| Description | Acridine Orange (AO) is a metachromatic fluorescent dye whose emission color varies depending on the target it binds to:When binding to double-stranded DNA: It intercalates between base pairs and emits green fluorescence upon excitation (Ex 488 nm, Em 530 nm).When binding to single-stranded RNA or Acridine Orange (AO) is a metachromatic fluorescent dye whose emission color varies depending on the target it binds to:When binding to double-stranded DNA: It intercalates between base pairs and emits green fluorescence upon excitation (Ex 488 nm, Em 530 nm).When binding to single-stranded RNA or lysosomes: It attaches via electrostatic interactions and emits orange-red fluorescence (Em 640 nm).Under a fluorescence microscope, Acridine Orange permeates the membranes of normal cells, staining the nucleus with uniform green or yellow-green fluorescence. In apoptotic cells, due to chromatin condensation and fragmentation into apoptotic bodies, AO stains them with intense, condensed yellow-green fluorescence or fragmented yellow-green particles. In necrotic cells, the yellow-green fluorescence is reduced or absent.Acridine Orange is often used in combination with Propidium Iodide (PI) for dual staining. Since PI stains only dead cells, producing orange-red fluorescence, this method allows differentiation among normal, apoptotic, and necrotic cells.ComponentsA1456513Component50 Test100 TestStorage ConditionQuantity Per TestA1456513ADilution Buffer10 mL50 mL2-8℃0.1 mL per 0.5-1.0 × 10⁶ cellsA1456513BAO Staining Solution100 µL500 µL2-8℃, Protect from light.

Mix the AO Staining Solution with the Dilution Buffer at a ratio of 1:1000 to prepare the working solution. For example, add 10 µL of AO Staining Solution to 10 mL of Dilution Buffer to obtain 10 mL of Acridine Orange staining solution. 2. Staining with Acridine Orangea. For adherent cells: (a) Gently aspirate the culture medium from the plate. Rinse with PBS for about 10 seconds, then remove PBS. (b) Add Acridine Orange staining solution and incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes. Remove the staining solution and rinse with PBS for about 10 seconds. Repeat the rinse once. Note: For adherent cells cultured in a 6-well plate with a confluence exceeding 80%, it is recommended to add the staining working solution at a volume of 1 mL per well. This volume can be optimized based on the specific experimental system.(c) Incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes. (c) Add an appropriate amount of cell culture medium, staining buffer, or other suitable solution to cover the well bottom. Observe under a microscope. Depending on the detection requirements, green fluorescence can be observed at Ex/Em = 488/530 nm, and red fluorescence can be observed at Ex/Em = 540/640 nm. Alternatively, measure fluorescence intensity using a fluorescence microplate reader with bottom-reading capability.b. For suspension cells: (a) Take 1 mL of cell suspension. Centrifuge at 500g for 5 minutes at room temperature. Gently aspirate the medium, resuspend in PBS, and centrifuge again at 500g for 5 minutes. Remove PBS. (b) Add an appropriate amount of Acridine Orange staining solution to achieve a cell density of approximately 10⁶ cells/mL.(c) Incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes. (d) A drop of the sample was directly applied onto a glass slide, covered with a coverslip, and examined under a microscope. Depending on the detection requirements, green fluorescence can be observed at Ex/Em = 488/530 nm, and red fluorescence can be observed at Ex/Em = 540/640 nm. Alternatively, after staining, analyze directly by flow cytometry or measure fluorescence with a microplate reader.Note: Centrifugation to remove staining solution can reduce background fluorescence. For suspension cells or adherent cells in suspension, consider reducing the AO staining solution concentration by 2–5 times and shortening the staining time to 2 minutes.Precautions1. AO Staining Solution is toxic. Handle with care. 2. For your safety and health, wear a lab coat and disposable gloves. 3. Fluorescent dyes are susceptible to quenching. It is recommended to complete detection on the same day after staining...

For different types of cells, whether it is applicable or not needs to be determined after testing. Cell Cycle Product introduction：Product introduction：Cell Cycle Assay Kit Plus ( Cell Cycle Assay Kit Plus ) has certain applicability for live cells and fixed cell cycle detection. For different types of cells, whether it is applicable or not needs to be determined after testing. Cell Cycle Assay Kit Plus ( Cell Cycle Assay Kit Plus ) uses RedNucleus I staining to detect cell cycle. RedNucleus I is a far-infrared nucleic acid dye with cell membrane permeability, which can quickly enter living cells, specifically bind to DNA, and perform cell cycle detection on living cells without RNase digestion. Compared with the traditional PI staining method, the cells do not need to be broken or fixed, and the operation is simpler. RedNucleus I is a fluorescent dye of double-stranded DNA, and the fluorescence intensity after binding to double-stranded DNA is proportional to the content of double-stranded DNA. The intracellular DNA content can be measured by flow cytometry, and then the cell cycle analysis can be carried out according to the distribution of DNA content. After RedNucleus I staining, assuming that the fluorescence intensity of G0 / G1 phase cells is 1, the theoretical value of the fluorescence intensity of G2 / M phase cells containing two copies of genomic DNA is 2, and the fluorescence intensity of S phase cells undergoing DNA replication is between 1-2. In addition, RedNucleus I is compatible with dyes such as Horizon BV / BUV, FITC and R-PE, and can be periodically detected after sample staining.The kit is usually used to detect the cell cycle of cultured adherent or suspended cells. If it is used for cell cycle detection of tissues, the tissues must be digested into a single cell state.Matters needing attention：1. please centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube immediately before use, and then conduct subsequent experiments. 2. this product is applicable to the detection of living cells and fixed cell cycle with certain limitations. Whether it is applicable to different types of cells needs to be determined after testing. If fixation is needed, it is recommended to use ice bath pre cooling 75-80% ethanol -20 ℃ to fix cells overnight. 3. fluorescent dyes have quenching problems. Please try to avoid light during storage and use to slow down fluorescence quenching. 4. for your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and disposable gloves.Instruction： Experimental materials ( self-provided )：①cell lines or other cell samples ( self-prepared ) ；②This kit ; ③ trypsin ( self-prepared ) ;④ Cell culture medium containing FBS ( self-prepared ) ; Experimental procedure： 1.Preparation of cell samples : ( 1 ) ( This step is for adherent cells, if suspended cells, can be carried out directly step ( 2 ) ) Digest cells with trypsin, add cell culture medium, gently blow away cells, collected into the centrifuge tube.

The kit eliminates the need for phenol/chloroform extraction and is safe to handle. The extracted genomic DNA fragments are large, high purity, stable and reliable quality, suitable for PCR, fluorescence quantitative PCR, molecular labeling, library construction and other experiments.Self-contained reagent: anhydrous ethanolPre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. Repeated freezing and thawing of the sample should be avoided, as this may result in smaller fragments of extracted DNA and a decrease in the amount extracted.2. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer LP3 and Buffer GW2 according to the instructions on the label of the reagent bottle before first use. Check Buffer LP1 and Buffer LP2 for crystallization or precipitation before use. If crystallization or precipitation occurs, re-dissolve Buffer LP1 and Buffer LP2 in a 56°C water bath. Procedure1. Take about 100mg of fresh plant tissue or about 20mg of dry weight tissue and add liquid nitrogen to grind it fully.2. Collect the ground powder into a centrifuge tube (self-provided), add 400 µl Buffer LP1 and 6 µl RNase A (10 mg/ml), vortex and oscillate for 1 minute, and leave it at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow for full cleavage.Note: 1) Use vortex shaking or pipette blowing to fully lyses the tissue, incomplete tissue lysis will affect the final DNA yield. 2) Do not mix Buffer LP1 with RNase A prior to use.3. Add 130 µl Buffer LP2, mix well and vortex for 1 minute.4. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm (~13,400 x g) for 5 minutes and transfer the supernatant to a new centrifuge tube (supplied).5. Add 1.5 times the volume of Buffer LP3 (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use) and mix thoroughly (e.g., 500 µl filtrate to 750 µl Buffer LP3).Note: Buffer LP3 should be mixed immediately after addition; precipitation may occur but will not affect subsequent experiments.6. Add all of the solution and precipitate obtained in the previous step to the adsorption columns (Spin Columns DM) that have been loaded into the collection tubes, 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 liquid in the collection tubes, and put the columns back into the collection tubes.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: If the adsorbent membrane appears green, add 500 µl of anhydrous ethanol to the adsorbent column, centrifuge the column at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorbent column back into the collection tube.8. Repeat step 7.9. 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 subsequent enzymatic reactions (digestion, PCR, etc.).10. Place the adsorption column in a new centrifuge tube (supplied), add 50-100 µl of Buffer GE or sterilized water dropwise to the middle of the adsorbent membrane, leave it at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, and centrifuge it at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute to collect the DNA solution. -The DNA solution was collected by centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 1 min.Note: 1) If the downstream experiment is sensitive to pH or EDTA, you can use sterilized water for elution. The pH value of the eluent has a great influence on the elution efficiency, if you use water as the eluent, you should ensure that the pH value is 7.0-8.5 (you can use NaOH to adjust the pH value of the water to this range), and when the pH value is lower than 7.0, the elution efficiency is not high.2) Incubation at room temperature for 5 minutes prior to centrifugation increases yield.(3) If the final concentration of DNA is to be increased, the DNA eluate obtained in step 10 can be re-added to the adsorbent membrane and repeat step 10; if the elution volume is less than 100µl, the final concentration of DNA can be increased, but it may reduce the total DNA yield. If the amount of DNA obtained is less than 1µg, 50µl Buffer GE is recommended for elution.4) Because DNA stored in water is subject to acidic hydrolysis, for long-term storage, elution with Buffer GE and storage at -20°C are recommended...
