Tissue Samples: Weigh approximately 0.1 g of tissue, add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer, and homogenize on ice. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm, 4°C for 10 minutes. Collect the supernatant and keep it on ice for assay.Note: If increasing the sample amount, use a ratio of 1:5 to 1:10 (tissue weight (g) : Extraction Buffer volume (mL)) for extraction.2. Bacterial/Cell Samples: Collect bacteria or cells into a centrifuge tube by centrifugation and discard the supernatant. Take 5 million bacteria or cells, add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer, and disrupt using ultrasound on ice (power 20% or 200 W, ultrasonicate for 3 s, interval 10 s, repeat 30 times). Centrifuge at 12000 rpm, 4°C for 10 minutes. Collect the supernatant and keep it on ice for assay.Note: If increasing the sample amount, use a ratio of 500-1000 (x10⁴ cells) : 1 (mL Extraction Buffer) for extraction.3. Liquid Samples: Detect directly. If the sample is turbid, centrifuge and use the supernatant for detection.Assay Procedure1. Preheat the UV spectrophotometer for at least 30 minutes. Set the wavelength to 340 nm. Zero the instrument with distilled water.2. Thaw all reagents to room temperature (25°C).3. In a 1 mL quartz cuvette, add sequentially:Reagent (µL)Test CuvetteSample70Reagent 230Reagent 3430Reagent 4580Mix well and incubate at 37°C for 5 minutes. 4. Add:Reagent (µL)Test CuvetteReagent 5305. Mix well. Immediately read the absorbance at 340 nm (A1), and then read again after 15 minutes (A2). Calculate ΔA = A2 - A1.Notes:1. If ΔA is close to zero, the reaction time can be appropriately extended to 30 minutes or longer before reading A2; or the sample volume V1 can be increased appropriately (with a corresponding decrease in Reagent 4 volume). The modified reaction time (T) and sample volume (V1) must be substituted into the calculation formula.2. If the initial absorbance A1 is too high (e.g., >2, as in deeply pigmented plant leaves), appropriately reduce the sample volume V1 (with a corresponding increase in Reagent 4 volume). The modified V1 must be substituted into the calculation formula. Alternatively, add a small amount of activated carbon to the sample, mix, let stand for 5 min, then centrifuge at 12000 rpm, 4°C for 10 min, and use the supernatant for detection.3. If the increasing trend is unstable, read the absorbance every 10 seconds and select a linear increasing period for calculation. The corresponding ΔA value should be substituted into the calculation formula.FK Activity Calculation1.

The optimized buffer system enables the DNA in the lysate to be efficiently and specifically bound to the silica matrix centrifugal adsorption column, while other contaminants can flow through the membrane, and the inhibitors of PCR and other enzymatic reactions can be effectively removed through a two-step washing step, and finally washed off with low-salt buffer or water, so that high-purity DNA can be obtained.The purified DNA can be used for downstream experiments such as digestion, PCR, Real-Time PCR, library construction, Southern Blot and molecular labeling, molecular labeling and other downstream experiments. Self-contained reagents: anhydrous ethanol; Enzymatic Lysis Buffer is required for extraction of Gram-positive bacteria.Enzymatic Lysis Buffer was prepared by 20 mM Tris, pH 8.0; 2 mM Na2-EDTA, pH 8.0; and 1.2% Triton X-100. 121°C sterilization for 20 minutes, and the appropriate amount of Lysozyme was added at a final concentration of 20 mg/ml. Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. Add 1.25ml Proteinase K Storage Buffer to Proteinase K to dissolve it and store it at -20℃. Do not leave the prepared Proteinase K at room temperature for a long time, and avoid repeated freezing and thawing to avoid affecting its activity.2. Repeated freezing and thawing of the sample should be avoided, as this may result in smaller DNA fragments and a decrease in the amount of extracted DNA.3. If extracting genomes from bacterial cultures with high accumulation of secondary metabolites or thick cell walls, it is recommended that samples be collected early in the logarithmic phase.4. 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.5. Before use, please check Buffer GTL and Buffer GL for crystallization or precipitation. If crystallization or precipitation occurs, please re-dissolve Buffer GL and Buffer GTL in a 56℃ water bath.6. If the downstream experiments are sensitive to RNA contamination, 4µl of DNase-Free RNase A (100mg/ml) can be added before adding Buffer GL. RNase A is not provided in this kit.If the extracted samples are Gram-positive bacteria, customers need to prepare their own Enzymatic Lysis Buffer to treat the bacteria, which requires the use of Lysozyme (lysozyme) at a concentration of 20 mg/ml, which is not provided in this kit.Procedurei Extraction of genomic DNA from Gram-negative bacteria1. Take 1-5 ml of bacterial culture (106-108 cells, maximum 2×109 cells) and put it into a centrifuge tube (provided), centrifuge it at 12,000 rpm (~13,400×g) for 1 minute, and aspirate the supernatant as much as possible.2. Add 180 µl Buffer GTL to the precipitate and shake to resuspend the bacteria.3. Add 20 µl of Proteinase K, vortex and mix well, incubate at 56°C until the solution becomes clear, and invert or shake the centrifuge tube at intervals during the incubation to disperse the sample.Note: If RNA removal is required, add 4 µl of RNase A solution at a concentration of 100 mg/ml after the above steps are completed, shake to mix, and leave for 5-10 minutes at room temperature.4. Add 200µl Buffer GL and mix well with vortexing and shaking. Add 200µl of anhydrous ethanol and mix well with vortexing and shaking.Centrifuge briefly so that the solution on the walls of the tube collects at the bottom.Note: 1) If multiple samples are manipulated together, Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol can be mixed in equal proportions and then added together, shaking to mix.2) The addition of Buffer GL and anhydrous ethanol may produce a white precipitate that will not affect subsequent experiments.5. Add all of the solution obtained in step 4 (including the precipitate formed) to the Spin Columns DM in the collection tube, or if the solution cannot be added all at once, transfer it several times. centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste solution, and return the column to the collection tube.6. Add 500 µl of Buffer GW1 to the adsorption column (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and return the adsorption column to the collection tube.7. Add 500 µl of Buffer GW2 to the adsorption column (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Note: Step 7 can be repeated if further DNA purity is required.8. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 2 minutes and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube. Leave the adsorbent column at room temperature for several minutes to dry thoroughly. Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorbent column; ethanol residue can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions (digestion, PCR, etc.).9. Place the adsorption column in a new centrifuge tube, add 50-200 µl Buffer GE to the middle part of the adsorption column overhanging the center of the adsorption column, leave it at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge it at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, collect the DNA solution, and store the DNA at -20 ℃. note: 1) If the downstream experiments are sensitive to the pH or EDTA, the elution can be done with sterilized water. The pH of the elution solution has a great influence on the elution efficiency. If water is used as the elution solution it should be ensured that its pH is 7.0-8.5 (the pH of water can be adjusted to this range with NaOH), and the elution efficiency is not high when the pH is lower than 7.0.2) Incubation at room temperature for 5 minutes prior to centrifugation increases yield.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 obtained in step 9 can be re-spiked onto the adsorbent membrane and step 9 repeated; if the elution volume is less than 200 µl, the final concentration of DNA can be increased, but the total yield may be reduced. If the amount of DNA is less than 1 µg, elution with 50 µl Buffer GE or sterilized water is recommended.(5) DNA stored in water will be affected by acidic hydrolysis. For long-term storage, it is recommended to elute with Buffer GE and store at -20℃.i. Extraction of genomic DNA from Gram-positive bacteria1.

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.

Suitable for extracting total RNA with improved purity from paraffin embedded tissues or sections less than 30mg. This kit does not require the use of phenol/chloroform extraction or isopropanol precipitation, and can complete the extraction of multiple samples within one hour. This product uses specially optimized lysis solution and protease K to release RNA from formalin fixed or tissue slice samples without overnight operation; After digestion, the sample is incubated at a higher temperature to remove the inhibitory effect caused by formalin cross-linking, effectively releasing RNA from tissue slices and avoiding endangering RNA integrity; The optimized buffer system allows RNA in the lysis solution to specifically bind to the silica gel adsorption membrane, while other pollutants can flow through the membrane; It can be effectively removed through rinsing steps, and the washed RNA can be directly used for experiments such as RT-PCR, Real Time PCR, and Western blot analysis.Self prepared reagents: anhydrous ethanol (newly opened or dedicated for RNA extraction), 10mM PBS (pH 7.4).Preparation and important precautions before the experiment1. Add 0.625ml Protein K Storage Buffer to Protein K to dissolve it and store at -20 ℃. The prepared Protein K should not be left at room temperature for a long time to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which may affect its activity.2. To prevent RNase pollution, attention should be paid to the following aspects:1) Use RNase free plastic products and gun heads to avoid cross contamination.2) Glassware should be dry baked at a high temperature of 180 ℃ for 4 hours before use, while plastic containers can be soaked in 0.5M NaOH for 10 minutes, thoroughly rinsed with water, and then sterilized under high pressure.3) Prepare the solution using water without RNase.4) Operators should wear disposable masks and gloves, and change gloves frequently during the experiment.3. After obtaining the sample, it should be fixed in 4% -10% formalin as soon as possible, with a suitable fixation time of 14-24 hours. Excessive time can lead to RNA breakage and affect downstream experiments.4. Ensure that the sample before embedding is thoroughly dehydrated, as residual formalin will inhibit the action of Protein K.5. Before the first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer RW2 according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.Before use, please check if there is any crystallization or precipitation in Buffer GTL, Buffer GL, and Buffer DS. If there is any crystallization or precipitation, please dissolve Buffer GTL, Buffer GL, and Buffer DS again in a 56 ℃ water bath.Operation steps1. Sample processing1a. Paraffin embedded sample: Use a surgical knife to trim off excess paraffin from the tissue block, expose the tissue, and cut into 5-10 µ m thin slices.Attention: If the surface of the sample has already been exposed to air, please discard 2-3 pieces that come into contact with the air and do not use them.1b. Samples in fixed solutions such as formalin: Take approximately 20mg of the sample, cut it into small pieces, place it in a centrifuge tube, and add 500 µ 10mM PBS (PH7.4), vortex oscillation, centrifugation at 12000 rpm (~13400 × g) for 1 minute, discard the supernatant, repeat 3 times, and proceed directly to step 3.2. Choose option A or option B to remove paraffinOption AA1. Take approximately 1 × 1cm2 of slices (4-5 slices in total) and place them in a centrifuge tube (prepared by oneself), then add 500 slices µ L Buffer DS, vortex oscillation for 10 seconds. Incubate at 56 ° C for 3 minutes.Centrifuge at A2.12000 rpm for 2 minutes, be careful to discard the supernatant and avoid attracting sediment.Option BB1. Take approximately 4-5 slices of approximately 1 × 1 cm2 and place them in a centrifuge tube (self prepared). Add 1ml of xylene, cover the tube tightly, and vortex for 10 seconds.B2.Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 minutes, be careful to remove the supernatant and avoid removing sediment.B3. Add 1ml of anhydrous ethanol, vortex and shake well. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 minutes, discard the supernatant, and be careful not to absorb or discard the sediment.B4. Open the tube cover and incubate at room temperature or up to 37 ° C for 10 minutes until there is no ethanol residue.3. Add 150µ L Buffer GTL, resuspended precipitation; Join 10µl Protein K, vortex oscillation mixing.4.Incubate at 56 ℃ for 15 minutes until the sample is completely dissolved. Incubate at 80 ℃ for 15 minutes. Short centrifugation allows the solution on the tube wall to be collected to the bottom of the tube.Note: 1) The purpose of this step is to repair nucleic acids denatured by formaldehyde. Incubating at a high temperature or for too long may cause RNA breakage, resulting in RNA fragments.2) The sample incubated at 56 ℃ can be placed at room temperature until the temperature of the water or dry bath reaches 80 ℃, and then the sample can be incubated at 80 ℃.5. Place on ice for 3 minutes, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 15 minutes, transfer the supernatant to a new centrifuge tube, be careful not to suck sediment.6. Add 320 to the supernatant µ L Buffer GL, vortex oscillation thoroughly mixed.7. Join 720 µ Mix anhydrous ethanol thoroughly with vortex oscillation.Attention: After adding anhydrous ethanol, there may be a small amount of precipitate precipitation, but it does not affect subsequent operations.8. Add all the solutions obtained in step 7 to the spin columns RS that have been loaded into the collection tube. If the solution cannot be added at once, it can be transferred multiple times. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Optional steps: If genomic DNA needs to be removed, the following steps can be followeda. Add 350 to the adsorption column µ L Buffer RW1, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid, and place the adsorption column back into the recovery manifold.b.

Add 500 to the adsorption column µ Buffer RW2 (check if anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.10. Repeat step 9.Centrifuge at 11.12000 rpm for 2 minutes and discard the waste liquid from the collection tube. Place the adsorption column at room temperature for a few minutes to thoroughly air dry.Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column, which will affect subsequent enzymatic reactions (such as enzyme digestion, PCR, etc.).12. Place the adsorption column in a new RNase free centrifuge tube, and add 20-50µl to the middle of the adsorption column in the air Place RNase Free Water at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, collect RNA solution, and store RNA at -20 ℃.Note: 1) The volume of RNase Free Water should not be less than 20 µ l. Small volume affects the recovery rate. 2) If you want to increase RNA production, you can use 20-50 µ Repeat step 12 for the new RNase Free Water.3) If you want to increase the RNA concentration, you can add the obtained solution back to the adsorption column and repeat step 12...
