Tissue Samples: Weigh approximately 0.1 g of tissue, add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer, homogenize on ice, and then centrifuge at 12000 rpm, 4°C for 5 minutes. Collect the supernatant for assay.Note: If increasing the sample amount, use a ratio of 1:5 to 1:10 (tissue weight (g) : Extraction Buffer volume (mL)) for extraction.2. Bacterial/Cell Samples: Collect bacteria or cells into a centrifuge tube by centrifugation and discard the supernatant. Take approximately 5 million bacteria or cells, add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer, and disrupt using ultrasound on ice (power 200 W, ultrasonicate for 3 s, interval 10 s, repeat 30 times). Centrifuge at 12000 rpm, 4°C for 10 minutes. Collect the supernatant and keep it on ice for assay.Note: If increasing the sample amount, use a ratio of 500-1000 (x10⁴ cells) : 1 (mL Extraction Buffer) for extraction.Assay Procedure1. Preheat the UV spectrophotometer for 30 minutes. Set the wavelength to 340 nm and the temperature to 25°C. Zero the instrument with distilled water.2. Thaw all reagents to room temperature (25°C).3. In a 1 mL quartz cuvette (1 cm light path), add sequentially:Reagent (µL)Test TubeSample80Reagent 140Reagent 220Reagent 320Reagent 4600Mix well and incubate at room temperature (25°C) for 10 minutes.4. Add Reagent (µL)Test TubeReagent 5205. Mix gently. At room temperature (25°C), read the absorbance at 340 nm at 30 seconds (A1) and then again after 10 minutes (A2). Calculate ΔA = A1 - A2.Notes:1. If ΔA is close to zero, the reaction time can be appropriately extended to 20 minutes before reading A2. The modified reaction time must be substituted into the calculation formula. Alternatively, increase the sample volume appropriately (e.g., 100 µL, with a corresponding decrease in Reagent 4 volume). The modified sample volume must be substituted into the calculation formula.2. If the decreasing trend is unstable, read the absorbance every 20 seconds and select a linear decreasing period for calculation. The corresponding ΔA value should be substituted into the calculation formula.3. If the initial absorbance A1 is too high (e.g., >2, as in deeply pigmented plant leaves), appropriately reduce the sample volume. The modified sample volume must be substituted into the calculation formula. Alternatively, add a small amount of activated carbon to the sample, mix, let stand for 5 min, then centrifuge at 12000 rpm, 4°C for 10 min, and use the supernatant for detection.4. If ΔA is greater than 0.5, reduce the reaction time (e.g., to 5 min) or reduce the sample volume (e.g., to 20 µL). The modified reaction time (T) and sample volume (V1) must be substituted into the calculation formula.PGK Activity Calculation1.

This product can process 0.1-1 mL of whole blood with a maximum yield of 30% µ g. It can purify DNA with sizes ranging from 100 bp to 50 kb. The purified DNA has high yield and good quality, and can remove protein, pigment, lipid, and other inhibitory impurities to the maximum extent. It can be directly used for PCR, fluorescence quantitative PCR, enzyme digestion, and Southern Blot experiments.Self prepared reagent: anhydrous ethanol.Preparation and important precautions before the experiment:1. The sample should avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, otherwise it may result in smaller extracted DNA fragments and a decrease in extraction volume.2. This reagent kit can extract up to 0.1-1 mL of whole blood samples or 1 × 107 white blood cells.3.Before the first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer GW1 and Buffer GW2 according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.4. Before use, please check if there is any crystallization or precipitation in the Buffer GL. If there is any crystallization or precipitation, please incubate the Buffer GL in a 56 ℃ water bath and dissolve it again.5. The Buffer RCL in the reagent kit cannot be used again after being turbid.Operation steps:1. Sample processing: 1a When extracting 200 uL of blood sample, add the sample to the centrifuge tube (provided) and proceed directly to the next step of the experiment. 1b When the blood sample size is less than 200 µ When L, add Buffer GR to make up for 200 µ L. Proceed to the next step of the experiment. 1c When the blood sample size exceeds 200 µ When L is reached, add 1-2 times the volume of Buffer RCL, gently vortex or invert and mix well. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm (~13400 × g) for 1 minute and carefully discard the supernatant. If there is still red in the sediment, repeat the above steps once. Then add 200 to the precipitate µ Shake the buffer GR until thoroughly mixed before proceeding to the next step of the experiment. 1d If the processed blood sample is anticoagulant from poultry, birds, amphibians, or lower level organisms, its red blood cells are nucleated cells, and the blood sample size is 5-20 µ L. Can be added to Buffer GR to make up to 200 µ Follow up experiments will be conducted afterwards. Note: If downstream experiments are sensitive to RNA, 4 can be added µ L RNase A (100mg/mL) solution, shake for 15 seconds, and leave at room temperature for 5 minutes. RNase A reagent kit is not provided. If needed, you can order it separately from our company, item number: CW0601S.2. Add 20 to the above solution µ L Protein K, mix well.3. Add 200 µ Shake with L Buffer GL until thoroughly mixed. Note: Do not pre mix Protein K and Buffer GL.4.Incubate at 4.56 ℃ for 10 minutes, invert and mix several times during this time. Attention: The DNA production has reached its maximum after 10 minutes of incubation, and further extension of incubation time has no effect on DNA production and purity.5. Add 200 µ L anhydrous ethanol, invert and mix several times. Short centrifugation causes the liquid on the tube wall and wall cover to concentrate at the bottom of the tube.6. Add all the solution obtained in step 5 to the spin columns DM that have been loaded into the collection tube. If the solution cannot be added at once, it can be transferred multiple times. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.7. Add 500 to the adsorption column µ L Buffer GW1 (check if anhydrous ethanol is added before use), centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube. Note: If the extracted sample is the blood genome of species such as mice or monkeys that are difficult to remove heme, it is recommended to repeat step 7.8. Add 500 to the adsorption column µ L Buffer GW2 (check if anhydrous ethanol is added before use), centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube. Note: To further improve DNA purity, repeat step 8.9.Centrifuge at 9.12000 rpm for 2 minutes and discard the waste liquid from the collection tube. Place the adsorption column at room temperature for a few minutes to thoroughly air dry. Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column, which can affect subsequent enzymatic reactions (such as enzyme digestion, PCR, etc.)10. Place the adsorption column in a new centrifuge tube (provided by oneself) and add 50-200 to the middle of the adsorption column in the air µ L Buffer GE or sterilized water, leave at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, collect DNA solution, and store DNA at -20 ℃. Note: 1) If downstream experiments are sensitive to pH or EDTA, they can be washed off with sterilized water. The pH value of the eluent has a significant impact on the elution efficiency. If water is used as the eluent, its pH value should be ensured to be between 7.0-8.5 (NaOH can be used to adjust the pH value of the water to this range). When the pH value is below 7.0, the elution efficiency is not high. 2) If the final concentration of DNA needs to be increased, the obtained DNA eluent can be added back to the adsorption membrane, left at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, and centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 1 minute. 3) Because DNA stored in water is affected by acidic hydrolysis, if long-term storage is required, it is recommended to elute with Buffer GE and store at -20 ℃...
