| Description | The Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Kit (Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Kit) is a test kit that uses the classic propidium iodide (PI) staining method to analyze the cell cycle and apoptosis. Propidium iodide is a fluorescent dye for double-stranded DNA. When propidium iodide binds to double-stranded DNA, The Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Kit (Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Kit) is a test kit that uses the classic propidium iodide (PI) staining method to analyze the cell cycle and apoptosis. Propidium iodide is a fluorescent dye for double-stranded DNA. When propidium iodide binds to double-stranded DNA, it can produce fluorescence, and the fluorescence intensity is proportional to the content of double-stranded DNA. After the DNA in the cells is stained with propidium iodide, the DNA content of the cells can be measured using a flow cytometer, and then based on the distribution of DNA content, the cell cycle and apoptosis can be analyzed. After staining with propidium iodide, if the fluorescence intensity of G0/G1 phase cells is 1, then the theoretical fluorescence intensity of G2/M phase cells containing double genomic DNA is 2, and the fluorescence intensity of S phase cells undergoing DNA replication is between 1 and 2. Apoptotic cells, due to the condensation of the cell nucleus and the fragmentation of DNA (DNA fragmentation), cause some genomic DNA fragments to be lost during staining, so the iodine staining of apoptotic cells presents a significantly weak color, that is, the fluorescence intensity is less than 1, and a so-called sub-G1 peak appears on the fluorescence graph of flow cytometry, which is the peak of apoptotic cells. When cells undergo apoptosis, due to the concentration of cytoplasm and chromatin, apoptotic bodies are produced, causing changes in the light scattering properties of the cells. In the early stage of cell apoptosis, the ability of the cell to forward-angle light scattering significantly decreases, while the ability of lateral light scattering increases or remains unchanged. In the late stage of cell apoptosis, the signals of forward and lateral light scattering both decrease, so the changes in cell light scattering can be measured using a flow cytometer to observe the apoptosis situation. This kit is usually applied to the detection of the cell cycle and apoptosis of cultured adherent or suspended cells. If used for the cell cycle and apoptosis detection of cells from tissues, the tissue must be digested into a single-cell state before detection can be performed.

Fluorescent dyes all have the problem of quenching. Please try to avoid light during storage and use to slow down fluorescence quenching. 2. Iodophor is irritating to the human body. Please take appropriate protective measures. 3. Iodophor is a known mutagen, so this solution needs to be treated with activated carbon before being discarded. 4. When fixing cells with 70% ethanol, make sure it is thorough; otherwise, uneven staining will result in unclear or inaccurate results. It is recommended to fix the cells overnight at -4℃ with 70% ethanol. 5. After cell fixation, ensure that the cells are in a single-cell suspension; cell adhesion may affect our results. 6.

Avoid freeze/thaw cycle.ProductsThe Nc-Nucleus/Plasma Protein Extraction Kit is a simple and rapid method for extracting nucleus and plasma proteins from mammalian cells and tissues, and the extracted proteins remain biologically active. The kit first cleaves the cell membrane and releases plasma proteins using the plasma protein extraction reagent, and then centrifuges the nucleus to obtain a nucleus precipitate. Finally, the nuclear proteins are extracted by the nuclear protein extraction reagent. The extracted nuclear and plasma proteins are of high purity, effectively avoiding cross-contamination of nuclear and plasma proteins, and can be used for subsequent operations such as Western, Gel Shift, reporter gene detection and enzyme activity determination.Caveat1. If phosphorylated proteins are to be extracted, add a phosphatase inhibitor to the extraction reagent.2. All sample handling should be done on ice.3. The amount of reagents can be adjusted according to the specific experimental situation to ensure that the ratio of each reagent used is Nc-Buffer A:Nc-Buffer B:Nc-Buffer C = 100:5.5:50.4.

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...
