| Description | Animal liver and kidneys are the main organs for amino acid metabolism. Therefore, changes in urinary amino acids best reflect the physiological state of the liver and kidneys. Additionally, amino acid levels can indicate conditions such as burns and typhoid fever. The amino acid content in plants Animal liver and kidneys are the main organs for amino acid metabolism. Therefore, changes in urinary amino acids best reflect the physiological state of the liver and kidneys. Additionally, amino acid levels can indicate conditions such as burns and typhoid fever. The amino acid content in plants is significant for studying nitrogen metabolism changes under different conditions and during various growth and development stages, as well as for understanding nitrogen absorption, transport, assimilation, and nutritional status in plants.Detection Principle: The α-amino group of amino acids reacts with ninhydrin hydrate to produce a blue-purple compound with a characteristic absorption peak at 570 nm. The amino acid content is calculated by measuring the absorbance at 570 nm.Detection Range: 0.625 - 40 µmol/mLSensitivity: 0.5 µmol/mLApplicable Samples: Serum (plasma), animal/plant tissues, cells, cell culture supernatants, bacteria, urineG1501758Component96TStorageG1501758AExtraction Buffer100 mL2-8℃G1501758BAssay Buffer10 mL2-8℃G1501758CSubstrate1EA2-8℃.

For spectrophotometers, zero the instrument with deionized water.4.2 Sample Measurement (Add reagents sequentially into microcentrifuge tubes as below):ReagentBlank Tube (µL)Standard Tube (µL)Test Tube (µL)Deionized Water1000Standard (various conc.)0100Sample0010Working Substrate202020Assay Buffer5050504.3 Mix well and cap the tubes tightly (to prevent moisture loss). Incubate in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. Cool in tap water for 10 seconds. Add 120 µL of 60% ethanol to each tube and invert several times to mix. Transfer 150 µL from each tube to the corresponding wells of a 96-well plate or micro glass cuvette. Measure the absorbance at 570 nm, recorded as A blank, A standard, and A test. Calculate ΔA test = A test - A blank and ΔA standard = A standard - A blank (The blank tube only needs to be prepared once). All measurements must be completed within 30 minutes after color development. Note:It is recommended to perform a preliminary test with 2-3 samples expected to have significant differences before the formal experiment. If A <sub> test </sub> is greater than 2.0, dilute the sample further with deionized water and multiply the result by the dilution factor.Proline and hydroxyproline do not produce an absorption peak at 570 nm when reacting with ninhydrin. Therefore, the results measured at 570 nm do not include these two amino acids.5. Calculation of ResultsNote: We provide two formulas, including the derived formula and a simplified version. They are equivalent. It is recommended to use the simplified formula in bold for final calculation.5.1 Standard Curve PlottingPlot the standard concentration (y-axis) against ΔA standard (x-axis) to generate the standard curve.

The most accurate method to detect cell proliferation is the BrdU method. Edu detection kit is a revolutionary breakthrough of BrdU method. Edu (5-Cell proliferation detection is a basic experimental method to evaluate the health of cells, genotoxicity and the effect of antitumor drugs. The most accurate method to detect cell proliferation is the BrdU method. Edu detection kit is a revolutionary breakthrough of BrdU method. Edu (5-ethynyl-2 '- deoxyuridine) is a pyrimidine analog that integrates into the DNA duplex during DNA synthesis. Edu detection is based on the "click" reaction. A copper catalyzed azide reacts covalently with alkynes to form covalent bonds. In this kit, edu contains alkynes, Aladdin ® 488 / 555/594/647a azide dyes contain azide compounds. The edu labeling proliferation of click method is rapid and effective, and easy to use. BrdU method requires DNA denaturation (such as acid denaturation, thermal denaturation or digestion with DNase) to expose BrdU, so as to facilitate BrdU antibody binding; The edu method only needs paraformaldehyde fixation and Triton X-100 penetration to make the detection reagent enter the cells, and only a small amount of azide dye is needed to label the integrated edu very effectively. This kit contains all components required for edu method detection, and can be used for proliferation detection of cultured cells in vitro.Component:Product parameters：555/565 nm；Instruction： Experimental materials (self provided). 10 mM PBS, pH 7.2-7.6. 4% paraformaldehyde fixing solution (in PBS)Propensive reagent (0.5% Triton X -100 in PBS). 2 mg/mL glycine solution (in ddH2O). 3% BSA in PBS, pH 7.2-7.6. 1% BSA in PBS, pH 7.2-7.6. ddH2O. 96/24/12/6 well culture plate or dishFluorescence microscopy detection method1.

Read More | Product IntroductionAlamar Blue detection reagent provides a simple, rapid, reliable and safe method for cell proliferation and cytotoxicity detection, which is suitable for high-throughput detection experiments. The main component of the detection reagent is a redox indicator. In the oxidized stateProduct IntroductionAlamar Blue detection reagent provides a simple, rapid, reliable and safe method for cell proliferation and cytotoxicity detection, which is suitable for high-throughput detection experiments. The main component of the detection reagent is a redox indicator. In the oxidized state, it appears purple-blue and non-fluorescent, while in the reduced state, it turns into a reduction product with pink or red fluorescence, with an absorption peak of 530-560nm and an emission peak of 590nm.In the process of cell proliferation, the ratios of NADPH/NADP, FADH/FAD, FMNH/FMN and NADH/NAD in the cell increase and are in a reducing environment. The dye taken into the cell is reduced by these metabolic intermediates and cytochromes and then released outside the cell and dissolved in the culture medium, changing the culture medium from non-fluorescent indigo blue to fluorescent pink. Finally, use an ordinary spectrophotometer or fluorophotometer for detection, and the absorbance and fluorescence intensity are proportional to the number of active cells.Instructions1. Add 10µl of detection reagent to 100µl of cell suspension, and incubate in a cell incubator for 2-6 hours. The color of the medium changes from indigo blue to pink and you can proceed to the next step.2. It is recommended to use a fluorescence microplate reader for detection, the excitation light wavelength is between 530-560 nm, the emission light wavelength is 590 nm, and the relative fluorescence unit (RFU) is recorded.3. Draw a standard curve or cell growth curve: the ordinate (Y axis) is the relative fluorescence unit (RFU); the abscissa (X axis) is the cell number or time point or drug concentration.Precautions1. The appropriate density of cells can increase the detection sensitivity. For 96-well plates, we recommend seeding 100 microliters of cells per well. The cell concentration range is: 100-10,000/well for adherent cells, 2,000-50,000/well for suspension cells, and medium as a blank control. For 384-well plates, the cell concentration and seeding volume are both halved.2. The whole process should be aseptic operation, because microbial contaminants can also reduce the detection reagents and affect the experimental results.3. Pay attention to the concentration of inoculated cells and the incubation time after adding detection reagents. If the cell concentration is too high or the incubation time is too long, it will cause a secondary reduction reaction, resulting in colorlessness and disappearance of fluorescence.4. When incubating, avoid light.5. This product can use fluorescence or spectrophotometric detection, but the sensitivity of fluorescence is high, and the experimental error is small. Fluorescence detection is recommended... Read More | The content of this cell is too long for an XLSX file (more than 32767 characters).

During the operation process, RNase contamination should be avoided to prevent RNA degradation or cross contamination during experiments. It is recommended to perform RNA operations in specialized areas, use specialized instruments and consumables, and have operators wear masks and disposable gloves, and frequently change gloves.2. Disposable plastic containers should be used as much as possible for experiments. If glass containers are used, they should be treated with a 0.1% DEPC (diethyl pyrocarbonate) aqueous solution at 37 ℃ for 12 hours, and sterilized under high pressure at 120 ℃ for 30 minutes before use. Alternatively, glass containers should be sterilized under dry heat at 180 ℃ for 60 minutes before use. The sterile water used in the experiment should be treated with 0.1% DEPC and then subjected to high-pressure sterilization.3. All reagents in this reagent kit should be gently mixed upside down before use, avoiding foaming as much as possible, and used after brief centrifugation. The enzymes involved should be returned to -20 ℃ as soon as possible after use to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.4. This reagent kit must use specific primers, and the selection of primers can be based on specific experiments. The quality of primer design directly affects the results of RT-PCR reactions. When designing primers, factors such as GC content, primer length, primer position, and the secondary structure of PCR products need to be considered. It is recommended to use professional primer design software.Usage:1. Dissolve the RNA template, primers, OneStep RT-PCR Buffer, SuperRT OneStep RT-PCR EnzymeMix, and RNase Free Water and place them on ice for later use.2.

In the case of low amplification efficiency, the concentration of primers can be increased; When non-specific reactions occur, the primer concentration can be reduced to optimize the reaction system.3. Vortex and shake well, centrifuge briefly, and collect the solution to the bottom of the tube.4. Preheat the thermal cycler to 45 ℃, place the PCR tube in the thermal cycler, and perform RT-PCR reaction.Reaction conditions: Step Temperature Time / Reverse transcription 45℃ 30 min / PCR pre denaturation 95℃ 2 min Denaturation 94℃ 30 s 30-40 cycles Anneal 55-65℃ 30 s 30-40 cycles Extend 72℃ 30 s 30-40 cycles Finally extended 72℃ 5 min /Attention:1) In general PCR experiments, the annealing temperature is 5 ℃ lower than the melting temperature Tm of the amplification primer, and the annealing time is generally 20-30 seconds. If the ideal amplification efficiency cannot be achieved, the annealing temperature should be appropriately reduced; When non-specific reactions occur, increase the annealing temperature to optimize the reaction conditions.2) The extension time is set based on the size of the amplified fragments, and the DNA Polymerase amplification efficiency contained in this product is 1 kb/30s.3) The number of cycles can be set based on the downstream application of the amplification product. Too few cycles, insufficient amplification; Multiple cycles increase the probability of mismatches and result in severe non-specific backgrounds. Therefore, while ensuring product yield, the number of cycles should be minimized as much as possible.5.
