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 Creatine 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.

The reagent contains two chemicals, sulfonic acid and n- (1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine. Under acidic conditions, sulfamic acid is converted into diazonium salt by nitrite, which can form a highly colored azo dye with n- (1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine. This dye can be detected at 548 nm: because no is extremely unstable, it is oxidized to form nitrite and nitrate. Griess indirectly reflects the content of no by detecting the content of nitrite.Matters needing attention：1. before using Griess reagent, return it to room temperature and check the solution for precipitation. If Griess reagent I contains sediment when taken out, it can be placed in a 37 ℃ water bath until the sediment dissolves. 2. this product is potentially harmful. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Avoid entering eyes, skin or clothing. Please wear lab clothes and disposable gloves for operation.Scope of application：No detectionComponent：Instruction：1.Griess Reagent I and II were taken out to restore the room temperature.2.Standard dilution : The standard NaNO2 ( 1-100 µM ) was diluted with the solution used for the sample to be tested. The standard was diluted to 1 µM, 10 µM, 20 µM, 40 µM, 80 µM and 100 µM, and 100 µL standard was added to each well. If the sample concentration is too low, the range of the standard curve can be appropriately reduced ( 1 µM, 2 µM, 3 µM, 4 µM, 6 µM, 8 µM, 10 µM ).3.Sample detection :( 1 ) According to the total volume of 200 µL / hole, 100 µL / hole sample was added to the 96-well plate ; if the sample is the supernatant of the culture medium, it can be sampled directly, and if there is sediment, the supernatant should be taken after centrifugation. If the sample is a cell or tissue, it can be quickly lysed by freeze-thaw, and then centrifuged to obtain the supernatant. The volume of less than 100 µL can be diluted with diH2O or 0.9 % NaCl ( corresponding standards also need to be diluted with diH2O or 0.9 % NaCl ).( 2 ) According to 50 µL / hole, Griess Reagent I was added to each hole.( 3 ) According to 50 µL / hole, Griess Reagent II was added to each hole.( 4 ) The absorbance was measured at 540 nm. If there is no 540 nm filter, 520-560 nm filter can also be. If there is no microplate reader or a suitable filter, the concentration of nitric oxide in the sample can also be determined by visual colorimetry.

The optimized buffer system enables the DNA in the lysate to specifically bind to the adsorbent membrane, and the inhibitor is effectively removed by a two-step rinsing step, and finally eluted with low-salt buffer or water to obtain high-purity DNA.Meanwhile, configured with a high-efficiency microsorbent column, the elution volume can be as low as 20 µL.The purified DNA can be directly used for PCR, Real-time PCR, SNP Genotyping, STR genotyping, second-generation sequencing and pharmacogenomics research.The molecular weight of DNA isolated from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples is usually lower than that of DNA from fresh or frozen samples.The degree of DNA fragmentation depends on the type of sample, the duration of storage, and the conditions of fixation.Self-contained reagent: anhydrous ethanolPre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. After obtaining the sample, fix the sample in 4%-10% formalin as soon as possible, the fixation time should be 14-24 hours, too long a period of time will easily lead to genome breakage, affecting the downstream experiments. If the formaldehyde fixation time is too long or the sample has been stored for too long (> 1 year), it will easily lead to DNA integrity damage and unable to amplify long fragments.2. Ensure that the sample is thoroughly dehydrated before embedding; residual formalin will inhibit Proteinase K.3. 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.4. Before use, please check Buffer GTL, Buffer GL and Buffer DS for any crystallization or precipitation. If there is any crystallization or precipitation, please re-dissolve Buffer GTL, Buffer GL and Buffer DS at 56℃ in a water bath.5. Preheat the water bath or thermostatic mixer to 56°C and keep the centrifuge at 25°C before starting the experiment.6. If downstream experiments are needed to reduce the low frequency of C>T:G>A transitions (artificial mutations) that occur to minimize the risk of false positives, 7 µL of UNG (1 U/uL) can be added after 1 hour of incubation at 90°C.Operation steps1. Sample processing:1a. Paraffin-embedded samples: Trim off excess paraffin from the tissue block with a scalpel to expose the tissue and then cut into 5-10µm slices. Take about 1×1cm2 slices (about 4-5 slices in total) and place them in a centrifuge tube (provided), add 160µL Buffer DS, vortex and shake for 10 seconds, then add 180µL Buffer GTL and 20µL Proteinase K, vortex and shake for 10 seconds. centrifuge the samples at 12,000rpm for 1 minute at 25℃.Note: 1) If the surface of the sample has been exposed to air, discard the 2-3 pieces that have been exposed to air and do not use them.2) DS will solidify below 18°C, and if it does it does not affect the following experiments.1b. Sample in formalin and other fixative: take about 20mg of sample, cut it into small pieces, place it in a centrifuge tube, add 500µL of 10mM PBS (PH7.4), vortex shaking, centrifuge at 12,000rpm for 1minute, discard the supernatant, and repeat 3 times. Add 180 µL Buffer GTL, 20 µL Proteinase K, vortex shaking to mix.2.56°C for 1 hour until the sample is completely dissolved. incubate at 90°C for 1 hour. centrifuge at 12,000 rpm, 25°C for 1 minute, and carefully pipette the lower aqueous phase (~180 µL) along the wall of the tube into a new centrifuge tube, trying to avoid aspirating the bottom precipitate and the upper layer of the wax solution.Note: 1) Samples can be left at room temperature after incubation at 56°C until the temperature of the water or dry bath reaches 90°C before placing the samples at 90°CIncubation.2) Optional step: add 7µL UNG (1U/µL), 50°C, 5min, no shaking. The purpose of this step is to minimize the risk of false positives by reducing the low-frequency occurrence of C>T:G>A transitions (artificial mutations) while effectively retaining the true occurrence of mutations.3. Optional step: If you need to remove RNA, you can lower the temperature of the sample to room temperature, then add 2µL of RNase A solution at a concentration of 100mg/mL, shake and mix well, and leave it at room temperature for 2 minutes.4. Add 20µL Proteinase K and incubate at 65℃, 450rpm for 15min.5. Add 200 µL of Buffer GL, mix well by vortexing and shaking, then add 200 µL of anhydrous ethanol and mix thoroughly by vortexing and shaking. Centrifuge briefly so that the solution on the wall of the tube collects at the bottom of the tube.Note: 1) Mix well immediately after adding Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol.2) The addition of Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol may produce a white precipitate that will not affect subsequent experiments.3) If more than one sample needs to be manipulated, the Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol can be pre-mixed and spiked.6. Add all the solution obtained in step 5 to the adsorption columns (Spin Columns DF) that have been loaded into the collection tube, centrifuge at 25℃, 12000rpm for 2 minutes, pour out the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorption columns back into the collection tube.7. Add 500µL of Buffer GW1 to the adsorption column (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12,000rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube.8. Add 500µL of Buffer GW2 to the adsorption column (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12000rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Note: Step 8 can be repeated if further DNA purity is required.9.12 Centrifuge at 2000 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; ethanol residue can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions.10. Place the adsorption column in a new 1.5 mL collection tube, add 20-100 µL of Buffer TE or sterilized water to the middle of the adsorption column overhanging the column, let it stand at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge it at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, and collect the DNA solution.-20°C to preserve DNA.Note: 1) The pH value of the eluent has a great influence on the elution efficiency, if water is used as the eluent should ensure that its pH value is 7.0-8.5, the pH value is lower than 7.0 when the elution efficiency is not high.2) If the final concentration of DNA is to be increased, the DNA eluate obtained in step 10 can be re-spiked onto the adsorbent membrane and left at room temperature for 2 minutes and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute...
