Tissue Samples: Weigh approximately 0.1 g of tissue, add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer, and homogenize on ice. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm, 4°C for 10 minutes. Collect the supernatant and keep it on ice for assay.Note: If increasing the sample amount, use a ratio of 1:5 to 1:10 (tissue weight (g) : Extraction Buffer volume (mL)) for extraction.2. Bacterial/Cell Samples: Collect bacteria or cells into a centrifuge tube by centrifugation and discard the supernatant. Take 5 million bacteria or cells, add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer, and disrupt using ultrasound on ice (power 20% or 200 W, ultrasonicate for 3 s, interval 10 s, repeat 30 times). Centrifuge at 12000 rpm, 4°C for 10 minutes. Collect the supernatant and keep it on ice for assay.*Note: If increasing the sample amount, use a ratio of 1:1000~5000 (bacteria/cell count (x10⁴) : Extraction Buffer volume (mL)) for extraction.*3. Liquid Samples: Detect directly. If the sample is turbid, centrifuge and use the supernatant for detection.Assay Procedure1. Preheat the microplate reader for at least 30 minutes. Set the wavelength to 340 nm.2. Thaw all reagents to room temperature (25°C).3. In a well of the 96-well plate, add sequentially:Reagent (µL)Test WellSample20Reagent 210Reagent 310Reagent 4150Mix well and incubate at 37°C for 5 minutes. 4. Add:Reagent (µL)Test WellReagent 5105. Mix well. Immediately read the absorbance at 340 nm (A1) and then read again after incubating at 37°C for 20 minutes (A2). Calculate ΔA = A2 - A1.Notes:1. If ΔA is close to zero, the reaction time can be appropriately extended to 30 minutes or longer before reading A2; or the sample volume V1 can be increased appropriately (with a corresponding decrease in Reagent 4 volume). The modified reaction time (T) and sample volume (V1) must be substituted into the calculation formula.2. If the initial absorbance A1 is too high (e.g., >2, as in deeply pigmented plant leaves), appropriately reduce the sample volume V1. The modified V1 must be substituted into the calculation formula. Alternatively, add a small amount of activated carbon to the sample, mix, let stand for 5 min, then centrifuge at 12000 rpm, 4°C for 10 min, and use the supernatant for detection.3. If the increasing trend is unstable, read the absorbance every 10 seconds and select a linear increasing period for calculation. The corresponding ΔA value should be substituted into the calculation formula.FK Activity Calculation1.

Then add the prepared standards and diluted samples into the corresponding reaction wells, the amount of addition is 4µL/well. TE was added to the blank control tube, and the same amount was added at 4 µL/well.It is recommended to use 20 µL for the reaction, if you need to perform a smaller system reaction, reduce the system components in equal proportion.4. qPCR reaction programThe PCR mix of this kit contains a FAM fluorescent probe for the target gene and a VIC fluorescent probe with internal reference to Internal PCR Control (IPC). qPCR program with dual fluorescence of hydrolyzed probes needs to be selected for the assay. Please follow the instructions of the instrument used to set up the qPCR program, and the PCR temperature conditions are as follows:1. Standard curve productionThe standard curve was plotted with reference to the Excel sheet for data processing. The correlation coefficient R2 of the standard curve should be not less than 0.98, and the slope should be located between -3.1 and -3.6 when the Ct value is used as the longitudinal coordinate. If the parameters of the standard curve are unreasonable, it is recommended to repeat the experiment.DNA Standard NameDNA Standard Concentration（ng/µL）DNA Standard 110DNA Standard 22.5DNA Standard 30.625DNA Standard 40.15625DNA Standard 50.03906252. Analysis of results and calculation of concentrationsThe Ct difference between experimental replicate wells for FAM signaling of the target gene should be no more than 0.3, otherwise invalid data need to be deleted or the experiment needs to be repeated, do not use Ct outside the valid Ct range of the standard curve to calculate the concentration of the sample.For specific calculations, please refer to the data processing Excel for this product.If the FAM signal is abnormal, the VIC signal of the internal reference Internal PCR Control (IPC) needs to be analyzed to confirm whether the PCR reaction process is abnormal. If the Ct value of the sample null VIC is significantly larger than that of the standard or blank control wells, it means that the sample inhibits the PCR reaction.matters needing attention1.
