| Description | ATP is the most fundamental energy currency in living organisms, and its concentration directly affects the energy metabolism of various organs. As the most important energy molecule, ATP plays a critical role in diverse physiological and pathological processes. Changes in ATP levels can ATP is the most fundamental energy currency in living organisms, and its concentration directly affects the energy metabolism of various organs. As the most important energy molecule, ATP plays a critical role in diverse physiological and pathological processes. Changes in ATP levels can impact numerous cellular functions. Typically, ATP levels decrease during apoptosis, necrosis, or under certain toxic conditions, while high glucose stimulation can upregulate intracellular ATP levels in some cells. A decrease in ATP levels often indicates impaired or declining mitochondrial function. During apoptosis, the drop in ATP levels usually occurs simultaneously with a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. The ATP Assay Kit can be used to detect ATP levels in common solutions, cells, or tissues. This kit is developed based on the principle that firefly luciferase requires ATP to provide energy for catalyzing the production of light from luciferin. When both firefly luciferase and luciferin are in excess, the light produced is proportional to the ATP concentration within a certain range. This allows for highly sensitive detection of ATP concentration in solutions.E1501756Component200TStorageE1501756AATP Detection Reagent25 mL-20℃.

High Sensitivity: Provides excellent detection results within the range of 0.1 nM to 100 µM.2. High Stability: ATP measurement results from prepared samples decrease by no more than 10% within 30 minutes.3. Good Compatibility of Prepared Samples: Cell or tissue samples lysed using the ATP Assay Lysis Buffer provided in this kit can not only be used for ATP detection but also for protein concentration assays, SDS-PAGE, or Western blotting for some commonly soluble proteins.4. Convenient and Fast: Typically, 10-20 samples can be assayed within 30-60 minutes.5. Simple Sample Preparation: Samples do not require perchloric acid or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) extraction. The specialized lysis buffer provided allows samples to be used for ATP detection after simple lysis.Experimental Procedure1. Sample PreparationNote: Sample lysis should be performed at 4°C or on ice.1.1 For Adherent CellsRemove the culture medium. Add Lysis Buffer according to the proportion of 200 µL per well of a 6-well plate (i.e., 1/10 of the 2 mL culture medium volume) to lyse the cells. For complete lysis, pipette up and down repeatedly or shake the plate to ensure the lysis buffer fully contacts and lyses the cells. Cells typically lyse immediately upon contact with the buffer. Centrifuge the lysate at 10,000 rpm, 4°C for 5 minutes. Collect the supernatant for subsequent assay.1.2 For Suspension CellsCentrifuge to pellet the cells, discard the supernatant, and gently resuspend the pellet. Add Lysis Buffer according to the proportion of 200 µL per the cell amount from one well of a 6-well plate. For complete lysis, tap the tube bottom or vortex appropriately to ensure the lysis buffer fully contacts and lyses the cells. Cells typically lyse immediately. Centrifuge the lysate at 10,000 rpm, 4°C for 5 minutes. Collect the supernatant for subsequent assay.1.3 For Tissue SamplesAdd Lysis Buffer in a ratio of approximately 100-200 µL per 20 mg of tissue. Homogenize using a glass homogenizer or other homogenization equipment. Thorough homogenization ensures complete tissue lysis. Centrifuge the lysate at 10,000 rpm, 4°C for 5 minutes. Collect the supernatant for subsequent assay.2. Standard Curve PreparationThaw the required reagents on ice. Dilute the ATP Standard Solution with ATP Assay Lysis Buffer to create appropriate concentration gradients. The specific concentrations should be determined based on the expected ATP concentration in the samples. For initial detection, concentrations of 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, and 10 µM can be tested. In subsequent experiments, adjust the standard concentration range appropriately based on sample ATP levels.TubeLysis Buffer Volume (µL)ATP Standard Solution VolumeFinal Concentration (µM)A982 µL from stock (0.5 mM)10B7030 µL from Tube A3C9010 µL from Tube A1D9010 µL from Tube B0.3E9010 µL from Tube C0.1F9010 µL from Tube D0.03G9010 µL from Tube E0.013. ATP Concentration Measurement3.1 Add 100 µL of ATP Detection Reagent to each assay well. Incubate at room temperature for 3-5 minutes.3.2 Add 10 µL of sample or the diluted ATP standard solution to the assay well.3.3 Measure the Relative Light Unit (RLU) value using a luminometer.Note: The sample volume can be adjusted within the range of 10-100 µL. If the ATP concentration in the sample is low, 100 µL can be added. If the ATP concentration is high, a smaller volume can be used, but the same volume must be used for the standard curve samples. If the ATP concentration is exceptionally high, dilute the sample with ATP Assay Lysis Buffer before measurement.Precautions1. The Detection Reagent contains luciferase. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles will lead to gradual inactivation. For optimal performance, consider aliquoting after the first thaw, ensuring the aliquot containers are free from ATP contamination.2. Luciferase activity is temperature-sensitive. Before the reaction, equilibrate both cells and the ATP Detection Reagent to room temperature for measurement. Do not store at room temperature for extended periods.3. ATP, especially in lysed samples, is unstable at room temperature. Perform operations at 4°C or on ice.4. Use white or black 96-well or 384-well plates suitable for cell culture for detection. Using standard transparent plates may cause interference between adjacent wells.5. The provided ATP Assay Lysis Buffer effectively lyses and releases ATP from common cultured cells and tissues. For special tissues or samples where detected ATP levels are significantly lower than expected, boil a portion of the lysate for 2 minutes before centrifugation to fully release ATP. Boiling will denature proteins, which will precipitate during subsequent centrifugation; therefore, boiled samples cannot be used for protein concentration assays, SDS-PAGE, or Western blotting. Use the remaining portion of the sample for protein assays, SDS-PAGE, and Western blotting.6. For your safety and health, wear a lab coat and disposable gloves during operation...

Through a rapid and simple three-step process of binding, washing, and elution, 100 bp-10 kb DNA fragments can be purified and recovered from PCR products or enzyme reaction solutions (enzyme cutting, linking, probe labeling, etc.). Each adsorption column can adsorb up to 10 kb of DNA fragments µ G DNA, while minimizing impurities such as primers, oligonucleotides, enzymes, etc. The purified and recovered DNA has high purity and concentration, good integrity, and high recovery rate, and can be directly used for molecular biology experiments such as sequencing, linking and transformation, labeling, and in vitro transcription.Self prepared reagent: anhydrous ethanol.Preparation and important precautions before the experiment:1. All components can be stably stored in a dry, room temperature (15-30 ℃) environment for 1 year, and can be stored at 2-8 ℃ for longer periods of time. When the solution is stored at low temperature, it should be left at room temperature for a period of time before use, and then restored to room temperature before use.2. This reagent kit can selectively recover all DNA fragments from the solution. If you need to selectively recover specific fragments while removing other fragments of different sizes, please choose our company's gel recovery reagent kit.3.Before the first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to the Buffer PW according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.4. Before use, please check if there is any crystallization or precipitation in the Buffer PB. If there is any crystallization or precipitation, you can take a water bath at 37 ℃ for a few minutes to restore clarity.5. The recovery efficiency is related to the initial amount of DNA and the elution volume. The smaller the initial amount, the smaller the elution volume, and the lower the recovery rate.6. All centrifugation steps can be performed at room temperature.Operation steps:1. Estimate the volume of DNA reaction solution, add 5 times the volume of Buffer PB, and mix thoroughly (without removing paraffin or mineral oil).Note: 1) If the DNA reaction system is 50 µ l (excluding paraffin oil volume), add 250 µ l Buffer PB.2) After adding Buffer PB, check the pH value of the solution. If the pH value is greater than 7.5, add 10-30 to it µ 3 M sodium acetate (pH 5.0) was used to adjust the pH value to 5-7.2. Column balance: Add 200 to the spin columns DM that have been loaded into the collection tube µ Centrifuge at 13000 rpm (~16200 × g) for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.3. Add the solution obtained in step 1 to the adsorption column that has been loaded into the collection tube, let it stand at room temperature for 1 minute, centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 30-60 seconds, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column in the collection tube.Attention: The volume of the adsorption column is 750 µ l. If the sample volume is greater than 750 µ l, it can be added in batches.4. Add 500 µ l of Buffer PW to the adsorption column (please check if anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 30-60 seconds, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column in the recovery tube.Note: If purified DNA is used for salt sensitivity experiments (such as flat end ligation experiments or direct sequencing), it is recommended to add Buffer PW and let it stand for 2-5 minutes before centrifugation.5.13000 rpm for 1 minute 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.). To ensure that downstream experiments are not affected by residual ethanol, it is recommended to open the cover of the adsorption column and place it at room temperature for a few minutes to thoroughly dry the residual ethanol in the adsorbent material at the bottom.6. Place the adsorption column into a new centrifuge tube (provided by oneself), add 30-50 µ l Buffer EB to the middle position of the adsorption membrane by hanging droplets, and let it stand at room temperature for 1 minute. Centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 1 minute and collect DNA solution- Store DNA at 20 ℃.Attention:1) 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 (the pH value of water can be adjusted to this range using NaOH).2) To improve the recovery of DNA, the solution obtained by centrifugation can be added back to the adsorption column, left at room temperature for 2 minutes, and centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 1 minute.3) The elution volume should not be less than 30 µ l. A small volume will affect the recovery efficiency...
