Catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) is widely found in animals, plants, microorganisms, and cultured cells. It is the primary H₂O₂-scavenging enzyme and plays a crucial role in the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging system. H₂O₂ has a characteristic absorption peak at 240 nm. CAT decomposes H₂O₂, causing the absorbance of the reaction solution at 240 nm to decrease over time. The CAT activity can be calculated based on the rate of change in absorbance.Component50TStorageExtraction Buffer60 mL2-8℃Working Solution60 mL2-8℃User-Prepared Instruments and ReagentsUV spectrophotometer, benchtop centrifuge, adjustable pipettes, 1 mL quartz cuvette, mortar, ice, and distilled water.Experimental Procedure1.

Not for use in clinical diagnosis.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)Q: What should I do if I get a negative value?A: Check if bubbles formed during the reaction. Excessive bubbling indicates very high enzyme activity, and bubbles can interfere, causing negative values. Try diluting the sample 10-fold with Extraction Buffer and re-assaying. If no bubbles form (with diluted sample or original reaction) and a small negative value persists, it indicates that the enzyme activity in this sample is below the detection limit...

These endonucleases will cut off genomic DNA between nucleosomes and produce 180 bp-200 BP DNA fragments, which appear as a specific ladder pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis. When double strand or single strand breaks occur in When apoptosis occurs, some DNA endonucleases will be activated. These endonucleases will cut off genomic DNA between nucleosomes and produce 180 bp-200 BP DNA fragments, which appear as a specific ladder pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis. When double strand or single strand breaks occur in genomic DNA, a large number of sticky 3'-oh ends will be generated, which can interact with YF under the catalysis of deoxyribonucleotide terminal transferase (TDT) ®/ CY dUTP binding can directly detect apoptotic cells by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. This kind of method is called terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL). Because normal or proliferating cells have almost no DNA breaks, there is no 3'-oh formation and they can rarely be stained. TUNEL method can stain intact single apoptotic nuclei or apoptotic bodies in situ, can accurately reflect the typical biochemical and morphological characteristics of apoptosis, and can detect a very small number of apoptotic cells, so it is widely used in the study of apoptosis. This kit has a wide range of applications and can be used to detect apoptosis in frozen or paraffin sections, as well as cultured adherent cells or suspended cells. It can selectively detect apoptotic cells, but not necrotic cells or cells with DNA strand breaks caused by irradiation and drug treatment. This kit detects cell apoptosis with a short time-consuming, one-step staining reaction and can be detected after washing.Composition: Composition 20T 50T A. aladdin®640 TUNEL Reaction Buffer 1 mL 2 ×1.25 mL B.

The product can handle liquid samples of 0.1-1 ml, and the elution volume of the configured high-efficiency micro adsorption column can be as low as 20 µl. The purified DNA is of high yield and quality, with maximum removal of proteins, pigments, lipids, and other inhibitors, and the rate of free DNA yield is highly dependent on the type of samples, storage conditions, time, and inter-individual variations. The quality of free DNA obtained from purification is stable and reliable, and can be directly used in molecular biology experiments such as PCR, fluorescence quantitative PCR and second generation sequencing.Self-contained reagents: anhydrous ethanol, isopropanol.Pre-experiment Preparation and Important NotesAdd 5 ml of 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.Repeated freezing and thawing of the sample should be avoided, as this can lead to a decrease in extraction.This kit can extract 0.1-1 ml of liquid samples.Before use, please check Buffer CL, Buffer CB for crystallization or precipitation, if there is any crystallization or precipitation, please re-dissolve Buffer CL, Buffer CB by incubation at 56℃ in a water bath.Before first use isopropyl alcohol should be added to Buffer CB according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label, mixed well, and labeled on the reagent bottle label.Before the first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer GW1 and Buffer GW2 according to the instructions on the label of the reagent bottle, mixed well, and labeled on the label of the reagent bottle.Preheat the water bath to 60°C before starting the experiment.The elution buffer Buffer EBL can be preheated to 60°C and used.Operation stepsAdd 20 µl of Proteinase K to the centrifuge tube (supplied).Add 200 µl of serum/plasma sample.Note: When the sample volume exceeds 200 µl, please increase the amount of Proteinase K, Buffer CL and Buffer CB reagents in equal proportions, and the specific amount of reagents added can be referred to the attached table.3. Add 160 µl Buffer CL, mix upside down and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds.4. Incubate at 60°C for 30 minutes, during which time mixing was inverted several times.Note: Incubation of 200µl serum/plasma samples at 60°C for 10-15 minutes is sufficient.Add 360 µl of Buffer CB (check for addition of isopropanol before use) and shake until thoroughly mixed.Ice bath for 5 minutes and centrifuge briefly to concentrate the liquid on the walls and wall caps to the bottom of the tube.Add all of the solution obtained in step 6 to the adsorption columns (Spin Columns DF) that have been loaded into the collection tubes, and if the solution cannot be added all at once, it can be transferred in several times. centrifuge the columns at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste solution from the collection tubes, and put the columns back into the collection tubes.Add 500µl of Buffer GW1 to the adsorbent column (check that anhydrous ethanol is added before use),centrifuge the column at 12,000rpm for 30 seconds, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorbent column back into the collection tube.Add 750 µl Buffer GW2 to the adsorbent column (check that anhydrous ethanol is added before use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 30 seconds, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorbent column back into the collection tube.10. Add 750 µl of anhydrous ethanol to the adsorbent column and centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 30 s. Pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube and put the adsorbent column back into the collection tube.11. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 2 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 to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column, which can interfere with the subsequent enzymatic reaction.12. Place the adsorption column in a new centrifuge tube, add 20-100 µl Buffer EBL or sterilized water to the middle part of the adsorption column overhanging the column, leave it at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, collect the DNA solution, and store the DNA at -20℃.Note: 1) If the downstream experiment is sensitive to pH, you can use sterilized water for elution. The pH value of the eluent has a great influence on the elution efficiency, if water is used as the eluent should ensure that its pH value is 7.0-8.5 (you can use NaOH to adjust the pH value of water to this range), and the elution efficiency is not high when the pH value is lower than 7.0.2) Preheat the elution buffer BufferEBL to 60℃ and use it, and incubate it at room temperature for 5 minutes before centrifugation to increase the yield.3) If the final concentration of DNA is to be increased, the resulting solution can be reintroduced into the adsorption column and left at room temperature for 2-5 minutes and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute.4) Because DNA preserved in water will be affected by acidic hydrolysis, for long-term storage, it is recommended to elute it with Buffer EBL and store it at -20℃.Table: Recommended reagent additions for different sample sizes...

Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 30 seconds, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column RM back into the collection tube.8. Add 700 to the adsorption column RM µ L Buffer RWT (check if anhydrous ethanol is added before use), centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 30 seconds, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column RM back into the collection tube.9. Add 500 to the adsorption column RM µ Buffer RW2 (check if anhydrous ethanol is added before use), centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 30 seconds, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column RM back into the collection tube.10. Repeat step 9.11. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute and discard the waste liquid from the collection tube. Place the adsorption column RM at room temperature for a few minutes to thoroughly air dry. Attention: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column RM, which can affect subsequent enzymatic reactions (such as enzyme digestion, PCR, etc.).12. Transfer the adsorption column RM into a new RNase free centrifuge tube and add 30-50 to the middle of the adsorption column µ Place RNase Free Water at room temperature for 1 minute, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, collect RNA solution, and store the obtained RNA solution at -70 ℃ to prevent degradation. Attention: 1) The volume of RNase Free Water should not be less than 30 µ l. Small volume affects the recovery rate.2) If you want to increase RNA production, you can use 30-50 µ Repeat step 12 for the new RNase Free Water.3) If you want to increase the RNA concentration, you can add the obtained solution back to the adsorption column RM and repeat step 12...
