The optimized buffer system enables the nucleic acids in the lysate to bind specifically to the adsorbent membrane, and the inhibitors are effectively removed by a two-step rinsing step, and finally eluted with low-salt buffer or water to obtain high purity DNA and RNA, and at the same time, equipped with a high-efficiency microsorbent column, the volume of the elution can be as low as 20 µl. The purified DNA and RNA can be directly used for PCR, Real-time PCR, SNP genotyping, STR genotyping, and so on. The purified DNA and RNA can be directly used for PCR, Real-time PCR, SNP genotyping, STR genotyping, second-generation sequencing, pharmacogenomics research and blot analysis.Self-contained reagent: anhydrous ethanolPre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes 1. After obtaining the sample, fix the sample as soon as possible, the fixation time of 14-24 hours is appropriate, too long a period of time will easily lead toDNA and RNA breaks, affecting downstream experiments. If the formaldehyde fixation time is too long or the sample is stored for too long(>1 year) is prone to compromise DNA integrity and failure to amplify long fragments.2. Ensure that samples are thoroughly dehydrated prior to embedding; residual formalin will inhibit Proteinase K action.3. Add 1.25 ml of Proteinase K Storage Buffer to Proteinase K to dissolve it, and store at -20℃. Do not leave the prepared Proteinase K at room temperature for a long period of time to avoid affecting its activity.4. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer RW2, Buffer GW1 and Buffer GW2 according to the label instructions on the vials before first use.5. Check Buffer GTL, Buffer GL and Buffer DS for crystallization or precipitation prior to use; if crystallization or precipitation occurs, redissolve Buffer GTL, Buffer GL and Buffer DS in a 37°C water bath.6. Preheat the water bath or thermostatic mixer to 56°C before starting the experiment.7. Use an ambient temperature centrifuge or set the centrifuge temperature to 25°C. Temperatures below 15°C may result in clogging of the adsorption column.8. To prevent RNase contamination, the following should be observed:1) Use RNase-free plastics and tips to avoid cross-contamination.(2) Glassware should be dry baked at 180°C for 4 hours before use, plasticware can be soaked in 0.5 M NaOH for 10 minutes, rinsed thoroughly with water and autoclaved.3) RNase-free water should be used to prepare the solution.(4) Operators wear disposable masks and gloves, and change gloves diligently during the experiment.procedureParaffin-embedded samples1.

Add 320 µl of Buffer GL, mix by vortexing and shaking, then add 720 µl of anhydrous ethanol and mix immediately by vortexing and shaking.9. Add all of the resulting solution to the Spin Columns RS in the collection tube; if the solution cannot be added all at once, it may be transferred in several passes. centrifuge the column at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste solution from the collection tube, and place the column back into the collection tube. Note: If the columns are clogged, the sample size may be too large and consideration should be given to reducing the number of starting sections to 1-2.Optional step: If genomic DNA is to be removed, the following steps can be followeda. Add 350 µl of Buffer RW1 to the column, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste solution, and place the column back into the collection tube.b.

Centrifuge briefly so that the solution on the wall of the tube collects at the bottom of the tube. Add all of the solution from step 9 to the Spin Columns DF in the collection tube, or transfer the solution in several passes. centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste solution from the collection tube, and return the column to the 10. collection tube.Note: If the adsorption column is clogged, the sample size may be too large and consideration should be given to reducing the number of starting sections to 1-2.11.

Apoptosis generally refers to a programmed cell death process that occurs during the development of body cells or under the Apoptosis refers to the cell autonomous and orderly death controlled by genes to maintain the stability of the internal environment. Apoptosis is different from cell necrosis. Apoptosis generally refers to a programmed cell death process that occurs during the development of body cells or under the action of some factors through the regulation of intracellular genes and their products. Cell necrosis is a cell death process that is caused by strong physical and chemical or biological factors to cause disordered changes in cells. The difference between apoptosis and necrosis lies in the characteristic morphological and biochemical changes, including the changes of cell membrane permeability and nuclear chromatin, the contraction of cytoplasm and the loss of membrane asymmetry. The oxazole yellow/pi membrane permeability apoptosis detection kit produced by our company is a dual fluorescence detection kit based on oxazole yellow and PI dyes. This kit is suitable for fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, fluorescence microplate reader and other fluorescence detection systems. Oxazole yellow is a non cell membrane penetrating cyanine monomer green fluorescent dye with high affinity for DNA. It basically has no fluorescence when it is not bound to DNA, but can emit bright green fluorescence after binding to DNA. When apoptosis occurs, the permeability of cell membrane changes. At this time, oxazole yellow can enter the cell and bind to DNA, emitting bright green fluorescence. Therefore, it is often used for the detection of apoptosis. It should be noted that oxazole yellow can also stain dead cells, so it needs to be double stained with PI that specifically fluorescently stains dead cells to effectively determine apoptosis. PI (propidium iodide) is a red fluorescent dye that can stain DNA. It is an analog of pyridine bromide that releases red fluorescence after embedding double stranded DNA. Although PI cannot pass through the membrane of living cells, it can cross the damaged cell membrane of dead cells to stain nuclei. Therefore, oxazole yellow combined with PI can be directly used for the detection of apoptosis. Apoptotic cells show green fluorescence, dead cells show both red and green fluorescence positive, and living cells have little or no fluorescence.Components: Components O598364-50T A. Oxazole yellow dye 50 µL B. Propidium Iodide (PI) 50 µLUsage (using flow cytometry as an example):1. Cell preparation(1) For adherent cells, after trypsin digestion, resuspend in culture medium and wash once with pre cooled PBS; The digestion time of trypsin should not be too long to prevent false positives. Note: Digest with trypsin and allow the cells to recover in the optimal cell culture conditions and medium for about 30 minutes, then stain.(2) For suspended cells, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and wash once with pre cooled PBS.2. Cell stainingSuspend cells in pre cooled PBS, with a recommended cell count of 106 cells/mL per sample. Add 1 µ L Oxazole Yellow and 1 µ L to 1 mL of the samplePI， Gently blow and mix well. Incubate on ice in the dark for 30 minutes. Note: We suggest adding the following two experimental controls:Blank tube: negative control group cells, without dye, used to regulate voltage.Single staining tube: Positive control group cells were treated with only two tubes, Oxazole yellow and PI, for regulating compensation.3. Flow detectionAfter incubation, the sample can be directly detected by flow cytometry, or centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, the supernatant can be aspirated, and the sample can be resuspended in 1 mL of pre cooled PBS for flow cytometry detection. Oxazole yellow can be excited by a 488 nm laser, and the detected fluorescence emission spectrum is around 530 ± 30 nm (FITC channel), while the PI channel emission spectrum is around 617 nm (PI or PE channel).Product parameters：Oxazole yellow dye:ex/em = 491 / 509 nm (bound DNA); Propidium iodine:ex/em = 535 / 617 nm (combined with DMatters needing attention：1. please centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube immediately before use, and then conduct subsequent experiments. 2. fluorescent dyes have quenching problems. Please try to avoid light to slow down fluorescence quenching. 3. for your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and disposable gloves.Scope of application：Membrane permeability apoptosis assay...
