Hydroxyl radicals act on biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids within the body, damaging cellular structure and function, which can lead to metabolic disorders and disease. The hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity is a key indicator of antioxidant ability and is widely used in research on antioxidant health products and pharmaceuticals.Detection Principle: H₂O₂/Fe²⁺ generates hydroxyl radicals via the Fenton reaction. Salicylic acid effectively captures these generated hydroxyl radicals and reacts with them to produce a purple compound, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid. When a substance capable of scavenging hydroxyl radicals is added, it inhibits the formation of this purple product. Therefore, a darker color indicates a higher hydroxyl radical content, and vice versa. The change in absorbance at 520 nm is measured to calculate the sample's hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity.Applicable Samples: Animal and plant tissues, serum (plasma), cells, bacteria, cell culture supernatants, fruit juice, honey, urine, and other samples.P1501782Component48 T96 TStorageP1501782AFerrous Salt10 mL20 mL2-8℃.

Based on the lysis of cells by alkaline lysis method, it adopts a unique silica matrix membrane adsorption technology and reagent formulation, and efficiently and exclusively binds plasmid DNA in solution by centrifugal adsorption columns in a high-salt state, and each adsorption column can adsorb a maximum of 30 µg of plasmid DNA, and removes proteins, genomes, RNAs, and other impurities to the greatest extent possible. The plasmid DNA obtained can be directly used for cell transfection, PCR, digestion, sequencing, ligation and other biological experiments.Self-contained reagent: anhydrous ethanol.Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. All components can be stably stored in dry, room temperature (15-30℃) environment for 1 year, the adsorption column can be stored at 2-8℃ for a longer period of time, and Buffer P1 with RNase A can be stably stored at 2-8℃ for 6 months.2. Before the first use, add all the RNase A solution into Buffer P1, mix well, and store it at 2-8°C. Before use, leave it at room temperature for a period of time, and then use it after recovering to room temperature.3. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer PW according to the instructions on the label of the reagent bottle before first use.4. If precipitation is found in Buffer P2, Buffer N3, or Buffer PB before use, the clarification can be restored by water bath at 37℃ for a few minutes (please do not shake Buffer P2 violently).5. Be careful not to touch Buffer P2, Buffer N3 and Buffer PB directly, and tighten the lid immediately after use.6. The amount and purity of extracted plasmid is related to the concentration of bacterial culture, strain type, plasmid size, plasmid copy number and other factors.Procedure1. Take 1-5 ml of the overnight culture and add it to a centrifuge tube (self-prepared), centrifuge for 30 seconds at 13,000 rpm (~16,200×g) to collect the bacterial precipitate, and discard the supernatant as much as possible.2. Add 250 µl of Buffer P1 to the centrifuge tube with the bacterial precipitate (please check that RNase A has been added first), mix well using a pipette or vortex shaker, and suspend the bacterial precipitate.Note: If the bacterial mass is not thoroughly mixed, it will affect the lysis effect, resulting in low extraction and purity.3. Add 250µl of Buffer P2 to the centrifuge tube and mix gently up and down 4-6 times, mixing well to lyse the organisms, at which point the solution should become clear and viscous.Note: Mix gently, do not shake vigorously to avoid interrupting the genomic DNA and causing the extracted plasmid to be mixed with genomic DNA fragments. This step should take no more than 5 minutes to avoid damage to the plasmid.4. Add 350 µl of Buffer N3 to the centrifuge tube and immediately mix gently up and down for 8-10 times, mixing well so that a white flocculent precipitate should appear. centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 5 minutes.Note: Buffer N3 should be mixed immediately after addition to avoid localized precipitation.5. Transfer the supernatant obtained in step 4 to the Spin Columns DM that have been loaded into the collection tube, centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 30 seconds, pour off the waste liquid from the collection tube, and place the column back into the collection tube.6. Add 150 µl Buffer PB to the adsorption column and centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 30 seconds.7. Add 400 µl Buffer PW to the adsorption column (please check that anhydrous ethanol has been added first), centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 1 minute, and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube.8. Place the adsorbent column in a new centrifuge tube (supplied), add 50-100 µl Buffer EB to the middle of the adsorbent membrane, leave it at room temperature for 2 minutes, centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 1 minute, and collect the plasmid solution into the centrifuge tube. -The plasmid solution was collected into the centrifuge tube.Note: 1) To increase the recovery efficiency of the plasmid, the resulting solution can be reintroduced into the adsorbent column, left at room temperature for 2 minutes, centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 1 minute, and the plasmid solution collected into a centrifuge tube.2) For low plasmid copy number or >10 kb, Buffer EB is preheated at 65-70°C in a water bath to increase extraction efficiency...
