| Description | Inquire | The bacterial viability / toxicity detection kit contains two fluorescent dyes. Nucgreen is a green nucleic acid dye that can stain live and dead bacteria; Ethd III is a red nucleic acid dye that only stains dead bacteria with damaged cell membranes. When nucgreen and ethd III are properly mixed, The bacterial viability / toxicity detection kit contains two fluorescent dyes. Nucgreen is a green nucleic acid dye that can stain live and dead bacteria; Ethd III is a red nucleic acid dye that only stains dead bacteria with damaged cell membranes. When nucgreen and ethd III are properly mixed, the bacteria with intact cell membrane appear green, while the bacteria with damaged cell membrane can appear green and red under different channels, respectively. A common criterion for bacterial viability is the ability to propagate in a suitable nutrient medium, known as a growth assay. This kit is generally in good agreement with the growth assay results in liquid or solid medium. However, under certain conditions, membrane damaged bacteria may recover and propagate in nutrient medium, and such bacteria will be identified as dead bacteria in this assay. On the contrary, some bacteria with intact membranes may not be able to propagate in nutrient medium, but will be recognized as viable bacteria in this assay. Therefore, if there is a large difference between the test results of this kit and the bacterial growth assay, the above possibilities should be considered. Component： Product parameters： NucGreen: Ex/Em = 503/530 nm (结合 DNA)；EthD-III: Ex/Em = 530/620 nm (结合 DNA)。Usage:1 Preparation of control samples for live and dead bacteria (optional)1. Cultivate 4 mL of bacteria in liquid medium until late logarithmic phase.2. Prepare two 1 mL bacterial solutions in an EP tube and centrifuge for 10-15 minutes under 5000-10000 g conditions.3. Remove the supernatant and add 0.3 mL of 0.85% NaCl resuspended bacteria to one of the EP tubes, and 1 mL of 0.85% NaCl resuspended bacteria to the other tube.4. Add 0.7 mL of isopropanol to a tube containing 0.3 mL of 0.85% NaCl, and mix thoroughly (with a final concentration of 70% isopropanol) to prepare a dead bacterial sample.5. Incubate the two samples at room temperature for 1 hour and mix every 15 minutes.6. Centrifuge the two samples at 5000-10000 g for 10-15 minutes.7. Remove the supernatant, add 1 mL of 0.85% NaCl to resuspend the bacteria in both samples, and centrifuge again as in step 6.8. Use a spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance values (OD670) of two bacterial suspensions at 670 nm.9. Adjust the density of the two bacterial suspensions (live and dead) to 108 bacteria/mL (OD670 ≈ 0.3), and then dilute with 0.85% NaCl at 1:100 to achieve a final density of 106 bacteria/mL.10. Mix two bacterial suspensions as shown in the table below to obtain the required live cell ratio: dead cell ratio.Table 1 Mix live and dead bacterial suspensions by a certain volume to achieve the required ratio of live and dead cellsLive cells: Dead cellsVolume of viable bacterial suspension（mL）Volume of dead bacterial suspension（mL）0:10001.010:900.10.920:800.20.830:700.30.750:500.50.5100:01.00II Staining methods for fluorescence microscopy observation1. Mix 1 volume of component A, NucGreen, and 2 volumes of component B, EthD-III, in a microcentrifuge tube. After thorough mixing, add 8 volumes of 0.85% NaCl solution to obtain a 100 x dye solution.2. Every 100 µ L bacterial suspension, add 1 µ 100 x dye solution of L.3. Mix thoroughly and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 15 minutes.4. Take 5 µ The bacterial suspension after L staining was dropped onto a glass slide with an 18 mm square cover glass.5. Observe under a fluorescence microscope. The fluorescence of live and dead bacteria can be observed simultaneously under any standard FITC long-acting filter. Alternatively, live (green fluorescent) and dead (red fluorescent) bacteria can be observed using FITC and Cy3 (or Texas Red) channels, respectively.Attention: (1) Before staining bacteria, attention must be paid to removing residues of growth media. Nucleic acid and other media components can bind to NucGreen and EthD-III dyes in some way, resulting in unacceptable staining changes. A simple washing step is usually sufficient to remove interfering media components from bacterial suspension. It is not recommended to use phosphate buffer solutions as they can reduce staining efficiency. (2) Before starting the formal experiment, the dye concentration should be adjusted to distinguish between NucGreen labeling live bacteria and EthD-III labeling dead bacteria. The optimal concentration may vary depending on the bacterial strain. It is generally best to use the lowest dye concentration that can provide sufficient signal. The above conditions have been optimized for staining live/dead cells of Escherichia coli.III Before starting the staining method experiment of flow cytometry, please read the precautions under the fluorescence microscope staining steps.According to Table 1, add 11 different proportions of live and dead bacteria to the EP tube. Each of the 11 samples has a volume of 1 mL.2. Add 12 µ The A component of L, NucGreen, and 24 µ The B component EthD-III of L was mixed in a microcentrifuge tube. Add 3 to each of the 11 samples µ Mix the mixed dyes of L thoroughly by blowing them up and down several times. (Note: Additional control bacterial samples need to be prepared for separate NucGreen and EthD-III staining)3. Incubate at room temperature in the dark for 15 minutes.4. Analyze each sample using a flow cytometer, detect NucGreen positive cells using FITC channels, and detect EthD-III positive cells using PI or PE channels.Matters needing attention：1. please centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube immediately before use, and then conduct subsequent experiments. 2. if the orifice plate is used for detection, a small amount of bacterial liquid can be left for imaging after standing for 10 min, which can effectively reduce the background. 3. in order to be closer to the real results, it is recommended to keep the brightness of red fluorescence consistent with that of green fluorescence in merge pictures. 4. fluorescent dyes have quenching problems. Please try to avoid light during experimental operation to slow down fluorescence quenching. 5. for your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and disposable gloves.Scope of application：Staining of dead and live bacteria...

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℃...

Products IntroductionThe SuperFast Probe One Step RT-qPCR U+ Kit is designed for quantitative PCR assays using RNA as a template (e.g., RNA viruses). Using gene-specific primers (GSP), reverse transcription and qPCR reactions are completed in a single tube, eliminating the need for additional tube-opening/pipetting operations, greatly increasing throughput and reducing the risk of contamination. The dUTP/UNG anti-contamination system is introduced in this kit. The heat-sensitive UNG rapidly degrades U-containing contaminants at room temperature; it is rapidly inactivated by reverse transcription at 55°C, without affecting the efficiency and sensitivity of qRT-PCR. Combined with optimized buffer systems and antibody-modified Taq enzymes and mutated M-MLV, the SuperFast Probe One Step RT-qPCR U+ Kit provides sensitivity up to 0.1 pg of total RNA or <10 copies of RNA template and enhanced thermal stability. 5× SuperFast One Step RT-qPCR U+ Buffer contains the following components The 5× SuperFast One Step RT-qPCR U+ Buffer contains an optimized buffer system and dNTP/dUTP Mix, which is particularly suitable for high specificity, low template concentration and multiplexed rapid detection of fluorescently labeled probes such as TaqMan. caveatBefore use, please mix the product gently by turning it up and down after it is completely melted to avoid foaming, and use it after brief centrifugation. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the product.ROX dye is used to correct the fluorescence signal error between the quantitative PCR wells, this product does not contain ROX dye, if you need to match the ROX dye with the instrument you are using, please contact your local business or call CombiSense customer service at 4006-222-360. PCR reaction system Attention: (1) Usually, the final primer concentration of 0.2 µM can get better results, and 0.1-1.0 µM can be used as a reference for setting the range. If the amplification efficiency is not high, the concentration of primer can be increased; if non-specific reaction occurs, the concentration of primer can be decreased to optimize the reaction system.(2) The final concentration of the probe used is related to the fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument used, the type of probe, and the type of fluorescent labeling substance, please refer to the instrument manual or the specific requirements for the use of each fluorescent probe to adjust the concentration.3) Because templates from different species contain different numbers of copies of the target gene, the template can be diluted in a gradient to determine the optimal amount of template to usePCR reaction conditionsmovetemptimingcirculatereverse transcription55°C1 min1premutability95°C10s1)1denaturation95°C1 s40-45Annealing/Extension55-60°C2)10-15s3)40-45Attention: (1) The enzyme used in this product is activated under the condition of pre-denaturation at 95℃ for 30s. Under this condition, most of the templates can be well unchained. For templates with high GC content and complex secondary structure, the pre-denaturation time can be extended to 1min, so as to make the starting template fully unchained, and if the high temperature treatment time is too long, it will affect the activity of the enzyme; for simple templates, pre-denaturation time of 1-10s can also be used, and the optimal pre-denaturation time can be determined according to the template situation.(2) It is recommended to use two-step PCR reaction program, the annealing temperature should be 55-60℃ as the reference range, and the annealing temperature can be increased when non-specific reaction occurs. If you can't get good results due to the use of primers with low Tm values or long amplification products, you can try three-step PCR amplification.3) Whether the actual Real Time PCR instrument used supports rapid amplification cycles, please perform a pre-experiment to verify this for the first attempt...
