Enzymatic methods for determining glucose are commonly used in biochemical detection, with the most frequently used being the glucose oxidase method and the hexokinase method. The characteristics of these enzymatic methods are:High sensitivity, accuracy, and precision;Use mild reaction conditions;Specific for glucose, not interfered with by other sugars and reducing substances;Simple operation;Suitable for automatic analyzers.Detection Principle: Under the catalysis of glucose oxidase, glucose is oxidized to gluconic acid, simultaneously consuming oxygen in the solution. The generated hydrogen peroxide reacts with an oxidative chromogen to form a red quinone compound. The amount of hydrogen peroxide produced in the initial reaction is proportional to the glucose concentration. Colorimetric determination is performed using a spectrophotometer at 505 nm. This kit is specifically designed for the quantitative determination of glucose content in human or animal serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, cells, tissues, and other samples. It is not suitable for direct detection of glucose in urine.*Note: Glu Standard (5 mmol/L) = 90 mg/dL.*G1501761Component200TStorageG1501761APhenol Reagent80 mLRT.

Reagent PreparationShortly before use, mix the Phenol Reagent and Enzyme Reagent in equal volumes to prepare the GOD-POD Working Solution. Store at 4°C.2. Sample Preparation2.1 Serum, Plasma, Cerebrospinal Fluid SamplesSerum or plasma separated from the test sample should not be hemolyzed. Detect directly. If the concentration exceeds the linear range (30 mmol/L), dilute with normal saline or PBS before assay.2.2 Cell Samples(1) Take an appropriate amount of cells (generally recommended >10⁶), centrifuge at 1000 g for 10 min, discard the supernatant, keep the pellet.(2) Wash 1-2 times with PBS or normal saline, centrifuge at 1000 g for 10 min, discard the supernatant, keep the pellet.(3) Add 200-300 µL of PBS or normal saline and homogenize. Ultrasonicate on ice (power 300 W, 3-5 s each time, 30 s interval, repeat 3-5 times). The prepared homogenate should not be centrifuged.*Alternatively, manually homogenize (prepared homogenate should not be centrifuged). Or lyse with 1-2% Triton X-100 on ice for 30-60 min (prepared lysate should not be centrifuged).*2.3 Tissue SamplesAccurately weigh an appropriate amount of tissue. Add normal saline or PBS at a ratio of 1:9 (mass (g) : volume (mL)). Homogenize manually or mechanically on ice. Centrifuge at 2500-3000 g for 10 min. Collect the supernatant.3. Assay SetupRefer to the table below to set up Blank, Standard, and Test tubes. Add solutions sequentially, mix well, and incubate at 37°C in a water bath or 45°C in an incubator for 15 minutes.Reagent (mL)Blank TubeStandard TubeTest TubeddH₂O0.008//Glu Standard (5 mmol/L)/0.008/Test Sample//0.008GOD-POD Working Solution0.80.80.8 4. Measurement After cooling, transfer to a 1.0 mL cuvette. Measure the absorbance at 505 nm. Zero the instrument with the Blank tube. Read the absorbances of the Standard tube and Test tube, recorded as A standard and A test, respectively. 5. Result Calculation Glu (mmol/L) = A test / A standard × 5 Glu (mg/L) = A test / A standard × 900 Reference Interval Healthy adults fasting glucose: 3.9 - 6.1 mmol/L (70 - 110 mg/dL) *Note: Glu Standard (5 mmol/L) = 90 mg/dL = 900 mg/L*Precautions1. The prepared GOD-POD Working Solution should be stored at 4°C protected from light and is valid for 1 week. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles for low-temperature reagents to prevent inactivation or decreased efficiency.2. Use serum or plasma anticoagulated with potassium oxalate-sodium fluoride (inhibits glucose decomposition) for testing. Cerebrospinal fluid can be detected directly. If test samples cannot be assayed immediately, store at 2-8°C; stable for 3 days.3. Urine glucose is often quantified using this method, but cannot be detected directly. First, perform a semi-quantitative test on the urine sample using Benedict's method. Based on the approximate content, dilute the urine with distilled water so that the glucose content is below 3 mg/mL before detection. Multiply the result by the dilution factor. This is because untreated urine contains high concentrations of reducing substances like uric acid, which affect the peroxidase reaction and may cause falsely low results.4. Low-concentration samples will also turn red over time. Therefore, detection should be performed promptly after 15 minutes; the time should not be too long.5. Without zeroing the microplate reader, the typical reference range for the blank is 0.04-0.09, and for the 5 mmol/L standard is 0.25-0.45. Reference ranges may vary due to differences in instruments and operating methods.6. The lower detection limit of this kit is 0.1 mmol/L, and the upper limit is 30 mmol/L. Visual observation: concentration ≤ 0.6 mmol/L is almost colorless; concentration ≥ 0.7 mmol/L shows light red; concentration ≥ 2.5 mmol/L shows red. Generally, results are more accurate near the upper limit than near the lower limit.7. The linear range of this method can reach 30 mmol/L. If the sample glucose concentration is too high, the result may be falsely low. Dilute with normal saline or PBS and re-assay, multiplying the result by the dilution factor.8. Use reagents promptly after opening to avoid affecting subsequent experimental results.9. For your safety and health, please wear lab coats and disposable gloves during operation.10.

The CCK-8 kit uses highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt ( called WST-8 ) to produce water-soluble WST-8 for cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays. Unlike MTT, WST-8 and WST-8 have no Cell viability and cytotoxicity assays are usually used for drug screening and compound cytotoxicity testing. The CCK-8 kit uses highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt ( called WST-8 ) to produce water-soluble WST-8 for cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays. Unlike MTT, WST-8 and WST-8 have no cytotoxicity in cell culture medium, so multiple downstream experiments can be performed using the same detection plate. CCK-8 method is a convenient colorimetric method for the determination of cell viability. It does not need the solubilization process and only needs the least steps to provide the results. The CCK-8 method can be used for the determination of 96-well microplates and high-throughput screening of 384-well microplates. Advantage：At present, the commercially available liquid CCK-8 kits generally have defects such as harsh storage conditions ( -4C or -20 ), unstable use in different pH ranges, and easy deterioration ( discoloration or precipitation ). The solid instant CCK-8 kit adopts a new formula and Swiss process, which overcomes these shortcomings of the liquid CCK-8 kit. It can be stored at room temperature for a long time ( > 3 years ), ready to use, stable in a wide pH range, and the experimental results are more reliable. Compared with the liquid CCK-8 kit, the solid-soluble CCK-8 kit has higher sensitivity and the biological response time is shortened by half.Application scope:It can be used for drug screening, cell proliferation assay, cytotoxicity assay, tumor drug sensitivity test and activity detection of biological factors. Operating instructions:This reagent kit can be used for drug screening, cell proliferation assay, cytotoxicity assay, tumor drug sensitivity assay, and activity detection of biological factors.1. Carefully and slowly tear along the gap in the packaging bag;2. Pour all the powder in the bag into a clean container containing 10mL of ultrapure water, shake continuously for 1 minute, and use it when the solid is completely dissolved;3. Unused reagents must be stored at low temperatures below 4 ℃.Equipment required for testing:Enzyme reader 96 well plate with 450-490 nm filter;Carbon dioxide incubator;96 well plate, sterilized transparent plate for cell detection;Multi channel pipette (8 or 12 channels: 10-100 µ l);Blood cell counter or cell counter.Cell viability testing:1. Inoculate cell suspension (100 µ l/well) into a 96 well plate and pre culture the plate in a carbon dioxide incubator for 24 hours (37 ℃, 5% CO2);2. Add 10 µ l of CCK-8 solution to each well (be careful not to generate bubbles in the well as it may affect the reading of OD value);3. Incubate the culture plate in the incubator for 1-4 hours;4. Measure the absorbance at 450 nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader;5. If the OD value is not determined temporarily, 10 µ l of 0.1M HCI solution or 1% w/v SDS solution can be added to each well, and the culture plate can be covered and stored in the dark at room temperature. Within 24 hours of measurement, the absorbance will not change.Cell proliferation toxicity testing:1. Inoculate cell suspension (100 µ l/well) into a 96 well plate and pre culture the plate in an incubator for 24 hours (37 ℃, 5% CO2);2. Add 10ul of different concentrations of the substance to be tested to the culture plate;3. Incubate the culture plate in the incubator for an appropriate period of time (e.g. 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours);4. Add 10 µ l of CCK-8 solution to each well (be careful not to generate bubbles in the well as they may affect the reading of the OD value);5. Incubate the culture plate in the incubator for 1-4 hours;6. Measure the absorbance at 450nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader;7. If the OD value is not determined temporarily, 10 µ l of 0.1M HCI solution or 1% w/v SDS solution can be added to each well, and the culture plate can be covered and stored in the dark at room temperature. Within 24 hours of measurement, the absorbance will not change.Calculation method for cell survival rate/inhibition rate:Cell survival rate=[As Ab)/(Ac Ab)] x 100%Inhibition rate=[(Ac As)/(Ac Ab)] x 100%As: absorbance of experimental wells (including cells, culture medium, CCK-8 solution, and drug solution);Ac: absorbance of control wells (including cells, culture medium, CCK-8 solution, without drugs);Ab: Blank well absorbance (including culture medium and CCK-8 solution, excluding cells and drugs).Points for attention： 1.Unused reagents must be stored at low temperature below 4 °C, and stored in the dark at-20 °C for two years after unpacking, so as to avoid repeated thawing ; 2.The culture time of CCK-8 is generally 1-4 hours, but the naked eye can be taken out to observe the color degree in about 30 minutes. According to the cell type, the conditions need to be explored. The best reaction time of CCK-8 is based on the best time of specific color development.3. It is recommended to do a few holes to explore the number of inoculated cells and the culture time after adding CCK-8 reagent ; 3.The WST-8 in this kit will react with reducing agents ( such as some antioxidants ) to interfere with the detection. Before the cell proliferation-toxicity test, the background OD can be checked to confirm whether there is a reducing agent in the substance to be tested. If the effect of reducing agent needs to be removed, the fresh medium can be replaced before adding CCK-8 ( remove the medium, wash the cells twice with the medium, and then add the new medium ) ; 4.Phenol red in the medium does not affect the experimental results, and the absorbance of phenol red can be eliminated by deducting the absorbance of the background in the blank hole during calculation, so it will not affect the detection. 5.It is recommended to use a multi-channel pipette to reduce the difference between parallel holes. When adding CCK-8 reagent, it is recommended to add it obliquely to the wall of the culture plate, not to insert it under the liquid surface of the medium, which is easy to produce bubbles and interfere with OD determination. 6.If the drug contains metal, it has an effect on the color of CCK-8. The final concentration of 1mM lead chloride, ferric chloride and copper sulfate will inhibit the color reaction of 5 %, 15 % and 90 %, and reduce the sensitivity. If the final concentration is 10mM, the color reaction will be 100 % inhibited ; 7.When using a 96-well plate for detection, if the cell culture time is long, attention should be paid to the evaporation problem. On the one hand, because a circle around the 96-well plate is the easiest to evaporate, the method of discarding the surrounding circle can be adopted, and the same amount of PBS, water or culture medium can be added. On the other hand, the 96-well plate can be placed near the water source in the incubator to alleviate evaporation ; 8.When using standard 96-well plates, the minimum inoculation amount of adherent cells is at least 1,000 cells / well ( 100µl medium ). The sensitivity of detecting white blood cells is relatively low, so it is recommended that the inoculation amount should not be less than 2,500 cells / well ( 100 µl medium ). If you want to use a 24-well plate or a 6-well plate experiment, first calculate the corresponding inoculation amount per well, and add the CCK-8 solution according to 10 % of the total volume of the medium per well ; 9.Cell culture time varies according to the type and number of cells ( per well ), usually the color of white blood cells is weak, requiring a longer culture time ( 4 hours ) and a large number of cells ( ~ 105 cells / well ) ; 10.CCK-8 reagent is very low toxic to cells. The continuous reaction between it and dehydrogenase in living cells makes the color of the solution deepen and the OD value increase. The following methods can terminate the CCK-8 reaction ( 96-well plate ) : a ) After the color reaction, the culture plate was placed in a refrigerator at 4 ° C ; b ) 10µL 0.1MHCL solution was added to each well ; c ) 10 µL 1 % ( w / v ) SDS ( sodium dodecyl sulfate ) solution was added to each well. After the reaction stopped, the OD value should be measured within 24 hours. 11.To determine the specific number of cells, it is recommended to do the standard curve at the same time... Read More |
