| Description | The Hoechst33258/PI Apoptosis Assay Kit is a detection kit that uses a dual fluorescence staining method with Hoechst 33258 and Propidium Iodide (PI) to analyze cell cycle and cell necrosis. While PI staining alone can observe the sub-G1 peak of apoptotic cells on the DNA histogram, it can only The Hoechst33258/PI Apoptosis Assay Kit is a detection kit that uses a dual fluorescence staining method with Hoechst 33258 and Propidium Iodide (PI) to analyze cell cycle and cell necrosis. While PI staining alone can observe the sub-G1 peak of apoptotic cells on the DNA histogram, it can only represent apoptosis in the G0/G1 phase and cannot observe apoptosis in the S and G2 phases. Moreover, after fixation, it is impossible to distinguish between live and dead cells. Hoechst 33258 can penetrate the cell membrane and bind to DNA in both normal and apoptotic cells, showing blue fluorescence under ultraviolet light. After staining, the fluorescence of apoptotic cells is significantly enhanced compared to normal cells. PI cannot penetrate the cell membrane and cannot stain normal or apoptotic cells with intact cell membranes. However, for necrotic cells, where the integrity of the cell membrane is lost, PI can penetrate the cell membrane and color the necrotic cells to produce red fluorescence. When these two dyes are used for double staining, normal cells appear weak blue, apoptotic cells appear bright blue, and necrotic cells appear bright blue and red.ComponentH1492197Component100TStorageQuantity Per TestH1492197AHoechst 33258 Staining Solution1 mL-20℃, Store in the dark.10 µL per 0.5-1.0x10⁶ H1492197BPropidium iodide Staining Solution (PI)0.5 mL-20℃, Store in the dark.5 µL per 0.5-1.0x10⁶ Note: The recommended number of cells to stain per test 0.5–1.0×10⁶ cells.Usage method:1.

The most accurate method to detect cell proliferation is the BrdU method. Edu detection kit is a revolutionary breakthrough of BrdU method. Edu (5-Cell proliferation detection is a basic experimental method to evaluate the health of cells, genotoxicity and the effect of antitumor drugs. The most accurate method to detect cell proliferation is the BrdU method. Edu detection kit is a revolutionary breakthrough of BrdU method. Edu (5-ethynyl-2 '- deoxyuridine) is a pyrimidine analog that integrates into the DNA duplex during DNA synthesis. Edu detection is based on the "click" reaction. A copper catalyzed azide reacts covalently with alkynes to form covalent bonds. In this kit, edu contains alkynes, Aladdin ® 488 / 555/594/647a azide dyes contain azide compounds. The edu labeling proliferation of click method is rapid and effective, and easy to use. BrdU method requires DNA denaturation (such as acid denaturation, thermal denaturation or digestion with DNase) to expose BrdU, so as to facilitate BrdU antibody binding; The edu method only needs paraformaldehyde fixation and Triton X-100 penetration to make the detection reagent enter the cells, and only a small amount of azide dye is needed to label the integrated edu very effectively. This kit contains all components required for edu method detection, and can be used for proliferation detection of cultured cells in vitro.Component:Product parameters：555/565 nm；Instruction： Experimental materials (self provided). 10 mM PBS, pH 7.2-7.6. 4% paraformaldehyde fixing solution (in PBS)Propensive reagent (0.5% Triton X -100 in PBS). 2 mg/mL glycine solution (in ddH2O). 3% BSA in PBS, pH 7.2-7.6. 1% BSA in PBS, pH 7.2-7.6. ddH2O. 96/24/12/6 well culture plate or dishFluorescence microscopy detection method1.

The kit eliminates the need for phenol/chloroform extraction and is safe to handle. The extracted genomic DNA fragments are large, high purity, stable and reliable quality, suitable for PCR, fluorescence quantitative PCR, molecular labeling, library construction and other experiments.Self-contained reagent: anhydrous ethanolPre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. Repeated freezing and thawing of the sample should be avoided, as this may result in smaller fragments of extracted DNA and a decrease in the amount extracted.2. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer LP3 and Buffer GW2 according to the instructions on the label of the reagent bottle before first use. Check Buffer LP1 and Buffer LP2 for crystallization or precipitation before use. If crystallization or precipitation occurs, re-dissolve Buffer LP1 and Buffer LP2 in a 56°C water bath. Procedure1. Take about 100mg of fresh plant tissue or about 20mg of dry weight tissue and add liquid nitrogen to grind it fully.2. Collect the ground powder into a centrifuge tube (self-provided), add 400 µl Buffer LP1 and 6 µl RNase A (10 mg/ml), vortex and oscillate for 1 minute, and leave it at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow for full cleavage.Note: 1) Use vortex shaking or pipette blowing to fully lyses the tissue, incomplete tissue lysis will affect the final DNA yield. 2) Do not mix Buffer LP1 with RNase A prior to use.3. Add 130 µl Buffer LP2, mix well and vortex for 1 minute.4. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm (~13,400 x g) for 5 minutes and transfer the supernatant to a new centrifuge tube (supplied).5. Add 1.5 times the volume of Buffer LP3 (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use) and mix thoroughly (e.g., 500 µl filtrate to 750 µl Buffer LP3).Note: Buffer LP3 should be mixed immediately after addition; precipitation may occur but will not affect subsequent experiments.6. Add all of the solution and precipitate obtained in the previous step to the adsorption columns (Spin Columns DM) that have been loaded into the collection tubes, if the solution cannot be added all at once, it can be transferred in several times. centrifuge the columns at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tubes, and put the columns back into the collection tubes.7. Add 500 µl of Buffer GW2 to the adsorption column (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Note: If the adsorbent membrane appears green, add 500 µl of anhydrous ethanol to the adsorbent column, centrifuge the column at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorbent column back into the collection tube.8. Repeat step 7.9. 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 several minutes to dry thoroughly.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.).10. Place the adsorption column in a new centrifuge tube (supplied), add 50-100 µl of Buffer GE or sterilized water dropwise to the middle of the adsorbent membrane, leave it at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, and centrifuge it at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute to collect the DNA solution. -The DNA solution was collected by centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 1 min.Note: 1) If the downstream experiment is sensitive to pH or EDTA, you can use sterilized water for elution. The pH value of the eluent has a great influence on the elution efficiency, if you use water as the eluent, you should ensure that the pH value is 7.0-8.5 (you can use NaOH to adjust the pH value of the water to this range), and when the pH value is lower than 7.0, the elution efficiency is not high.2) Incubation at room temperature for 5 minutes prior to centrifugation increases yield.(3) If the final concentration of DNA is to be increased, the DNA eluate obtained in step 10 can be re-added to the adsorbent membrane and repeat step 10; if the elution volume is less than 100µl, the final concentration of DNA can be increased, but it may reduce the total DNA yield. If the amount of DNA obtained is less than 1µg, 50µl Buffer GE is recommended for elution.4) Because DNA stored in water is subject to acidic hydrolysis, for long-term storage, elution with Buffer GE and storage at -20°C are recommended...
