It is a crucial clinical IntroductionCreatine Kinase (CK) is primarily found in tissues such as the heart, muscle, and brain. It reversibly catalyzes the transphosphorylation reaction between creatine and ATP, playing a vital role in energy transfer, muscle contraction, and ATP regeneration. It is a crucial clinical indicator for diagnosing heart and brain diseases.Assay PrincipleCK catalyzes the conversion of Phosphocreatine and ADP to Creatine and ATP. Hexokinase then catalyzes the reaction of ATP with Glucose to form Glucose-6-Phosphate (G6P). Subsequently, Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PDH) catalyzes the oxidation of G6P with NADP⁺ to generate NADPH, leading to an increase in absorbance at 340 nm.Component50TStorageExtraction Buffer60 mL2-8℃Reagent 11EA2-8℃.

For different types of cells, whether it is applicable or not needs to be determined after testing. Cell Cycle Product introduction：Product introduction：Cell Cycle Assay Kit Plus ( Cell Cycle Assay Kit Plus ) has certain applicability for live cells and fixed cell cycle detection. For different types of cells, whether it is applicable or not needs to be determined after testing. Cell Cycle Assay Kit Plus ( Cell Cycle Assay Kit Plus ) uses RedNucleus I staining to detect cell cycle. RedNucleus I is a far-infrared nucleic acid dye with cell membrane permeability, which can quickly enter living cells, specifically bind to DNA, and perform cell cycle detection on living cells without RNase digestion. Compared with the traditional PI staining method, the cells do not need to be broken or fixed, and the operation is simpler. RedNucleus I is a fluorescent dye of double-stranded DNA, and the fluorescence intensity after binding to double-stranded DNA is proportional to the content of double-stranded DNA. The intracellular DNA content can be measured by flow cytometry, and then the cell cycle analysis can be carried out according to the distribution of DNA content. After RedNucleus I staining, assuming that the fluorescence intensity of G0 / G1 phase cells is 1, the theoretical value of the fluorescence intensity of G2 / M phase cells containing two copies of genomic DNA is 2, and the fluorescence intensity of S phase cells undergoing DNA replication is between 1-2. In addition, RedNucleus I is compatible with dyes such as Horizon BV / BUV, FITC and R-PE, and can be periodically detected after sample staining.The kit is usually used to detect the cell cycle of cultured adherent or suspended cells. If it is used for cell cycle detection of tissues, the tissues must be digested into a single cell state.Matters needing attention：1. please centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube immediately before use, and then conduct subsequent experiments. 2. this product is applicable to the detection of living cells and fixed cell cycle with certain limitations. Whether it is applicable to different types of cells needs to be determined after testing. If fixation is needed, it is recommended to use ice bath pre cooling 75-80% ethanol -20 ℃ to fix cells overnight. 3. fluorescent dyes have quenching problems. Please try to avoid light during storage and use to slow down fluorescence quenching. 4. for your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and disposable gloves.Instruction： Experimental materials ( self-provided )：①cell lines or other cell samples ( self-prepared ) ；②This kit ; ③ trypsin ( self-prepared ) ;④ Cell culture medium containing FBS ( self-prepared ) ; Experimental procedure： 1.Preparation of cell samples : ( 1 ) ( This step is for adherent cells, if suspended cells, can be carried out directly step ( 2 ) ) Digest cells with trypsin, add cell culture medium, gently blow away cells, collected into the centrifuge tube. Note : The number of cells on the machine needs to reach 50,000 and above, so the initial number of cells collected needs to be sufficient.

Product IntroductionThe Quick Ligation Reaction Kit allows ligation of DNA sticky or flush ends in 5 minutes at room temperature (25°C). The kit contains Quick T4 DNA Ligase and 2×Quick Ligation Reaction Buffer optimized for fast and efficient DNA ligation.The ligation efficiency of Quick Ligation is equivalent to 1 hour of conventional ligation with T4 DNA Ligase. The Quick Ligation products can be used directly in routine bacterial transformation experiments.matters needing attention1. This kit enables most of the linkage reactions to reach the reaction endpoint within 5 minutes or less at 25°C. Increasing the reaction time will not enhance the reaction efficiency. If you use the rapid connection reaction after 1 hour, the conversion efficiency will be significantly reduced; if the rapid connection reaction at 25 ℃ overnight, the conversion efficiency will drop to 75%.2. 2×Quick Ligation Reaction Buffer contains ATP, which should be thawed on ice and mixed thoroughly before use. It is recommended to freeze the buffer in small tubes for the first time, so as to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, which will affect the efficiency of DNA ligation.3. Since T4 DNA Ligase contains glycerol, which is sticky and easy to hang on the wall, it is recommended to collect the liquid to the bottom of the tube by centrifugation for a short period of time before use, and the tip of the lance should not go too deep into the liquid surface when taking samples to avoid sticking to the tip of the lance and causing losses.4. If the quick ligation product is used for electrotransformation, the PEG in the quick ligation reaction system will affect the efficiency of electrotransformation, and it is recommended to use a centrifugal column to purify the ligation product from DNA before electrotransformation.Usage1. The reaction solution was prepared according to the following system:*The amount of Insert DNA used: the molar ratio of Vector DNA and Insert DNA is generally 1:3-1:8, and the appropriate molar ratio of Vector DNA and Insert DNA can be selected according to the experimental situation.Calculation of DNA molar number: DNA molar number (nmol)=DNA mass (ng)/( 660daltons x number of inserted DNA bases bp).2. mix gently and centrifuge briefly. react at 25°C for 5 minutes.Note: The reaction time should not exceed 15 minutes, otherwise the connection efficiency will be reduced.3. Do not perform heat inactivation reactions. Centrifuge instantly and collect the solution from the wall to the bottom of the tube.Note: Heat inactivation significantly reduces transformation efficiency due to the presence of PEG in the buffer.4. After the reaction, store the DNA ligation product at 0-4℃, and then carry out transformation experiments; you can also store the DNA ligation product at -20℃.Note: When transforming by chemical method, do not add more than 10% of the volume of the receptor cell for the ligation product.5. Heat shock the ligation product to transform 50 µl of receptor cells or take 1-2 µl of ligation product to electroshock transform 50 µl of receptor cells.Note: 1) When transforming by chemical method, do not add more than 10% of the volume of the receptor cell for the ligation product.(2) If the quick ligation product is used for electrotransformation, it is recommended to use a centrifugal column to purify the ligation product from DNA before electrotransformation because the PEG in the quick ligation reaction system will affect the efficiency of electrotransformation...
