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.

AChE is located at the synaptic cleft and functions to terminate synaptic transmission by catalyzing the breakdown of ACh allowing cholinergic neurons to return to a resting state after activation. It is also found in membranes of red blood cells, motor and sensory fibers, muscles, nerves and central and peripheral tissues. Changes in AChE activity may result from exposure to certain insecticides, which act as cholinesterase inhibitors. Inhibitors of AChE are also used to treat certain conditions such as dementia.Acetylcholinesterase activity assay kit has been used to determine the activity of acetylcholinesterase in a rat organophosphate model and in brain tissue homogenates.Principle：Acetylcholinesterase can catalyze the hydrolysis of acetylcholine to choline, and the reaction of choline with disulfide p-nitrobenzoic acid to produce 5-merhydryl-nitrobenzoic acid (TNB). The product has a characteristic absorption peak at 412 nm, and the activity of acetylcholinesterase can be characterized by the change of light absorption valueThe Dilution Calculator EquationConcentration (start)xVolume (start)= Concentration (final)× Volume (final)This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2...

The main component of the detection reagent is a redox indicator. In the oxidized stateProduct IntroductionAlamar Blue detection reagent provides a simple, rapid, reliable and safe method for cell proliferation and cytotoxicity detection, which is suitable for high-throughput detection experiments. The main component of the detection reagent is a redox indicator. In the oxidized state, it appears purple-blue and non-fluorescent, while in the reduced state, it turns into a reduction product with pink or red fluorescence, with an absorption peak of 530-560nm and an emission peak of 590nm.In the process of cell proliferation, the ratios of NADPH/NADP, FADH/FAD, FMNH/FMN and NADH/NAD in the cell increase and are in a reducing environment. The dye taken into the cell is reduced by these metabolic intermediates and cytochromes and then released outside the cell and dissolved in the culture medium, changing the culture medium from non-fluorescent indigo blue to fluorescent pink. Finally, use an ordinary spectrophotometer or fluorophotometer for detection, and the absorbance and fluorescence intensity are proportional to the number of active cells.Instructions1. Add 10µl of detection reagent to 100µl of cell suspension, and incubate in a cell incubator for 2-6 hours. The color of the medium changes from indigo blue to pink and you can proceed to the next step.2. It is recommended to use a fluorescence microplate reader for detection, the excitation light wavelength is between 530-560 nm, the emission light wavelength is 590 nm, and the relative fluorescence unit (RFU) is recorded.3. Draw a standard curve or cell growth curve: the ordinate (Y axis) is the relative fluorescence unit (RFU); the abscissa (X axis) is the cell number or time point or drug concentration.Precautions1. The appropriate density of cells can increase the detection sensitivity. For 96-well plates, we recommend seeding 100 microliters of cells per well. The cell concentration range is: 100-10,000/well for adherent cells, 2,000-50,000/well for suspension cells, and medium as a blank control. For 384-well plates, the cell concentration and seeding volume are both halved.2. The whole process should be aseptic operation, because microbial contaminants can also reduce the detection reagents and affect the experimental results.3. Pay attention to the concentration of inoculated cells and the incubation time after adding detection reagents. If the cell concentration is too high or the incubation time is too long, it will cause a secondary reduction reaction, resulting in colorlessness and disappearance of fluorescence.4. When incubating, avoid light.5. This product can use fluorescence or spectrophotometric detection, but the sensitivity of fluorescence is high, and the experimental error is small. Fluorescence detection is recommended...

Add 5ml Proteinase K Storage Buffer to Proteinase K to dissolve it, and storeit at -20℃. Do not leave the prepared Proteinase K at room temperature for a longtime, and avoid repeated freezing and thawing to avoid affecting its activity.2. Repeated freezing and thawing of the sample should be avoided, as this may resultin smaller DNA fragments and a decrease in the amount of extracted DNA. 3.This kit can extract up to 1-5 ml of whole blood samples, if you need to extracta large number of blood samples, please use the blood genome non-column extractionkit. 4. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer GW1 and Buffer GW2 according to theinstructions on the label of the reagent bottle before first use.5. Please check Buffer GL for crystallization or precipitation before use, if thereis any crystallization or precipitation, please put it in 56℃water bath to re-dissolve.6. If the downstream experiments are sensitive to RNA contamination, 4µl of DNaseFree RNase A (100mg/ml) can be added, RNase A is not provided in the kit, and canbe ordered separately from our company if needed.7. The Buffer RCL in the kit cannot be used further after turbidity.procedure1. Add 1-5 ml of blood sample to a centrifuge tube (supplied) and add 3 times thevolume of Buffer RCL and gently vortex or invert to mix.2. Centrifuge at 3000 rpm (~900 x g) for 10 minutes and carefully aspirate thesupernatant.3. Add 400 µl Buffer GR to the precipitate and resuspend the precipitate. Note: If the downstream assay is sensitive to RNA, add 4 µl of RNase A (100 mg/ml)solution, shake for 15 seconds, and leave at room temperature for 5 minutes.4. For 1-2 ml blood sample extraction, add 40µl Proteinase K to the above solutionand mix well; for 2-5 ml blood sample extraction, add 100µl Proteinase K to theabove solution and mix well.5. Add 400 µl of Buffer GL, mix upside down 15 times, and vigorously vortex andshake for at least 1 minute. Note: Do not add Proteinase K directly to Buffer GL.6. Incubate at 70°C for 10 minutes, during which time mixing was inverted severaltimes.Note: 1) If the solution is not completely clear, add appropriate amount of Proteinase K and incubate. Extend the incubation time until the solution is completely clear. 2) The yield of DNA has been maximized by 10 minutes of incubation, and continuedprolongation of the incubation time has no effect on DNA yield or purity.7. Add 400 µl of anhydrous ethanol and mix upside down 10 times. Centrifuge brieflyto concentrate the liquid on the walls and cap to the bottom of the tube.8. Add all of the solution obtained in the previous step to the Spin Columns DL inthe collection tube. If the solution cannot be added all at once, transfer it severaltimes. centrifuge at 12,000 rpm (~13,400 x g) for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquidfrom the collection tube, and put the column back into the collection tube.9. Add 500 µl of Buffer GW1 to the adsorption column (check that anhydrous ethanolis added before use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquidin the collection tube, and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Note: It is recommended that step 9 be repeated if the sample being extracted isthe blood genome of a species such as mice or monkeys from which hemoglobin isdifficult to remove.10. Add 500 µl Buffer GW2 to the adsorption column (check that anhydrous ethanolis added before use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquidin the collection tube, and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Note: Step 10 can be repeated if further DNA purity is required.11. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 2 minutes and pour off the waste liquid in thecollection tube. Leave the adsorption column at room temperature for several minutesto dry thoroughly. Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorptioncolumn, which can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions (digestion, PCR,etc.)12. Place the adsorption column in a new centrifuge tube, add 50-200 µl of BufferGE or sterilized water to the middle of the adsorption column overhanging the column,leave it at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute,collect the DNA solution, and store the DNA at -20℃.Note: 1) If the downstream experiment is sensitive to pH or EDTA, you can use sterilized water for elution. The pH of the eluent has a great influence on theelution efficiency, if water is used as the eluent should ensure that its pH is7.0-8.5 (you can use NaOH to adjust the pH of the water to this range), and the elutionefficiency is not high when the pH is lower than 7.0.2) Incubation at room temperature for 5 minutes prior to centrifugation increasesyield.3) Re-elution with an additional 50-200 µl Buffer GE or sterilized water can increase the yield.4) If the final concentration of DNA is to be increased, the DNA eluate obtainedin step 12 can be re-spiked onto the adsorbent membrane and centrifuged at 12,000rpm. 1min; if the elution volume is less than 200µl, the final concentration of DNA canbe increased, but the total yield may be reduced. If the amount of DNA is less than1 µg, elution with 50 µl Buffer GE or sterilized water is recommended.5) Because DNA preserved in water is subject to acidic hydrolysis, for long-termstorage, it is recommended that it be eluted with Buffer GE and stored at -20℃...
