Read More | Cell viability and cytotoxicity assays are usually used for drug screening and compound cytotoxicity testing. The CCK-8 kit uses highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt ( called WST-8 ) to produce water-soluble WST-8 for cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays. Unlike MTT, WST-8 and WST-8 have no Cell viability and cytotoxicity assays are usually used for drug screening and compound cytotoxicity testing. The CCK-8 kit uses highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt ( called WST-8 ) to produce water-soluble WST-8 for cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays. Unlike MTT, WST-8 and WST-8 have no cytotoxicity in cell culture medium, so multiple downstream experiments can be performed using the same detection plate. CCK-8 method is a convenient colorimetric method for the determination of cell viability. It does not need the solubilization process and only needs the least steps to provide the results. The CCK-8 method can be used for the determination of 96-well microplates and high-throughput screening of 384-well microplates. Advantage：At present, the commercially available liquid CCK-8 kits generally have defects such as harsh storage conditions ( -4C or -20 ), unstable use in different pH ranges, and easy deterioration ( discoloration or precipitation ). The solid instant CCK-8 kit adopts a new formula and Swiss process, which overcomes these shortcomings of the liquid CCK-8 kit. It can be stored at room temperature for a long time ( > 3 years ), ready to use, stable in a wide pH range, and the experimental results are more reliable. Compared with the liquid CCK-8 kit, the solid-soluble CCK-8 kit has higher sensitivity and the biological response time is shortened by half.Application scope:It can be used for drug screening, cell proliferation assay, cytotoxicity assay, tumor drug sensitivity test and activity detection of biological factors. Operating instructions:This reagent kit can be used for drug screening, cell proliferation assay, cytotoxicity assay, tumor drug sensitivity assay, and activity detection of biological factors.1. Carefully and slowly tear along the gap in the packaging bag;2. Pour all the powder in the bag into a clean container containing 10mL of ultrapure water, shake continuously for 1 minute, and use it when the solid is completely dissolved;3. Unused reagents must be stored at low temperatures below 4 ℃.Equipment required for testing:Enzyme reader 96 well plate with 450-490 nm filter;Carbon dioxide incubator;96 well plate, sterilized transparent plate for cell detection;Multi channel pipette (8 or 12 channels: 10-100 µ l);Blood cell counter or cell counter.Cell viability testing:1. Inoculate cell suspension (100 µ l/well) into a 96 well plate and pre culture the plate in a carbon dioxide incubator for 24 hours (37 ℃, 5% CO2);2. Add 10 µ l of CCK-8 solution to each well (be careful not to generate bubbles in the well as it may affect the reading of OD value);3. Incubate the culture plate in the incubator for 1-4 hours;4. Measure the absorbance at 450 nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader;5. If the OD value is not determined temporarily, 10 µ l of 0.1M HCI solution or 1% w/v SDS solution can be added to each well, and the culture plate can be covered and stored in the dark at room temperature. Within 24 hours of measurement, the absorbance will not change.Cell proliferation toxicity testing:1. Inoculate cell suspension (100 µ l/well) into a 96 well plate and pre culture the plate in an incubator for 24 hours (37 ℃, 5% CO2);2. Add 10ul of different concentrations of the substance to be tested to the culture plate;3. Incubate the culture plate in the incubator for an appropriate period of time (e.g. 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours);4. Add 10 µ l of CCK-8 solution to each well (be careful not to generate bubbles in the well as they may affect the reading of the OD value);5. Incubate the culture plate in the incubator for 1-4 hours;6. Measure the absorbance at 450nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader;7. If the OD value is not determined temporarily, 10 µ l of 0.1M HCI solution or 1% w/v SDS solution can be added to each well, and the culture plate can be covered and stored in the dark at room temperature. Within 24 hours of measurement, the absorbance will not change.Calculation method for cell survival rate/inhibition rate:Cell survival rate=[As Ab)/(Ac Ab)] x 100%Inhibition rate=[(Ac As)/(Ac Ab)] x 100%As: absorbance of experimental wells (including cells, culture medium, CCK-8 solution, and drug solution);Ac: absorbance of control wells (including cells, culture medium, CCK-8 solution, without drugs);Ab: Blank well absorbance (including culture medium and CCK-8 solution, excluding cells and drugs).Points for attention： 1.Unused reagents must be stored at low temperature below 4 °C, and stored in the dark at-20 °C for two years after unpacking, so as to avoid repeated thawing ; 2.The culture time of CCK-8 is generally 1-4 hours, but the naked eye can be taken out to observe the color degree in about 30 minutes. According to the cell type, the conditions need to be explored. The best reaction time of CCK-8 is based on the best time of specific color development.3. It is recommended to do a few holes to explore the number of inoculated cells and the culture time after adding CCK-8 reagent ; 3.The WST-8 in this kit will react with reducing agents ( such as some antioxidants ) to interfere with the detection. Before the cell proliferation-toxicity test, the background OD can be checked to confirm whether there is a reducing agent in the substance to be tested. If the effect of reducing agent needs to be removed, the fresh medium can be replaced before adding CCK-8 ( remove the medium, wash the cells twice with the medium, and then add the new medium ) ; 4.Phenol red in the medium does not affect the experimental results, and the absorbance of phenol red can be eliminated by deducting the absorbance of the background in the blank hole during calculation, so it will not affect the detection. 5.It is recommended to use a multi-channel pipette to reduce the difference between parallel holes. When adding CCK-8 reagent, it is recommended to add it obliquely to the wall of the culture plate, not to insert it under the liquid surface of the medium, which is easy to produce bubbles and interfere with OD determination. 6.If the drug contains metal, it has an effect on the color of CCK-8. The final concentration of 1mM lead chloride, ferric chloride and copper sulfate will inhibit the color reaction of 5 %, 15 % and 90 %, and reduce the sensitivity. If the final concentration is 10mM, the color reaction will be 100 % inhibited ; 7.When using a 96-well plate for detection, if the cell culture time is long, attention should be paid to the evaporation problem. On the one hand, because a circle around the 96-well plate is the easiest to evaporate, the method of discarding the surrounding circle can be adopted, and the same amount of PBS, water or culture medium can be added. On the other hand, the 96-well plate can be placed near the water source in the incubator to alleviate evaporation ; 8.When using standard 96-well plates, the minimum inoculation amount of adherent cells is at least 1,000 cells / well ( 100µl medium ). The sensitivity of detecting white blood cells is relatively low, so it is recommended that the inoculation amount should not be less than 2,500 cells / well ( 100 µl medium ). If you want to use a 24-well plate or a 6-well plate experiment, first calculate the corresponding inoculation amount per well, and add the CCK-8 solution according to 10 % of the total volume of the medium per well ; 9.Cell culture time varies according to the type and number of cells ( per well ), usually the color of white blood cells is weak, requiring a longer culture time ( 4 hours ) and a large number of cells ( ~ 105 cells / well ) ; 10.CCK-8 reagent is very low toxic to cells. The continuous reaction between it and dehydrogenase in living cells makes the color of the solution deepen and the OD value increase. The following methods can terminate the CCK-8 reaction ( 96-well plate ) : a ) After the color reaction, the culture plate was placed in a refrigerator at 4 ° C ; b ) 10µL 0.1MHCL solution was added to each well ; c ) 10 µL 1 % ( w / v ) SDS ( sodium dodecyl sulfate ) solution was added to each well. After the reaction stopped, the OD value should be measured within 24 hours. 11.To determine the specific number of cells, it is recommended to do the standard curve at the same time...

It is easy to operate as it does not require the use of organic solvents such as phenol and chloroform for extraction. The kit uses a unique buffer system to enable efficient and specific binding of viral nucleic acids in lysate to silica gel centrifugal adsorption columns. 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...
