What should I do if the measured ΔA is too high or too low?If ΔA > 0.5, the sample HK activity is too high. Dilute the supernatant appropriately with Extraction Buffer (include the dilution factor *n* in the calculation) or shorten the reaction time to 5 min.If ΔA < 0.005, the sample HK activity is too low. Increase the sample volume (keep the Working Solution volume constant and adjust the variable in the formula accordingly) or extend the reaction time (e.g., to 15 or 30 min).2. Can multiple samples be assayed simultaneously for high-throughput detection?The initial reaction rate is fast. It is not recommended to run a large number of samples simultaneously. If a multichannel pipette is unavailable, it is best for two individuals to perform the experiment together—one person timing and the other measuring the absorbance—to ensure the accuracy of the results...

The optimized buffer system enables the DNA in the lysate to be efficiently and specifically bound to the silica matrix centrifugal adsorption column, while other contaminants can flow through the membrane, and the inhibitors of PCR and other enzymatic reactions can be effectively removed through a two-step washing step, and finally washed off with low-salt buffer or water, so that high-purity DNA can be obtained.The purified DNA can be used for downstream experiments such as digestion, PCR, Real-Time PCR, library construction, Southern Blot and molecular labeling, molecular labeling and other downstream experiments. Self-contained reagents: anhydrous ethanol; Enzymatic Lysis Buffer is required for extraction of Gram-positive bacteria.Enzymatic Lysis Buffer was prepared by 20 mM Tris, pH 8.0; 2 mM Na2-EDTA, pH 8.0; and 1.2% Triton X-100. 121°C sterilization for 20 minutes, and the appropriate amount of Lysozyme was added at a final concentration of 20 mg/ml. Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. Add 1.25ml Proteinase K Storage Buffer to Proteinase K to dissolve it and store it at -20℃. Do not leave the prepared Proteinase K at room temperature for a long time, 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 result in smaller DNA fragments and a decrease in the amount of extracted DNA.3. If extracting genomes from bacterial cultures with high accumulation of secondary metabolites or thick cell walls, it is recommended that samples be collected early in the logarithmic phase.4. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer GW1 and Buffer GW2 according to the instructions on the label of the reagent bottle before first use.5. Before use, please check Buffer GTL and Buffer GL for crystallization or precipitation. If crystallization or precipitation occurs, please re-dissolve Buffer GL and Buffer GTL in a 56℃ water bath.6. If the downstream experiments are sensitive to RNA contamination, 4µl of DNase-Free RNase A (100mg/ml) can be added before adding Buffer GL. RNase A is not provided in this kit.If the extracted samples are Gram-positive bacteria, customers need to prepare their own Enzymatic Lysis Buffer to treat the bacteria, which requires the use of Lysozyme (lysozyme) at a concentration of 20 mg/ml, which is not provided in this kit.Procedurei Extraction of genomic DNA from Gram-negative bacteria1. Take 1-5 ml of bacterial culture (106-108 cells, maximum 2×109 cells) and put it into a centrifuge tube (provided), centrifuge it at 12,000 rpm (~13,400×g) for 1 minute, and aspirate the supernatant as much as possible.2. Add 180 µl Buffer GTL to the precipitate and shake to resuspend the bacteria.3. Add 20 µl of Proteinase K, vortex and mix well, incubate at 56°C until the solution becomes clear, and invert or shake the centrifuge tube at intervals during the incubation to disperse the sample.Note: If RNA removal is required, add 4 µl of RNase A solution at a concentration of 100 mg/ml after the above steps are completed, shake to mix, and leave for 5-10 minutes at room temperature.4. Add 200µl Buffer GL and mix well with vortexing and shaking. Add 200µl of anhydrous ethanol and mix well with vortexing and shaking.Centrifuge briefly so that the solution on the walls of the tube collects at the bottom.Note: 1) If multiple samples are manipulated together, Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol can be mixed in equal proportions and then added together, shaking to mix.2) The addition of Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol may produce a white precipitate that will not affect subsequent experiments.5. Add all of the solution obtained in step 4 (including the precipitate formed) to the Spin Columns DM in the collection tube, or if the solution cannot be added all at once, transfer it several times. centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste solution, and return the column to the collection tube.6. Add 500 µl of Buffer GW1 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 return the adsorption column to the collection tube.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: Step 7 can be repeated if further DNA purity is required.8. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 2 minutes and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube. Leave the adsorbent column at room temperature for several minutes to dry thoroughly. Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorbent column; ethanol residue can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions (digestion, PCR, etc.).9. Place the adsorption column in a new centrifuge tube, add 50-200 µl Buffer GE to the middle part of the adsorption column overhanging the center of the adsorption column, leave it at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge it at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, collect the DNA solution, and store the DNA at -20 ℃. note: 1) If the downstream experiments are sensitive to the pH or EDTA, the elution can be done with sterilized water. The pH of the elution solution has a great influence on the elution efficiency. If water is used as the elution solution it should be ensured that its pH is 7.0-8.5 (the pH of water can be adjusted to this range with NaOH), and the elution efficiency is not high when the pH is lower than 7.0.2) Incubation at room temperature for 5 minutes prior to centrifugation increases yield.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 obtained in step 9 can be re-spiked onto the adsorbent membrane and step 9 repeated; if the elution volume is less than 200 µl, the final concentration of DNA can be increased, but the total yield may be reduced. If the amount of DNA is less than 1 µg, elution with 50 µl Buffer GE or sterilized water is recommended.(5) DNA stored in water will be affected by acidic hydrolysis. For long-term storage, it is recommended to elute with Buffer GE and store at -20℃.i. Extraction of genomic DNA from Gram-positive bacteria1.

Due to the high sensitivity of eukaryotic cells to endotoxins, the presence of endotoxins in plasmids can greatly reduce the transfection efficiency of eukaryotic cells. This reagent kit provides a simple, fast, and efficient new method for extracting endotoxin free plasmids. The extracted plasmids can remove endotoxins to the maximum extent possible and effectively remove contamination of genomic DNA, RNA, proteins, and other substances. This reagent kit is suitable for extracting 5-15mL of bacterial solution. On the basis of alkaline lysis of cells, it efficiently and specifically binds plasmid DNA through a new silicon-based membrane. Each adsorption column can adsorb up to 100 µ The plasmid DNA of g is effectively removed using a special buffer system and endotoxin removal filter column, effectively removing impurities such as endotoxins and proteins. The plasmid obtained from this kit has high purity and stable quality, making it particularly suitable for cell transfection. It can also be used for downstream experiments such as DNA sequencing, PCR, PCR based mutations, in vitro transcription, transformed bacteria, and endonuclease digestion.Self prepared reagents: anhydrous ethanol, isopropanol.Preparation and important precautions before the experiment:1. All components can be stably stored in a dry, room temperature (15-30 ℃) environment for 1 year, and can be stored at 2-8 ℃ for longer periods of time. Buffer P1 with RNase A added can be stably stored at 2-8 ℃ for 6 months.2. Before the first use, add all RNase A solution to Buffer P1, mix well, and store at 2-8 ℃. Before use, let it sit at room temperature for a period of time. After returning to room temperature, use.3.Before the first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to the Buffer PW according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.4. Before use, please check if there is any crystallization or precipitation in Buffer P2 and Buffer E3. If there is any crystallization or precipitation, you can take a water bath at 37 ℃ for a few minutes to restore clarity.5. Be careful not to come into direct contact with Buffer P2 and Buffer E3, and immediately cover them tightly after use.6.The amount and purity of plasmid extraction are related to factors such as bacterial culture concentration, strain type, plasmid size, and plasmid copy number.Operation steps:1. Take 5-15 mL of overnight cultured bacterial solution and add it to a centrifuge tube (self provided). Centrifuge at 13000 rpm (~16200 × g) for 1 minute to collect bacteria, and try to discard all the supernatant as much as possible.2. Add 500 to the centrifuge tube containing bacterial sediment µ L Buffer P1 (please check if RNase A has been added first), mix thoroughly with a pipette or vortex oscillator, and suspend bacterial precipitation. Attention: If the bacterial blocks are not thoroughly mixed, it will affect the cracking effect, resulting in low extraction amount and purity.3. Add 500 to the centrifuge tube µ L Buffer P2, gently invert and mix 8-10 times, allowing the bacterial cells to fully lyse. Leave at room temperature for 3-5 minutes. At this point, the solution should become clear and viscous. Attention: Mix gently and do not shake vigorously to avoid interrupting genomic DNA and mixing genomic DNA fragments in the extracted plasmid. If the solution does not become clear, it indicates that the bacterial count may be too high and the lysis may not be complete. The bacterial count should be reduced.4. Add 500 to the centrifuge tube µ L Buffer E3, immediately invert and mix 8-10 times until white flocculent precipitates appear. Let it stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 5 minutes, extract the supernatant, and add it to the filter column (Endo Remove FM) (already loaded into the collection tube). Centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 1 minute to filter, then transfer the filtrate from the collection tube to the centrifuge tube (self provided). Attention: 1) After adding Buffer E3, it should be immediately mixed to avoid local precipitation. 2) The maximum volume of the adsorption column is 750 µ L. So please filter the supernatant twice and mix it in the same self provided centrifuge tube.5. Add 450 to the filtrate µ Mix L isopropanol upside down.6. Column balance: Add 200 to the spin columns DL that have been loaded into the collection tube µ L Buffer PS, centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 2 minutes, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.7.

On the basis of cell lysis by alkaline lysis method, it adopts unique silicon matrix membrane adsorption technology to bind plasmid DNA efficiently and exclusively, and each adsorption column can adsorb up to 250 µg of plasmid DNA; at the same time, it adopts a special buffer system and endotoxin removal filter to effectively remove endotoxin, genomic DNA, RNA, protein and other impurities. The plasmids obtained from this kit are of high purity and stable quality, and can be used for cell transfection, as well as DNA sequencing, PCR, in vitro transcription, endonuclease digestion and other experiments.Self-contained reagents: anhydrous ethanol, isopropanol.Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. All components are stable for 1 year in a dry, room temperature (15-30°C) environment, and longer by placing the adsorption columns at 2-8°C. Buffer P1 with RNase A is stable for 6 months at 2-8°C.2. Before the first use, add all of the RNase A solution to Buffer P1, mix well, and store at 2-8°C. Before use, it needs to be left at room temperature for a period of time, return to room temperature and then use.3. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer PW before the first use according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.4. Please check Buffer P2 and Buffer E3 for crystallization or precipitation before use. If there is any crystallization or precipitation, the clarification can be restored by taking a water bath at 37℃ for a few minutes.5. Be careful not to touch Buffer P2 and Buffer E3 directly, and tighten the lid immediately after use.6. The amount and purity of extracted plasmid is related to the concentration of bacterial culture, strain type, plasmid size, plasmid copy number and other factors.7. The adsorption columns treated with Buffer PS should be used immediately to avoid leaving them for too long.Operation steps1.Take 15-50 ml of fresh bacterial solution from the overnight culture, add it to a centrifuge tube (self-prepared) and centrifuge at 5000 × g for 10 minutes to collect the bacteria, and aspirate all the supernatant as much as possible.2.Add 2.5 ml of Buffer P1 to the centrifuge tube in which the bacterial precipitate has been left (please check that RNase A has been added first) and suspend the bacterial precipitate by mixing thoroughly using a pipette or vortex shaker. Note: If the bacterial mass is not thoroughly mixed, it will affect the lysis effect and make the extraction amount and purity low.3.Add 2.5 ml of Buffer P2 to the centrifuge tube, mix gently up and down 8-10 times to fully lyse the organisms, and leave at room temperature for 3-5 minutes. At this point the solution should become clear and viscous. Note: Mix gently, do not shake vigorously, so as not to interrupt the genomic DNA and cause genomic DNA fragments to be mixed in the extracted plasmid. If the solution does not become clear, it suggests that the amount of bacteria may be too large and the lysis is not complete, and the amount of bacteria should be reduced.4.Add 2.5 ml of Buffer E3 to the centrifuge tube and mix immediately by turning up and down 8-10 times, at which time a white flocculent precipitate appears. Note: Buffer E3 should be mixed immediately after addition to avoid localized precipitation.5.Install the cap of the filter (Endo-Remover FX), transfer the solution obtained in step 4 to the filter, wait until the white flocculent precipitate floats on the upper layer of the solution, remove the cap of the filter, align the filter with a clean 15 ml centrifuge tube (supplied), and slowly push the handle (Plungers) to filter, so that as much as possible of the solution passes through, and the filtrate is collected in the centrifuge tube.6.Add 1/3 solution volume of isopropanol to the filtrate and mix upside down.7.Column Equilibrium: Add 1ml Buffer PS to the adsorption column (Spin Columns DX) that has been loaded into a 15ml centrifuge tube, centrifuge for 2 minutes at 2500 x g. Pour off the waste liquid from the centrifuge tube and put the adsorption column back into the centrifuge tube.8.The mixture of filtrate and isopropanol from step 6 was transferred to the equilibrated adsorption column (which had been loaded into a collection tube).9.Centrifuge at 2500 x g for 1 minute, pour off the waste solution in the collection tube and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube. Note: The maximum volume of the adsorption column is 4 ml, so the solution obtained in step 8 is passed through the column in 2 times.10.Add 2 ml of Buffer PW to the adsorption column (please check that anhydrous ethanol has been added first), centrifuge at 2500 × g for 1 min, and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube.11.Repeat step 10.12.The adsorbent column was put back into the collection tube and centrifuged at 2500 × g for 2 min, the waste liquid was poured off, and the column was left to dry at room temperature for 5 min.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. Place the adsorption column in a new 15 ml centrifuge tube, add 0.5-1 ml Endo-Free Buffer EB to the middle of the adsorbent membrane, leave it at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge it at 2500 × g for 2 minutes, and collect the plasmid solution into the centrifuge tube. -20°C to store the plasmid.Note: 1) In order to increase the recovery efficiency of the plasmid, the obtained solution can be reintroduced into the adsorption column, left at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuged at 2500 x g for 2 minutes, and the plasmid solution can be collected into a centrifuge tube.2) When the plasmid copy number is low or >10kb, Endo-Free Buffer EB can increase the extraction efficiency by preheating at 65-70°C in a water bath...
