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...

In DLR detection, the activities of firefly luciferase and Renilla luciferase can be detected in a single sample in turn. FirstProduct introduction：Dualucif The firefly & Renilla assay kit (dual luciferase reporter assay kit) provides an effective means to detect the expression of genes. In DLR detection, the activities of firefly luciferase and Renilla luciferase can be detected in a single sample in turn. First, luciferin was used as substrate to detect the activity of firefly luciferase, then substances inhibiting the catalysis of firefly luciferase were added, and coelenterazine was added to detect the activity of Renilla luciferase to achieve dual luciferase reporter gene detection. The bioluminescence system of luciferase and its substrate can detect gene expression very sensitively and efficiently. Usually, the transcriptional regulatory element or 5'promoter region of the gene of interest is cloned upstream of luciferase, or the 3'-utr region is cloned downstream of luciferase to construct a reporter gene plasmid, and then transfect the cells. After the cells are treated with appropriate drugs, the cells are lysed, and the transcriptional regulation effect of drug treatment on the target gene is judged by detecting the luciferase activity. Renilla luciferase is more often used as an internal reference for detecting transfection efficiency to eliminate the difference in cell number and transfection efficiency. Firefly luciferase is a protein with a molecular weight of about 61 kDa. In the presence of ATP, magnesium ions and oxygen, it can catalyze the production of oxyluciferin from luciferin. In the process of luciferin oxidation, it will produce a light signal. Renilla luciferase is a protein with a molecular weight of about 36 kDa. In the presence of oxygen, it can catalyze the oxidation of coelenteramide to coelenteramide, and also produce light signals in the process of coelenteramide oxidation. The optical signal of this kit can be measured by chemiluminescence instrument, microplate reader or liquid scintillation tester. The kit has the characteristics of rapid detection, high sensitivity, wide detection range and no interference of cell endogenous activity.Instruction：1.Cell lysis ( 1 ) Remove the medium and gently wash twice with PBS ( adherent cells can be operated directly, suspension cells need to be centrifuged to collect cells ). Add 1 × Lysis Buffer ( diluted component A with sterile water at 4 : 1 ) according to the following scheme, and then place the culture plate on a micro-oscillator at room temperature for 15 min to fully lyse the cells. Note : The pyrolysis products can be stored at room temperature for 6 h, and can be stored at − 70 °C for a long time ( the pyrolysis products cannot be repeatedly frozen and thawed ). ( 2 ) The pyrolysis products were centrifuged at 10000-15000 rpm for 3-5 min. After centrifugation, the supernatant was transferred into a new EP tube for subsequent detection. Note : Cells can be detected immediately after lysis, or frozen, and re-detected when needed. The frozen samples need to be thawed to room temperature for detection. 2. Preparation of working fluid ( 1 ) Restore all components to room temperature. ( 2 ) Dilute component C with component B to 0.2 mg / mL firefly luciferase working solution. Note : The firefly luciferase working solution cannot be repeatedly frozen and thawed. If the amount of a single experiment is small, it is recommended to be subpackaged into small specifications according to a single amount of use. ( 3 ) The E component was diluted into the renilla luciferase working solution with the D component, and the dilution method was 1 µL E component was added to the 49 µL D component. Note : Renilla luciferase working solution needs to be prepared now. 3.chemiluminescence value detection ( 1 ) According to the operation instructions of the instrument, the instrument with chemiluminescence detection function was opened, such as multifunctional microplate reader. The parameters were set, the determination time was 10 s, and the determination interval was 2 s. ( 2 ) each sample determination, take the sample 20-100 µL ( if the sample volume is enough, please add 100 µL ; if the sample amount is insufficient, the amount can be appropriately reduced, but the amount of detection holes needs to be consistent ). 1 × Lysis Buffer was blank control. ( 3 ) 100 µL firefly luciferase working solution was added to determine the RLU ( relative light unit ) value ( it is recommended that the microplate reader set up the Shaking mixing function ). Note : Since the luminescence is instantaneous, it is recommended to detect immediately after adding the firefly luciferase working solution. ( 4 ) 100 µL renilla luciferase working solution was added to determine the RLU ( relative light unit ) value ( Shaking mixing function is recommended for microplate reader ). ( 5 ) In the case of renilla luciferase as an internal reference, the RLU value measured by firefly luciferase was divided by the RLU value measured by renilla luciferase. According to the obtained ratio, the activation degree of the target reporter gene between different samples was compared. If firefly luciferase is used as an internal reference, similar calculations can also be performed.Component：Recommendation：It is recommended to use component B in advance to prepare 2 mg / mL storage solution, component B, component D and component C prepared as storage solution, and to carry out small batch packing according to the experimental requirements. All test working fluids are recommended to be used now to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.Matters needing attention：1. please centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube immediately before use, and then conduct subsequent experiments. 2. in order to obtain the best determination effect, when using a single tube chemiluminescence instrument for determination, the time from the mixing of sample and determination reagent to the pre determination should be controlled as much as possible; When using a multi-functional fluorescent microplate reader with chemiluminescence detection function, it is advisable to add all samples first, and then uniformly add firefly luciferase detection reagent. 3. the strongest wavelength of firefly luciferase catalyzed bioluminescence is 560 nm, and the strongest wavelength of Renilla luciferase catalyzed bioluminescence is 480 nm. 4. to prevent interference between holes, it is recommended to use white opaque orifice plate. 5. due to the influence of temperature on enzyme reaction, the sample and reagent should be measured after reaching room temperature. 6. for your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and disposable gloves.Scope of application：Study on gene expression regulation and promoter...
