| Description | Inquire | When apoptosis occurs, some DNA endonucleases will be activated. These endonucleases will cut off genomic DNA between nucleosomes and produce 180 bp-200 BP DNA fragments, which appear as a specific ladder pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis. When double strand or single strand breaks occur in When apoptosis occurs, some DNA endonucleases will be activated. These endonucleases will cut off genomic DNA between nucleosomes and produce 180 bp-200 BP DNA fragments, which appear as a specific ladder pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis. When double strand or single strand breaks occur in genomic DNA, a large number of sticky 3'-oh ends will be generated, which can interact with YF under the catalysis of deoxyribonucleotide terminal transferase (TDT) ®/ CY dUTP binding can directly detect apoptotic cells by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. This kind of method is called terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL). Because normal or proliferating cells have almost no DNA breaks, there is no 3'-oh formation and they can rarely be stained. TUNEL method can stain intact single apoptotic nuclei or apoptotic bodies in situ, can accurately reflect the typical biochemical and morphological characteristics of apoptosis, and can detect a very small number of apoptotic cells, so it is widely used in the study of apoptosis. This kit has a wide range of applications and can be used to detect apoptosis in frozen or paraffin sections, as well as cultured adherent cells or suspended cells. It can selectively detect apoptotic cells, but not necrotic cells or cells with DNA strand breaks caused by irradiation and drug treatment. This kit detects cell apoptosis with a short time-consuming, one-step staining reaction and can be detected after washing.

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 optimized buffer system enables DNA to bind heterogeneously to the silica matrix centrifugal adsorption column, and the inhibitors of PCR and other enzymatic reactions can be effectively removed by a two-step washing step, and finally eluted with a low-salt buffer or water to obtain high-purity DNA.The purified obtained can be directly used for enzyme digestion, PCR, Real-Time PCR, library construction, Southern Blot, molecular labeling and other downstream 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 GW1 and Buffer GW2 according to the instructions on the label of the reagent bottle before first use.3. Before use, please check whether Buffer GL appears to be crystallized or precipitated.Redissolve in a 56°C water bath.4. If the downstream experiments are sensitive to RNA contamination, 4 µL DNase-Free RNase A can be added in step 3(100 mg/mL).5. For prolonged storage of salivary DNA at room temperature, our Salivary DNA Preservation Tubes are recommended.Operation steps1. Add 400 µL of saliva sample or saliva/preservation solution mixture.Note: 1) Saliva mixtures added to the preservation solution require a 50°C water bath for 1 hour or an empty 50°C temperature chamber for 2 hours prior to extraction.2) If an increase in sample volume is required, multiply the volumes of Proteinase K, Buffer GL, and anhydrous ethanol in Steps 2-4, and the liquid can be transferred in multiple times in Step 5.2. Add 40 µL of Proteinase K.3. Add 400µL Buffer GL, vortex and shake to mix thoroughly, and water bath at 56℃ for 15-30 minutes.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, vortex for 15 seconds, and leave at room temperature for 2 minutes.4. Centrifuge briefly to remove water droplets from the inside of the tube cap. Add 400 µL of anhydrous ethanol and mix well by vortexing and shaking. Centrifuge briefly.Note: 1) Vortex and shake to mix immediately after adding Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol.The addition of Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol may produce a white precipitate that will not affect subsequent experiments.2) A sol-gel product may be formed after GL and anhydrous ethanol, in which case vigorous shaking or vortexing is recommended.3) The solution obtained in the previous step is added to the adsorption column in the Collection Tube.5. (Spin Column DM) in the collection tube, and if the solution cannot be added all at once, it can be transferred in several times. centrifuge at 12,000 rpm (∼13,400 × g) for 1 min, pour off the waste solution in the collection tube, and put the adsorption column back into 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 put the adsorption column back into 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 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.).9. Place the adsorption column in a new centrifuge tube (supplied), add 50-200 µL of Buffer GE or sterilized water to the middle of the adsorption column overhanging the column, let it stand at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, and centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute to collect the DNA solution.-20°C to preserve DNA.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 the elution efficiency, if water is used as the eluent should ensure that its pH is 7.0-8.5 (you can use NaOH to adjust the pH of the water to this range), and the elution efficiency is not high when the pH is lower than 7.0.2) Buffer GE preheated in a 65-70°C water bath and incubated at room temperature for 5 min before centrifugation can increase the yield.3) Because DNA preserved in water is subject to acidic hydrolysis, for long-term storage, elution with Buffer GE and storage at -20°C is recommended...
