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...

It is easy to operate, has high detection sensitivity, low background, does not require the addition of secondary antibodies, and has strong system stability. The conventional Western Blot indirect detection process (blocking, primary antibody binding, and secondary antibody binding) requires a long time, a complex experimental process, and requires multi-step condition optimization. After transferring the protein on the gel to the carrier membrane, incubate it with the blocking solution in the reagent kit for 5 minutes, and then incubate the carrier membrane with the primary antibody treated with antibody reaction solution. After washing three times (5 minutes each time), luminescence or colorimetric detection can be performed. This reagent kit is designed for use in experimental systems where the target protein primary antibody is derived from mice.Notes:1. The customer prepares their own mouse source primary antibody.2. Before using Blocking Buffer blocking solution, Antibody Pretreat Solution (HRP/Mouse) antibody reaction solution (mouse), and Wash Buffer (10 x) rinse solution, please mix thoroughly.3. If there is precipitation in the rinsing solution when stored at 2-8 ℃, please restore it to room temperature, dissolve the precipitation, and use it normally. The 1x rinsing solution can be stored at room temperature for one month.4. It is recommended to stain the membrane with reagents such as spring red after the transfer is completed, and cut off any excess parts on the membrane to increase the efficiency of the reagents.5. The optimal dilution amount for primary antibody and antibody reaction solution HRP (mouse) needs to be determined through preliminary experiments.6. The antibody reaction solution HRP (mouse), antibody dilution solution, and antibody dosage can be increased or decreased proportionally according to the size of the membrane.7. The antibody dilution solution containing the first antibody can be recycled and reused once. It is recommended not to reuse antibodies with poor specificity and affinity. If the recovered antibody is used within 1-2 days and stored at 2-8 ℃ for long-term storage, please freeze it at -20 ℃ to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.8. If there is a high background, please adjust the amount of antibodies and increase the number of times the film is washed.9. All reagents in the reagent kit should be stored at 2-8 ℃ to avoid freezing and thawing.Operation steps:This product is suitable for the sealing and antibody incubation steps after membrane transfer, taking a 5 cm x 8 cm membrane as an example:1. Preparation of rinsing solution: Dilute 10 ml of Wash Buffer (10 x) with distilled water to 100 ml, which is 1 x Wash Buffer. Set aside. Use 8-10 ml for each film wash.2. Sealing: After the membrane transfer is completed, immerse the membrane in 10 ml Blocking Buffer and seal at room temperature for 5 minutes.3. Rinse: Pour off the sealing solution, add 8-10 ml of 1 x Wash Buffer, and rinse at a high speed on a shaker for 1 minute.4. Prepare antibody incubation solution while washing the membrane: Take Antibody Pretreat Solution (HRP/Mouse) 100 µ Add mouse derived primary antibody 3-10 into the centrifuge tube µ g. Suck and beat the gun head until thoroughly mixed, and incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes. Add to 10 ml Dilution Buffer and mix well. Note: 1) The dosage of primary antibody can also be adjusted according to the dilution of the antibody. Taking the final dilution of antibodies at 1:1000 as an example, take 100 µ Add HRP (mouse) antibody reaction solution into the EP tube and add 10 µ Add the first antibody to 10 ml of antibody diluent, mix well, and incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes. 2) If the membrane area is small, the amount of antibodies, reaction solution, and diluent can be reduced proportionally.5. After completing step 3, pour out the rinsing solution and add the antibody incubation solution mixed with primary antibody, Antibody Pretreat Solution (HRP/Mouse), and Dilution Buffer to the membrane (ensuring that the incubation solution completely submerges the surface of the membrane). Incubate at room temperature on a shaker at around 60 rpm for 40 minutes.6. Discard (recover) the antibody incubation solution and rinse 3-5 times with the prepared 1 x Wash Buffer, each time for 3 minutes. 7. Conduct subsequent testing. It is recommended to use ECL or DAB methods for testing.Application examples:Example 1 Antigen is 293T cell lysateA: Normal WB control: beta actin mouse monoclonal antibody (CW0096) 5 µ Incubate at room temperature for 40 minutes, wash the film and dilute the secondary antibody sheep anti mouse HRP (CW0102) 1:10000.

The optimal amount of dye and the number of samples that can be treated may vary depending on theProduct introduction： The MA qPCR live bacteria detection kit provides an effective means for detecting bacterial activity. The kit provides a mixture of PMA dye and qPCR based on SYBR Green dye. The optimal amount of dye and the number of samples that can be treated may vary depending on the type of sample. PMA is a high-affinity DNA-binding dye, especially with double-stranded DNA. The dye itself has weak fluorescence, but it can emit brighter fluorescence after binding to nucleic acids. PMA is impermeable to cell membranes, so it can selectively modify the DNA of dead cells with damaged membranes. After the PMA-modified DNA is photolyzed by blue light ( ~ 464 nm ), the photoreactive azide group on the PMA is converted into a highly reactive nitrene radical, which reacts with any hydrocarbon near the DNA binding site to form a stable covalent nitrogen-carbon bond, resulting in permanent DNA modification. This modification process will make DNA insoluble and lost with cell debris during the later genomic DNA extraction process. The unbound PMA remaining in the solution reacts with water molecules under strong light irradiation to decompose into hydroxylamine compounds without cross-linking activity, so that it can no longer covalently bind to DNA. Based on this feature of PMA, PMA was combined with qPCR technology to form a new detection method, PMA-qPCR, for the screening of live bacteria. At present, the method has been verified in a variety of bacterial strains, yeast, fungi, viruses and parasites. The treatment of complex samples, such as manure or soil, may require optimization of sample dilution, dye concentration, and light treatment time. The treatment of diluted samples, such as water testing, may require filtration or concentration prior to dye treatment. Matters needing attention：1. please centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube immediately before use, and then conduct subsequent experiments. 2. the components of the kit contain fluorescent dyes. Avoid light during use and storage. 3. for your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and disposable gloves.Product parameters:Spectral characteristics :PMA: Ex = 464 nm; Ex/Em = 510/610 nm (following photolysis and reaction with DNA/RNA)Component： PMA：Ex = 464 nm; Ex/Em = 510/610 nm (following photolysis and reaction with DNA/RNA) Instruction： Precautions before use： 1.This live bacteria detection kit distinguishes dead bacteria and live bacteria according to cell membrane permeability. Many methods of killing bacteria cause damage to the cell membrane and are therefore compatible with this kit. But some methods, such as ultraviolet irradiation, may not immediately cause cell membrane rupture. Therefore, before selecting this kit, it is necessary to carry out literature search and pre-experiment to determine whether the kit is suitable for the bacterial type and killing method you choose. 2.After PMA treatment, the bacteria need to be photolyzed to covalently bind the dye to dead cell DNA. Photolysis operations can use blue or white light sources. Generally speaking, the brighter the lamp, the higher the efficiency of the photolysis step. Non-LED lamps ( such as halogen lamps ) may heat your sample and have a negative impact on the analysis. Ice is required to cool the sample during irradiation. 3.Sample can be cryopreservation after photolysis. Frozen samples before PMA treatment photolysis may damage the cell membrane and produce false negative results. If the sample needs to be frozen before detection, it is recommended to perform a pre-experiment first. 4.Part of the mechanism of PMA is to remove PMA covalently modified DNA from the sample by precipitation ; therefore, when extracting genomic DNA, it is necessary to use the same volume of genomic DNA eluent for volume normalization. The positive control can use the genomic DNA of living cells. 5.In order to verify the effectiveness of PMA in the test sample, the Ct ( dCt ) changes between- / + PMA can be compared. Experimental materials ( self-provided )：①Light source ( for the photolysis step after PMA modification of DNA ) ; ② Bacterial genomic DNA extraction kit ; ③ effective qPCR primers corresponding to the sample type Experimental procedure： 1.Suck 10 µL of E.coli bacterial solution in liquid LB medium, and culture E.coli in the bacterial incubator overnight or longer to the logarithmic growth phase ( OD600 ≈ 1.0 ) ; Note : The culture time is adjusted according to the experiment. 2.Two portions of live E.coli, 400 µL each, were placed in a clean centrifuge tube ; 3. ( Recommended ) Preparation of dead E.coli. If the dead E.coli is needed as a control, the dead E.coli can be obtained by heating the living E.coli in a water bath at 95 °C for 5 min, or at 58 °C for 3 h. the subsequent operation of the dead E. coli is the same as that of the living E. coli ; 4.Two copies of live E.coli, one without PMA treatment, and one with 25 µM PMA treatment ( the optimal PMA concentration for treating different types or different sources of bacteria needs to be consulted in the relevant literature ) ; 5.The PMA-treated samples were placed on a shaker at room temperature and incubated in the dark for 10 min to fully mix the dye with the sample ; 6.Exposure of the sample, you can use blue or white light source, irradiation time to explore their own. For example, a 60 W blue light can be used for 15 min. Note : 1 If a halogen lamp is used, we recommend that the PMA-treated sample tube be placed on an ice block 20 cm away from the light source. Ice should be placed in a transparent tray. Adjust the light source to point directly to the sample, photolysis for 5-15 min ; if the bacteria obtained from the environment are directly used for experiments, due to the complexity or turbidity of the environmental samples, the photolysis time needs to be prolonged appropriately. 7.Treated and untreated live E.coli 5000 × g, centrifuged for 10 min, remove the supernatant ; 8.Select the appropriate genomic DNA extraction kit according to the sample type, and use the same elution volume for each group of samples when elution DNA. Note : DNA extraction steps refer to the instructions of the kit used. Part of the mechanism of action of PMA is to remove PMA-bound DNA from the sample by precipitation ; therefore, when extracting genomic DNA, each group should use the same volume of genomic DNA eluent for volume normalization ( the amount of genomic DNA extracted from dead bacteria and live bacteria is inconsistent, so the concentration of the two is significantly different ). 9.Preparation of reaction mixture according to the following system : Note : 1 For the DNA extracted by commercial DNA extraction kit, the qPCR template was optimized with 2 µL as the initial volume ; 2 The template volume should not exceed 10 % of the final reaction volume ; 3 Template concentration : gDNA as template, usually 1-10 ng ; the final concentration of PCR primers is usually 0.4µM, which can get better results. When the reaction performance is poor, the primer concentration can be adjusted in the range of 0.2-1µM. 10.Slightly vortex the reaction mixture, transfer the fixed volume to the PCR tube. 11. Test procedure Note : 1 The extension time is adjusted according to the instrument ; the Taq enzyme in mix can be activated within 2 min, but the genomic DNA may require longer denaturation time, which can be increased at this time, and the specific denaturation time can be adjusted according to the sample type.12. ( Optional ) Data analysis Using live bacteria and dead bacteria as controls, the number of live cells in the sample was analyzed and calculated. It is recommended to verify the suitability of primers and PCR procedures before starting PMA qPCR detection of live bacteria. Calculation of dead and living bacteria control dCt ( 1 ) After the end of qPCR, the Ct value of each sample was calculated by instrument software ; ( 2 ) By calculating the dCt of each control bacteria, it was judged whether PMA successfully inhibited the amplification of dead bacterial DNA. The calculation is as follows : dCt live = Ct ( live, PMA treated ) -Ct ( live, PMA untreated ) dCt die = Ct ( die, PMA treated ) -Ct ( die, PMA untreated ) ( 3 ) The dCt expectation of living bacteria is close to 0 ± 1, which indicates that PMA does not affect the amplification of living cell DNA ;( 4 ) The expected value of dCt of dead bacteria is greater than 4 ( dCt is 4 means that it is reduced by about 16 times, that is, 94 % of dead bacterial DNA is removed ; a dCt of 8 indicated a decrease of about 250 times, that is, 99.6 % of the dead bacterial DNA was removed ).( 5 ) The dCt of dead bacteria depends on many factors, including : strain / cell type ; the way bacteria are killed ; the concentration of PMA used ; amplified sequence length. 13. Calculation of the proportion of viable ( optional ) bacteria If the control results of dead and live bacteria are normal, the proportion of live bacteria in the sample can be calculated.( 1 ) Calculate the dCt value of the sample : dCt sample = Ct ( sample, PMA treated ) -Ct ( sample, PMA untreated ) ( 2 ) Conversion of dCt value to live bacteria ratio : PMA inhibition multiple = 2 ( sample dCt ) Viable bacteria % = 100 / PMA inhibition multiple 14. ( Optional ) Calculate the absolute number of live bacteria If you want to calculate the absolute number of viable bacteria in the sample, you need to use a known number of target bacteria genomic DNA to make a standard curve. It is recommended that the diluted concentrations of several groups of genomes are within the range of the qPCR analysis system.( 1 ) qPCR was performed with the appropriate genome, and the Ct value was used as the ordinate, and the number of cells was used as the abscissa. The R2 value is calculated to determine the linearity, and the slope and y-axis intercept are displayed. ( 2 ) Calculate the copy number of the experimental samples : Ct = slope * cell number + y axis intercept ( y = mx + b ) Bacterial count sample = ( Ct-y axis intercept ) / slope Note : The live bacterial DNA was not lost during the purification process.
