not recommended to use phosphate buffer solutions as they can reduce staining efficiency. (2) Before starting the formal experiment, the dye concentration should be adjusted to distinguish between NucGreen labeling live bacteria and EthD-III labeling dead bacteria. The optimal concentration may vary depending on the bacterial strain. It is generally best to use the lowest dye concentration that can provide sufficient signal. The above conditions have been optimized for staining live/dead cells of Escherichia coli.III Before starting the staining method experiment of flow cytometry, please read the precautions under the fluorescence microscope staining steps.According to Table 1, add 11 different proportions of live and dead bacteria to the EP tube. Each of the 11 samples has a volume of 1 mL.2. Add 12 µ The A component of L, NucGreen, and 24 µ The B component EthD-III of L was mixed in a microcentrifuge tube. Add 3 to each of the 11 samples µ Mix the mixed dyes of L thoroughly by blowing them up and down several times. (Note: Additional control bacterial samples need to be prepared for separate NucGreen and EthD-III staining)3. Incubate at room temperature in the dark for 15 minutes.4. Analyze each sample using a flow cytometer, detect NucGreen positive cells using FITC channels, and detect EthD-III positive cells using PI or PE channels.Matters needing attention：1. please centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube immediately before use, and then conduct subsequent experiments. 2. if the orifice plate is used for detection, a small amount of bacterial liquid can be left for imaging after standing for 10 min, which can effectively reduce the background. 3. in order to be closer to the real results, it is recommended to keep the brightness of red fluorescence consistent with that of green fluorescence in merge pictures. 4. fluorescent dyes have quenching problems. Please try to avoid light during experimental operation to slow down fluorescence quenching. 5. for your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and disposable gloves.Scope of application：Staining of dead and live bacteria...

The extracted samples should avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, otherwise it will affect the quantity and quality of RNA extraction.3. Please add Buffer RL before use β- Mercaptoethanol, with a final concentration of 1%. Add 10 to 1 ml Buffer RL µ L β Mercaptoethanol. join β- The buffer RL room temperature of mercaptoethanol can be stored for one month. No need to add buffer RLC when using it β- Mercaptoethanol.Before the first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer RW2 according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.5. If precipitation occurs in Buffer RL and Buffer RLC, please heat them to dissolve and place them at room temperature.6. All centrifugation steps should be carried out at room temperature unless otherwise specified, and all operation steps should be carried out quickly.7. If downstream experiments are highly sensitive to DNA, it is recommended to treat RNA with DNase I without RNase.Operation steps:1. Take 50-100 mg of fresh plant tissue, add liquid nitrogen and quickly grind it into powder.2. Collect the ground powder into a centrifuge tube (provided by oneself) and add 600 µ L Buffer RL (check if it is added before use) β- Sulfhydryl ethanol or Buffer RLC, vortex oscillation causes it to fully decompose.Attention:1) The main component of Buffer RL is guanidine isothiocyanate, which is suitable for the lysis of most plant tissues. However, in some plant tissues (such as corn endosperm), due to the unique secondary metabolites, guanidine isothiocyanate causes precipitation in the sample, resulting in poor RNA extraction efficiency. In this case, Buffer RLC can be added instead of Buffer RL.2) Incubating at 56 ℃ for 1-3 minutes helps with tissue lysis, but plants with high starch content should not be subjected to high-temperature incubation.3. Transfer all the liquid obtained in step 2 to the spin columns FL that have been loaded into the collection tube, centrifuge at 12000 rpm (~13400 × g) for 2 minutes, and transfer the supernatant from the collection tube to a new centrifuge tube (provided by oneself).Attention:1) When aspirating liquid, the tip of the gun can be cut off for easy sampling.2) Spin Columns FL can remove most of the fragments, but there will still be a small amount flowing out. After centrifugation, precipitation will form in the collection tube. When proceeding to the next step, be careful not to absorb the sediment.4. Add 0.5 times the volume of anhydrous ethanol to the clean cracking solution obtained in step 3 and quickly mix well. Attention: Adding ethanol may cause precipitation, but it does not affect subsequent experiments.5.
