| Description | Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are natural by-products of normal oxygen metabolism, including superoxide radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and their downstream products such as peroxides and hydroxides. Studies show that over 95% of ROS in organisms originate from mitochondria. An imbalance leading Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are natural by-products of normal oxygen metabolism, including superoxide radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and their downstream products such as peroxides and hydroxides. Studies show that over 95% of ROS in organisms originate from mitochondria. An imbalance leading to oxidative stress is associated with cell growth, proliferation, development, differentiation, aging, apoptosis, and many physiological and pathological processes. Under normal conditions, a balance exists between the intracellular antioxidant defense system and oxygen free radicals, maintaining ROS at low physiological levels. Under pathological conditions, this balance is disrupted, leading to excessive intracellular ROS levels. This can damage mitochondrial enzymes, lipids, and nucleic acids, causing oxidative stress. Additionally, ROS can attack mitochondrial DNA, causing oxidative damage that leads to structural and functional changes such as reduced mitochondrial ATP synthesis and disrupted mitochondrial membrane potential. Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Production Rate Assay Kit (Fluorometric Method) provides a simple, sensitive, and rapid method for detecting mitochondrial ROS production rate. The principle utilizes the fluorescent probe DCFH-DA for ROS detection. DCFH-DA (2',7'-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate) diffuses across the mitochondrial membrane and is hydrolyzed by esterases inside the mitochondria to form non-fluorescent DCFH. DCFH is then oxidized by ROS to generate fluorescent DCF. The rate of increase in DCF fluorescence intensity is proportional to the rate of ROS production.M1492773Component96TStorageM1492773AExtraction Buffer60 mL×22-8℃M1492773BReagentⅠ50 mL2-8℃M1492773CReagent Ⅱ1.5 mL-20℃.

Sample Preparation (Tissue/Cell Mitochondria Extraction)2.1 Weigh approximately 0.1 g of tissue or collect 5 million cells. Add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer and 10 µL of Reagent II. Homogenize on ice using a homogenizer. Centrifuge at 600 g, 4°C for 5 minutes. Collect the supernatant into a new centrifuge tube, discard the pellet.2.2 Centrifuge the supernatant again at 11,000 g, 4°C for 10 minutes. The pellet contains the extracted mitochondria.2.3 Discard the supernatant. Resuspend the pellet in 200 µL of Reagent I. Keep on ice for immediate assay.Notes:(1) Fresh samples are recommended. If not used immediately, samples can be stored at -80°C for one month.(2) Extracted mitochondrial samples must be assayed on the same day and should not be frozen.(3) For protein concentration determination, Aladdin B774074 Bradford Protein Assay Kit or B406195 Bradford Assay Solution (Ready-to-Use) [for Protein Determination] is recommended.3.

Set the fluorescence excitation wavelength to 488 nm and emission wavelength to 525 nm.3.2 Add reagents to a 96-well solid black or solid white microplate as follows:ReagentBlank Well (µL)Test Well (µL)Sample020ReagentⅠ200ReagentⅢ5050ReagentⅣ5050ReagentⅤ5050Working ReagentⅥ30303.3 Mix well. Incubate at 37°C protected from light for 15 minutes.3.4 After incubation, measure the fluorescence intensity over 10 minutes using the microplate reader (Ex/Em = 488/525 nm). Maintain the instrument temperature at 37°C. Record the fluorescence change over 10 minutes.Notes:(1) Fluorescence intensity changes must be measured at a constant 37°C over 10 minutes.(2) When mixing with a pipette, pipette gently to avoid generating bubbles.(3) Use solid black or white 96-well plates to prevent interference between adjacent wells. 4. Result Calculation 4.1 Data Processing Perform linear regression analysis on the sampled data points (fluorescence intensity vs. time) to calculate the regression coefficient, i.e., the slope (k) of the line. The actual mitochondrial ROS production rate equals the slope (k test ) from the linear regression of the sample's fluorescence intensity vs. time data points minus the slope (k blank ) from the linear regression of the background fluorescence intensity vs. time data points. k = (RFU 10min - RFU 0min ) / 600 (assuming time in seconds; 10 min = 600 s) 4.2 Activity Calculation Note: We provide both derived and simplified calculation formulas, which are equivalent. The simplified formulas in bold are recommended as the final calculation formulas. (1) Based on sample mass: (1) Based on sample mass: ROS Production Rate (RFU/s/g fresh weight) = (k test - k blank ) ÷ (V sample ÷ V total × W) = 100 × (k test - k blank ) (2) Based on sample protein concentration: ROS Production Rate (RFU/s/mg prot) = (k test - k blank ) ÷ (V sample ÷ V total × Cpr) = 10 × (k test - k blank ) ÷ Cpr (3) Based on cell count: ROS Production Rate (RFU/s/10⁴ Cells) = (k tes t - k blank ) ÷ (500 × V sample ÷ V total ) = (k test - k blank ) ÷ 50 Parameter Description: V sample : Sample volume added, 0.02 mL V total : Total resuspension volume of the sample, 0.2 mLCpr: Sample protein concentration, mg/mLW: Sample mass, 0.1 g500: Cell count, in units of 10⁴Precautions1.Biochemical reagents are generally irritating and biologically toxic.

Read More | Annexin V ( annexin-V ) is a Ca2 + dependent phospholipid binding protein with a molecular weight of 35-36 KD, which can selectively bind to phosphatidylserine ( PS ). Phosphatidylserine ( PS ) is mainly distributed in the inner side of the cell membrane, that is, the side adjacent to the cytoplasm.Annexin V ( annexin-V ) is a Ca2 + dependent phospholipid binding protein with a molecular weight of 35-36 KD, which can selectively bind to phosphatidylserine ( PS ). Phosphatidylserine ( PS ) is mainly distributed in the inner side of the cell membrane, that is, the side adjacent to the cytoplasm. In the early stage of apoptosis, different types of cells will turn phosphatidylserine out to the cell surface and expose to the extracellular environment. At this time, using Annexin V labeled with fluorescent protein PE, that is, Annexin V-PE, combined with phosphatidylserine ( PS ), the eversion of phosphatidylserine, an important feature of apoptosis, can be directly detected by flow cytometry. Normal cells will not be stained by Annexin V-PE, apoptotic or necrotic cells will be stained by Annexin V-PE. Annexin V-PE can be used in combination with partially non-permeable nuclear dye ( 7-AAD / PI ) to distinguish cells at different stages of apoptosis. RedNucleus II provided in this kit is a far-red dye that belongs to an anthraquinone compound and cannot penetrate the intact cell membrane of living cells and early apoptotic cells. It is non-permeable, but can quickly stain the nucleus / dsDNA in dead and permeable cells. RedNucleus II is an ideal substitute for propidium iodide ( PI ) and 7-AAD.Combined with Annexin V-PE, it has better spectral characteristics without compensation regulation : it is not excited by ultraviolet light and does not overlap with PE / PE homologues, so it can be combined with FITC, PE and purple fluorescent dyes for multicolor analysis. When combined with Annexin V-PE, RedNucleus II was excluded from living cells and early apoptotic cells, while late apoptotic cells and dead cells were double-positive for Annexin V-PE and RedNucleus II. Annexin V-PE / RedNucleus II apoptosis detection kit can be detected by flow cytometry or other fluorescence detection equipment.

Used to regulate voltage.Single staining tube: Positive control group cells were treated with Annexin V-PE alone/RedNucleus II alone. Used for adjusting compensation.Detection tube: Add Annexin V-PE/RedNucleus II to the processed cells. After adjusting the voltage compensation using blank tubes and single dye tubes, obtain the required flow data.2. Collect cells(1) For suspended cells:a. After inducing cell apoptosis, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, collect the cells, gently resuspend the cells in PBS, and count them.Note: PBS resuspension cannot be omitted. The process of PBS resuspension also serves to wash cells, ensuring the subsequent binding of Annexin V-PE.b. Take 5 × 104-1 × 105 resuspended cells, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and add 100 µ L of 1 × Annexin V binding buffer to gently resuspend the cells. c. Add 5 µ L Annexin V-PE and mix gently.d. Add 5 µ L of RedNucleus II staining solution and mix gently.e. Incubate at room temperature (20-25 º C) in the dark for 15 minutes. Aluminum foil can be used to avoid light. During the incubation process, cells can be resuspended 2-3 times to improve staining efficiency.(2) For adherent cells:a. Suck out the cell culture medium into a suitable centrifuge tube, wash the adherent cells with PBS once, and add an appropriate amount of trypsin cell digestion solution (without EDTA) to digest the cells. Incubate at room temperature until gently blowing can remove the trypsin cell digestion solution when the adherent cells are blown down. Overdigestion of pancreatic enzymes should be avoided.Note: For adherent cells, the trypsin digestion step is crucial. If the trypsin digestion time is too short, cells need to be blown hard to detach, which can easily cause damage to the cell membrane and lead to false positives of cell necrosis; If the digestion time is too long, it can also cause cell membrane damage and false positives of cell necrosis, and even affect the binding of phosphatidylserine and Annexin V-PE on the cell membrane, thereby interfering with the detection of cell apoptosis.b. Add the cell culture medium collected in the previous step, gently blow down the cells, transfer them to a centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, collect the cells, gently resuspend the cells in PBS and count them.Note: Adding the cell culture medium from the previous step is very important. On the one hand, it can collect cells that have already been suspended and undergone apoptosis or necrosis. On the other hand, the serum in the cell culture medium can effectively inhibit or neutralize residual trypsin. The residual trypsin will digest and degrade the subsequently added Annexin V-PE, leading to staining failure.c. Take 5 × 104-1 × 105 resuspended cells, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and add 100 µ L of 1 × Annexin V binding buffer to gently resuspend the cells. d. Add 5 µ L Annexin V-PE and mix gently.e. Add 5 µ L of RedNucleus II staining solution and mix gently.f. Incubate at room temperature (20-25 º C) in the dark for 15 minutes. Aluminum foil can be used to avoid light. During the incubation process, cells can be resuspended 2-3 times to improve staining efficiency.3. Result analysis:(1) Flow cytometry detection:a. After incubation, 400 µ L of 1 × Annexin V binding buffer can be directly added to resuspend the cells, and immediately detected on the machine. Annexin V-PE is excited by 488 nm/566 nm laser, and the fluorescence emission spectrum is detected at 578 nm (BL2 (FL2)/YL1 channel), while the RedNucleus II channel emission spectrum is approximately at 695 nm (RL1 (FL4) channel).b. On the scatter plot of the bivariate flow cytometer, live cells are shown in the lower left quadrant, which is (Annexin V-PE -/RedNucleus II -); The lower right quadrant represents early apoptotic cells, which are (Annexin V-PE+/RedNucleus II -); The upper right quadrant represents necrotic and late stage apoptotic cells, which are (Annexin V-PE+/RedNucleus II+); The upper left quadrant displays naked nuclear cells, which are (Annexin V-PE -/RedNucleus II+).(2) Fluorescence microscopy detection:a. Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, collect cells, and gently resuspend them in 400 µ L of 1 × Annexin V binding buffer. Transfer the cells to a 96 well plate and settle for a moment or perform cell smear, then observe under a fluorescence microscope.b. Annexin V-PE is compatible with PE filters. RedNucleus II can use a far red long pass filter.Matters needing attention：1. please centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube immediately before use, and then conduct subsequent experiments. 2. to reduce the process of apoptosis, the incubation process can be operated on ice, but the incubation time should be extended to at least 30 min. 3. as apoptosis is a rapid process, it is recommended that samples be analyzed within 1 h after staining. 4. for adherent cells, digestion is a key step. If there are floating cells when adherent cells induce apoptosis, the floating cells and adherent cells should be collected and stained. Handle adherent cells with care to avoid artificial damage to cells. The trypsin digestion time is too short, and the cells need to be blown hard to fall off, which is easy to cause damage to the cell membrane and excessive intake of rednucleus II; If the digestion time is too long, the cell membrane is also prone to damage, and even affect the binding of phosphatidylserine and annexin v-pe on the cell membrane. When digesting, spread pancreatin on the bottom of the well plate, fully contact the pancreatin with the cells when shaking gently, then pour out most of the pancreatin, use the remaining small amount of pancreatin to digest for a period of time, and terminate when the gap between cells increases and the bottom of the bottle is spotted. Try not to use EDTA in the digestive juice, which will affect the binding of annexin V to PS. 5. after the adherent cells are digested with trypsin, it is recommended to stain after recovering in the optimal culture conditions and medium for about 30 min to avoid false positives. 6. in order to avoid losing cells when washing cells, you can use a large tip over a small tip to aspirate. 7. the optimal concentration of dye is determined by the specific experimental requirements. 8. fluorescent dyes have quenching problems. Please try to avoid light during storage and use to slow down fluorescence quenching. 9. for your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and disposable gloves.Scope of application：Early apoptosis detection, annexin V Kit...

Product Introduction：The one-step rapid WB assay kit (rabbit) is the latest Western Blot detection kit developed by Kangwei Century, which canObtain high-quality Western Blot results within about 1 hour, with simple operation, high detection sensitivity, low background, and noAdditional secondary antibodies need to be added, with strong system stability. The conventional Western Blot indirect detection process (blocking, primary antibody binding)Combining with secondary antibodies requires a long time, a complex experimental process, and requires multi-step optimization of conditions. The protein on the glue is transferred toAfter coating the carrier membrane, incubate it with the blocking solution in the reagent kit for 5 minutes, and then incubate the carrier with the primary antibody treated with antibody reaction solutionAfter washing the membrane three times (5 minutes each time), it can undergo luminescence or color detection. This reagent kit is designed for target protein oneThe use of an experimental system derived from rabbits.Notes:1. Customers need to prepare their own rabbit source primary antibody.2. Before using Blocking Buffer blocking solution, Antibody Pretreat Solution (HRP/Rabbit) antibody reaction solution (rabbit), 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 (rabbit) needs to be determined through preliminary experiments.6. Antibody reaction solution HRP (rabbit), 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. Antibodies with low specificity and affinity are not recommended for repeated use. 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/Rabbit) 100 µ Add rabbit 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 (rabbit) 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/Rabbit), and Dilution Buffer to the membrane (ensuring that the incubation solution completely submerges the membrane surface). Incubate at room temperature on a shaker at a speed of about 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.Example 1: Antigen 293T cell lysateA: Ordinary WB control: beta actin rabbit antibody (CW0097) 3.3ug incubated at room temperature for 40 minutes, washed with membrane, secondary antibody sheep anti rabbit HRP (CW0103) diluted at 1:10000, room temperature for 40 minutes, ECL (CW0049) exposed Example 2 Antigen is 293T cell lysateC: Ordinary WB control: PAK1, Epitomics rabbit monoclonal antibody 1:1000, incubated at room temperature for 40 minutes, washed with membrane, secondary antibody sheep anti rabbit HRP (CW0103) diluted at 1:10000, room temperature for 40 minutes, ECL (CW0049) exposedD: One step WB: Epitomics rabbit monoclonal antibody was incubated at 1:1000 room temperature for 40 minutes, and ECL (CW0049) was exposed...

The kit also allows recovery of incompletely purified RNA, in vitro transcription and RNA from enzymatic reactions. high quality RNA with molecular weights greater than 200 bases can be extracted and purified using the kit with virtually no DNA residue. If RNA experiments that are very sensitive to trace DNA are to be performed, residual DNA can be removed by on-column digestion using RNase-free DNase. The extracted RNA can be used in downstream experiments such as RT-PCR, Nothern Blot and Dot Blot. Self-contained reagents: β-mercaptoethanol, anhydrous ethanol (freshly opened or for RNA extraction).Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. To prevent RNase contamination, attention should be paid to the following aspects:1) Use RNase-free plastics and tips to avoid cross-contamination.2) RNase-free water should be used to prepare the solution.(3) Operators wear disposable masks and gloves, and change gloves diligently during the experiment.2. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the extracted samples, otherwise it will affect the amount and quality of RNA extraction.3. Please add β-mercaptoethanol to Buffer RL before use, add 10µl of β-mercaptoethanol to 1ml of Buffer RL. Buffer RL with β-mercaptoethanol can be stored for 1 month at room temperature.4. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer RW2 before first use according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.5. Buffer RL may be heated at 56°C to dissolve if precipitation occurs and then left at room temperature.All centrifugation steps are performed at room temperature and all maneuvers are performed quickly.Procedure1. Sample handling1a Tissue: Grind tissue in liquid nitrogen. Add 600 µl Buffer RL for every 20-30 mg of tissue (check for addition of β-mercaptoethanol before use), and 350 µl Buffer RL for tissue samples of less than 20 mg. Sample volume is not to exceed one-tenth of the Buffer RL volume.1b Cells in monolayer culture: Lysed or processed into cell suspension directly in culture flask, centrifuged to obtain cell precipitate, discarded the supernatant, added 600µl Buffer RL for every 6-10 cm2 of culture area, 350µl Buffer RL for less than 6cm2, and blown several times repeatedly to make the cells lysed sufficiently.1c Cell suspension: centrifuge at 12,000 rpm (~13,400 × g) for 1 min and discard the supernatant to obtain the cell precipitate. Add 600 µl Buffer RL for every 5×106-1×107 cells, and 350 µl Buffer RL for less than 5×106 cells, and blow several times repeatedly to fully lysate.Note: 1) Try to get rid of the cell culture medium, which may inhibit cell lysis affecting RNA yield.2) Try to keep the cells well suspended and well lysed, otherwise RNA yield is affected.2. After the sample is fully lysed, leave it at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow complete separation of the protein-nucleic acid complex.3. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 2-5 min and remove the supernatant for the following operations.4. Add 1x volume (600µl or 350µl) of 70% ethanol (prepared without RNase water) to the solution obtained in step 3 and mix well.Note: The addition of ethanol may produce a precipitate that will not affect subsequent experiments.5. Add all of the solution obtained in the previous step to the Spin Columns RM in the collection tube. If you cannot add all of the solution to the column at once, transfer it in two passes, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, and discard the waste solution. Place the column back into the collection tube.Note: The maximum loading capacity of the adsorption column is 100µg, do not overload as this will affect the yield and purity of the RNA.6. Add 350 µl Buffer RW1 to the adsorbent column, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 min, discard the waste liquid and put the adsorbent column back into the collection tube.7. Preparation of DNase I mixture: Take 52 µl of RNase-Free Water, add 8 µl of 10×Reaction Buffer and 20 µl of DNase I (1 U/µl) to it, mix well, and prepare a final volume of 80 µl of reaction solution.8. Add 80µl of DNase I mixture directly to the adsorption column and incubate at 20-30°C for 15 minutes.9. Add 200 µl Buffer RW1 to the adsorbent column, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 min, discard the waste liquid and put the adsorbent column back into the collection tube.10. Add 500µl Buffer RW2 to the column (check that anhydrous ethanol is added before use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the column back into the collection tube.11. Repeat step 10.12. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 2 minutes and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube. Leave the adsorption column at room temperature for a few minutes to thoroughly dry the anhydrous ethanol in the adsorption column.Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column, which can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions (digestion, PCR, etc.).13. Transfer the adsorbent column into a new centrifuge tube, add 30-50 µl of RNase-Free Water to the middle of the adsorbent membrane, leave it at room temperature for 1 min, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 min, collect the RNA solution, and store the RNA at -70°C to prevent degradation.Note: 1) The volume of RNase-Free Wate should not be less than 30 µl, too small volume affects the recovery rate.2) If you want to increase the RNA yield, repeat step 13 with 30-50 µl of fresh RNase-Free Water.3) If the RNA concentration is to be increased, the resulting solution can be reintroduced into the adsorption column and step 13 repeated...
