Solution Preparation of Tris Buffer, CAS77-86-1

Trimethylolaminomethane Tris, namely aminobutriol, also known as bradycardic acid amine, is a kind of ternary alcohol containing amino group, which has weak alkalinity. It is usually used with weak acid as Good’s buffer and widely used in biochemical detection and kits in biochemistry and molecular biology.   Good's buffer Tris powder   Physical and chemical properties of Tris English name: Trometamol Molecular weight: 121.135 Molecular formula: (HOCH2)3CNH2 Appearance: white crystal powder Solubility: soluble in water and ethanol, slightly soluble in ethyl acetate and benzene, insoluble in ether and carbon tetrachloride. pKa: 8.1 at room temperature, pH10.5 in aqueous solution Buffer range: 7.0~9.2 Tris buffer is usually used as a solvent for nucleic acids and proteins. Because the carbon atom at position 2 of Tris is connected with amino group, and the aqueous solution is alkaline, when DNA dissolves in this solution, it will be deprotonated, so as to improve the solubility. As a buffer, Tris is usually used with weak acid, such as hydrochloric acid or Tris HCl salt. In addition to HCl, it is often used with acetic acid and boric acid, as well as glycine in electrophoresis buffer.   Tris HCl buffer Weigh the required mass according to the molecular weight of Tris (commonly used concentration is 1~2M), prepare an aqueous solution, and then slowly add concentrated hydrochloric acid to adjust to the required pH value. Note that when the prepared solution is alkaline, it will absorb the acid gas CO2 in the air, and the bottle cap needs to be closed tightly; when adjusting the pH, the solution needs to be cooled to room temperature, and the solution is sensitive to temperature. When the pH value is increased by 1℃, the pH value will drop by 0.03, otherwise, it will change when it is cooled to room temperature after adjusting the pH value.   TE buffer Tris EDTA buffer, commonly used in molecular biological reagents, dissolves DNA. The commonly used concentration is 10-100mM, and the molar concentration of EDTA is one tenth of it. Hydrochloric acid regulates the pH to the required value.   TAE buffer: TrisAcetateEDTA, where acetic acid is used instead of hydrochloric acid.   TBE buffer: Tris+Borate+EDTA, adjust pH and replace hydrochloric acid with boric acid.   Tris-Gly buffer: adjust pH and replace hydrochloric acid with glycine. TBS buffer: In addition to Tris base, salt NaCl and a small amount of KCl should be added to the solution, and the pH should be adjusted with concentrated hydrochloric acid   TBST buffer: add 0.1% Tween 20 to TBS.   Besides being used as DNA, protein lysis buffer, electrophoretic buffer and SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis, Tris can also react with carbonic acid as humic acid amine in body fluid, generate bicarbonate, absorb hydrogen ions and correct acidemia, and have strong action and can penetrate cell membrane. Tris produced by Desheng is mainly used for Good’s buffer and mass export for further refining.
Latest company new about Application of PEP in the kit (CAS 35556-70-8)

Application of PEP in the kit (CAS 35556-70-8)

PEP, namely phosphoenolpyruvate, is a very important substance in all life activities. It participates in many biochemical processes such as cell respiration and photosynthesis. The reagent we produce refers to its salt, phosphoenolpyruvate tricyclohexamine salt reagent.   Physical and chemical properties of PEP salt English name: Phosphoenolpyruvic acid tricyclohexylammonium salt Molecular weight: 465.56 Molecular formula: C21H44N306P Molecular structure   Application of serum carbon dioxide determination kit In the chloroplast, PEP can absorb carbon dioxide and convert it to oxaloacetate under the catalytic action of PEP carboxylase (carboxykinase). This process is the core of photosynthesis. The efficiency of PEP carboxylase to fix CO2 is very high, and the reaction is very sensitive. With this feature, the content of trace carbon dioxide in serum can be determined, and the activity of PEP carboxylase in plant samples or serum or plasma can also be measured.                                                                CO2 fixation process of PEP in photosynthesis   Determination principle PEP and bicarbonate (the form of serum CO2) are catalyzed by enzyme to produce oxaloacetate. Oxaloacetate and NADH are catalyzed by malate dehydrogenase MDH to produce malate malate. NADH (nicotinamide) is measured with a spectrophotometer The reduced state of adenine dinucleotide, reduced coenzyme I) The absorbance at 340nm is attenuated, and the amount of attenuation is proportional to the concentration of CO2, thereby measuring the serum CO2 content. Similarly, the enzyme activity can be measured according to the rate of change of absorbance when a certain amount of CO2 is generated, that is, a reagent kit for measuring the activity of a sample PEP carboxylase.   PEP is used in cell protectants and antioxidants In cellular respiration, PEP participates in the last step of glycolysis, which is converted to pyruvate after removing high-energy phosphate groups. In the process of organ tissue refrigeration, it can reduce the oxidative stress and ATP consumption of tissue cells, reduce organ damage, and prolong the preservation time of clinical organs.   The use of PEP salt is not limited to this. Due to its carbon dioxide absorption and cell glycolysis characteristics, many applications are still under development. Desheng Technology's mature reagent is PEP tricyclohexylamine salt, mainly used Kit for carbon dioxide determination and PEP carboxylase activity determination.
Latest company new about Potential Protective Agent for Organ Transplantation-PEP (CAS35556-70-8)
2020/05/11

Potential Protective Agent for Organ Transplantation-PEP (CAS35556-70-8)

Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is a glycolysis intermediate. Phosphoric acid is a glycolysis metabolite with a high-energy phosphate group. After dephosphorylation, PEP is converted to pyruvate, which can penetrate cell membranes With cell protection and antioxidant activity, it can be used as a cell protection agent and antioxidant in the liver of cold-preserved mice and a potential organ protection agent.   Its cell protection effect is mainly reflected in the following aspects 1. PEP (0.1-10 mM) significantly attenuated the hydrogen peroxide-induced reduction in cell viability in HeLa cells in a dose-dependent manner.   2. PEP also inhibited the decrease of calcein-acetylmethoxy-stained cells and the increase of propidium iodide-stained cells induced by hydrogen peroxide. The increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species stimulated by hydrogen peroxide was significantly reduced.   3. Evaluation by electron paramagnetic resonance method also shows the potential of PEP to scavenge hydroxyl radicals.   4. In addition, PEP has the potential to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-pyridylmethylhydrazonyl radical (a representative artificial free radical), although the potential is small.   5. PEP (10 mM) slightly inhibited the reduction of H2O2-induced cellular ATP content, but did not show any effect at low doses (0.1, 1 mM).   6. PEP (0.1-10 mM) also reduced cell damage, but did not attenuate the decrease in intracellular ATP content induced by the glycolysis inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose.   These results indicate that PEP exerts a cytoprotective effect and has antioxidant potential, although the exact cytoprotective mechanism has not been fully elucidated. However, we believe that PEP is a functional carbohydrate metabolite with cell protection and antioxidant activity, and may be used as a therapeutic agent against diseases involving oxidative stress.   In addition, the PEP produced by Desheng company can also be used to determine the content of CO2 in the biochemical kit. The content of CO2 reflects the metabolic acid-base balance in the body. It can also be used for the auxiliary diagnosis of diseases such as pyloric obstruction, Cushing's syndrome, taking too many alkaline drugs and respiratory acidosis.

The Differences of HEPES in Different Experiments

HEPES is a kind of hydrogen ion amphoteric buffer with good buffer ability and long time to maintain pH constant. It is widely used in nucleic acid reaction buffer, hybridization buffer and cell culture medium. According to its characteristics, there are some differences in the configuration of buffer in different experiments.   Physical and chemical properties of HEPES 2-[4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethanesulfonic acid CAS No.: 7365-45-9 Molecular formula: C8H18N2O4S Molecular weight: 238.3 Buffer range: 6.8-8.2 Molecular Structure: HEPES mother liquor (buffer stock): directly prepare 0.5-1m HEPES solution and NaOH solution, control the mixing ratio of the two to adjust the pH, and then use distilled water or ultra pure water to fix the volume. If necessary, NaOH can be replaced by KOH. HEPES buffer salt solution: add a small amount of sodium chloride and disodium hydrogen phosphate into HEPES solution, then add NaOH aqueous solution, adjust pH, add distilled water for constant volume, and store at low temperature.   HEPES cell culture medium: add a small amount of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, disodium hydrogen phosphate, dextran, etc. into HEPES aqueous solution, then adjust the pH with NaOH solution, and finally store at a constant volume and low temperature. In cell adhesion experiments, calcium and magnesium ions are usually added to HEPES culture medium to protect the cadherin of cells and not affect the formation of cell aggregation.   HA solution: HEPES-BSA cell culture medium, which is one of the components of cell culture medium, does not contain calcium and magnesium ions, and contains some other salt ions. After the treatment of filtration bacteria, it is mostly suitable for cleaning and culture in primary culture of tissue cells.   The above is the application difference of HEPES buffer developed and produced by Desheng in different experiments. In addition, the non inactivated virus preservation solution newly developed by the company also contains HEPES buffer. Because it has no toxic effect on cells, it not only maintains pH, but also increases the in vitro survival time of virus host cells after sampling, retains the integrity of virus nucleic acid and protein to the greatest extent, and improves the detection accuracy.
Latest company new about Differences and Precautions between Biological Buffer MOPS and MES Buffer

Differences and Precautions between Biological Buffer MOPS and MES Buffer

Biological buffer solutions play a crucial role in biochemical experiments, as they can stabilize the pH value and ensure the accuracy and reliability of experimental results. Among numerous biological buffers, MOPS buffer(3-morpholinepropane sulfonic acid) and MES (2-morpholineethanesulfonic acid) are two commonly used buffers that play unique roles in experiments. Next, we will conduct a detailed comparative analysis of these two buffer solutions and explore the precautions to be taken during use. Firstly, let's take a look at MOPS buffer. MOPS buffer, also known as 3-morpholine-propanesulfonic acid buffer, is a widely used buffer in biochemical experiments. Its buffer range is between 6.5 and 7.9, which is ideal for many biochemical experiments. MOPS buffer exhibits excellent performance in electron transfer and phosphorylation studies of chloroplast thin layer preparation, as it can provide a stable pH environment that facilitates the progress of these biochemical reactions. In addition, MOPS is also commonly used as a protein purification chromatography buffer to help scientists separate and purify target proteins from complex biological samples. MOPS buffer also plays an indispensable role in biochemical diagnostic kits, such as DNA/RNA extraction kits, PCR kits, and kits for measuring creatinine. Next, let's take a look at MES buffer. MES buffer, also known as 2-morpholine ethanesulfonic acid, is a commonly used biological buffer. Its buffer range is between 5.5 and 6.7, which makes it suitable for some biochemical experiments that require acidic environments. The pKa value of MES buffer is close to physiological pH, which gives it a unique advantage in certain biological studies. For example, MES buffer is often used as mobile phase component in the experiment of separation of brain tubulin by active amino gel chromatographic column. In addition, since MES cannot be absorbed when passing through the cell membrane and can penetrate ultraviolet light, this type of biological buffer is commonly used for plant cell culture. So, what should be noted when using these two types of buffers? Firstly, as both MOPS and MES are zwitterionic buffers, it is necessary to pay attention to their charge states during use. When the dosage of MOPS is low, it can usually be used after appropriate packaging. In addition, biological buffer is prone to discoloration when exposed to light. If the color of MOPS buffer turns light yellow, it can usually still be used; But if the color is too dark, it should not be used again. When using these two types of buffer solutions, special attention should also be paid to safety issues. Although biological buffer may seem harmless, improper use may pose a risk to experimenters. Therefore, experimental clothing and disposable gloves should be worn during the operation process. If the buffer accidentally splashes into the eyes or comes into contact with it, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention as soon as possible. In summary, MOPS and MES are two commonly used biological buffers that play important roles in biochemical experiments. When selecting a buffer solution, it is necessary to determine the required buffer range and buffer capacity based on the specific needs of the experiment. In addition, attention should be paid to safety issues and disinfection of used containers, water, and other additives during use to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment and the accuracy of the results. As a professional biochemical reagent manufacturer, our independently developed and produced high-quality buffer solutions have always been trusted by customers, enterprises, and individuals.

Physicochemical Properties and Application of α-glucosidase

α-glucosidase (EC.3.2.1.20), that is, α-D-glucoside glucose hydrolase, also known as glucosyltransferase GTase, its uses are very wide, including food and fermentation industry, chemical industry and medical applications, is a very promising enzyme preparation.   Enzymatic properties Glucosidase is widely present in animals, plants, bacteria and fungi, as long as it has carbohydrates as an energy source and has organisms with cell structures. There are two types of hydrolytic enzymes because the glucosidic bonds are classified into α-type and β-type. Among them, the hydrolysis of α-glucosidase can cut the α-1,4 glycosidic bond from the non-reducing ends of α-glucoside, oligosaccharides and dextran to release glucose; Glucose residues are transferred to another glucose or maltose substrate with α-1,6 glycosidic bonds, thereby obtaining non-fermentable isomaltose IMO.   The physiological significance of enzymes α-glucosidase can hydrolyze oligosaccharides such as maltose and sucrose in the small intestine into glucose, and participate in regulating glucose metabolism and fat production in the body. In animal cells, α-glucosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycogen to glucose in the lysosome, and participates in the metabolism of glycogen (glycogen is a branched polysaccharide formed by the combination of glucose and is a glucose in animal cells Main storage situation, glycogen is hydrolyzed first when hungry, followed by fat).     Application of enzyme preparation 1. Because of its key role in the metabolism of sugar in animal cells, recombinant human acid α-glucosidase is usually used to treat Pompe disease. 2. Used in the synthesis of functional oligosaccharides, using the transglycoside activity of α-glucosidase to synthesize energy oligoglucans, oligomalto-oligosaccharides, oligomeric isomaltose, oligo-cellulose oligosaccharides, etc. Functional sugars as prebiotics. 3. α-glucosidase can be used to screen active natural drugs. It can be seen that α-glucosidase is a very important enzyme involved in sugar metabolism in organisms, and its enzyme activity is also an important indicator for body detection and disease diagnosis. To this end, Desheng Technology is also constantly exploring and innovating in the application of enzyme preparations.
Latest company new about Application of Chromogenic Substrate DAOS in Detection of low Density Lipoprotein
2020/05/05

Application of Chromogenic Substrate DAOS in Detection of low Density Lipoprotein

The chromogenic substrate DAOS is a sodium sulfonate derivative containing aniline group, with CAS No 83777-30-4, which belongs to a very sensitive chromogenic reagent and is widely used in various biochemical reagents in biochemical kit, here is a brief introduction to its application in the low-density lipoprotein detection series of blood lipid detection.   In the blood, cholesterol is usually in the form of lipoprotein bound to apolipoprotein in a complex, which is divided into four types: high-density lipoprotein HDL, low-density lipoprotein LDL, very low-density lipoprotein VLDL and chylomicrons, of which LDL It is involved in transporting cholesterol to peripheral cells, and HDL is responsible for absorbing cholesterol from cells. At present, the detection of low-density lipoprotein is mainly to first monitor the total cholesterol content, high-density lipoprotein content and triglyceride content to calculate the LDL concentration. LDL-C=TC-HDL-C-TG/2.2(in mmol/L), (2) LDL-C=TC-HDL-C-TG/5(in mg/dl).   In the detection of total cholesterol, cholesterol ester is first hydrolyzed to cholesterol and fatty acid by cholesterol esterase CHE, and then it is oxidized to 4-cholesterenone by cholesterol oxidase to generate hydrogen peroxide, which is then coupled with DAOS and 4-AAP to generate chromogenic reaction with hydrogen peroxide under the catalysis of POD. The concentration of total cholesterol can be determined by measuring the absorbance.   In the detection of triglycerides, triglycerides are hydrolyzed to glycerol and fatty acids in the presence of LPL; glycerol and ATP generate glycerol-3-phosphate and ADP under the catalysis of GK; glycerol-3-phosphate and oxygen generate dihydroxyacetone phosphate and hydrogen peroxide under the catalysis of GPO, and then coupled with 4-APP with chromogenic substrate as in the above steps Hydrogen peroxide produces chromogenic reaction and TG concentration is measured.   In the detection of HDL, double reagent is used. The first reagent contains polyanion and surfactant, selectively combines with VLDL and LDL, and inhibits COD in the second reagent. CEH plays a role in VLDH-CH and LDH-CH, thus selectively acts on HDL-CH. through CEH-COD-POD, the concentration of HDL can be determined by measuring the absorbance. Finally, the LDL concentration can be obtained by calculation.   In a word, the chromogenic reagent DAOS is mainly used to generate chromogenic reaction with hydrogen peroxide generated after a series of enzyme catalytic reactions with the target to be tested. In addition, kits produced by some company use ESPAS and ADPS as chromogenic substrate. This series developed by Desheng has other chromogenic substrates, which can be used for different biochemical tests according to their characteristics.
Latest company new about What are the main components of the virus transportation media?

What are the main components of the virus transportation media?

Viruses are a kind of microorganisms closely related to our human health. They are invisible to bacteria and fungi, but from the most common cold viruses to the dreaded HIV and new coronaviruses, the research on viruses is extremely urgent and important. Since the virus is a non-cellular organism, it must be parasitized in living cells, and the virus transportation media is needed after leaving the cell after sampling.   The virus transportation media we are talking about here is mainly for the extraction and detection of the nucleic acid of the virus. The integrity of the virus or the virus nucleic acid is preserved within a certain period of time, and then sent to the testing center to test whether the sample contains virus to diagnose whether the test object is infected. The virus transportation media is divided into inactivated type and activated type, and its components are also different. The following describes their main components and their key roles.   Inactivated virus transportation media: 1.High concentration of guanidine salt can not only quickly destroy the cell membrane of the virus host cell, but also denature the protein, make the virus protein denature and precipitate, so that the nucleic acid can get rid of the protein entanglement. Extract nucleic acid DNA or RNA, and can inhibit nuclease. Since only viral nucleic acid is used for detection, this type of sampling tube can be stored at low temperature for one week after sampling. 2. EDTA and Tris mainly use the characteristics of EDTA to complex metal ions such as calcium, magnesium and iron to prevent metal ions from activating proteases and reduce the impact on nucleic acid quality. 3. RNAse inhibitors are mainly aimed at RNA viruses. Nucleic acids are better preserved than active viruses, but will degrade quickly in the presence of ribonuclease.   Activated virus transportation media: 1. Hanks solution is mainly made of various inorganic salts, buffers, glucose, 0.4% phenol red under sterilization conditions, consistent with the pH value, osmotic pressure and sterile conditions of the cell growth state, so that the virus host cells Survival time is extended. 2. Gentamicin and fungal antibiotics are antibacterial and antifungal, respectively. 3. BSA (V) bovine serum protein stabilizes the virus protein shell and forms a protective film to make it difficult to decompose. 4. HEPES buffer and a variety of amino acids to maintain the virus adapt to pH and increase its survival time. 5. Cryoprotectant to maintain the stability and integrity of the virus when the temperature is too low.   The components of the virus transportation media of different manufacturers may be slightly different. The above is a reference provided by Desheng’s products. Some businesses may be suspected of excessive publicity. This type of virus transportation media is used for nucleic acid detection or antibody detection of virus samples. It is recommended that the user should test as soon as possible after sampling or store in strict low temperature to ensure that the test is accurate.
Latest company new about Shelf life of virus transportation media

Shelf life of virus transportation media

The virus transportation media is a liquid added to the sampling tube to prolong the virus preservation time. Afte sampling, the virus or virus nucleic acid can be kept relatively intact in the in vitro environment, which is convenient for subsequent nucleic acid extraction and detection. If the sample deterioration is directly affected the detection, especially the current epidemic situation at home and abroad, so the length of its storage time is very important.   Different types of virus transportation media have different storage times. Generally, before sampling, both inactivated and activated virus transportation media can be stored at room temperature for half a year or even a year, but the storage time after sampling is very short. This is because the storage time does not depend on the quality of the transportation media, but on the characteristics of the virus or nucleic acid itself. Some companies have suspected that they are over-promoting when promoting the preservation time of their products. This needs to be screened.   Biological virus is an individual and its tiny creatures, even smaller than fungi and bacteria. It must be parasitic in living cells and proliferate in a replicating way. It is a non-cellular organism. Therefore, no matter whether it is inactivated or activated, the virus can only survive for a short time after sampling. If there is no virus transportation media, the virus will be degraded in a few minutes outside the body. Since the sampling tube is mainly used for the detection of viral nucleic acid, although the inactivated transportation media cleaves the virus, the RNase inhibitor added inside can protect its nucleic acid, as long as the nucleic acid can be detected during the experiment Diagnosis.   Another important factor affecting virus retention time is temperature. In general, the inactivated transportation media only needs to protect the nucleic acid from being degraded. It can be stored at 4℃ for one week, -20℃ for one month, and -80℃ for one year (if it is a blood sample, you need to add EDTA, heparin, Anticoagulants such as sodium citrate). If the activated transportation media cannot be detected in time after sampling, it must be stored at a low temperature of 4℃, and the storage time should not exceed 48 hours.   All in all, the long-term storage of the virus in vitro requires that the virus be subcultured repeatedly in liquid nitrogen at -196℃ or in cell culture. After sampling, it cannot survive for a long time in the sampling tube, so it should be as soon as possible after sampling Submit for inspection. Desheng Technology is a manufacturer specializing in virus transportation media. Welcome enterprises and individuls to call us for further consultation.
Latest company new about Why is the virus transportation media divided into inactivated and non-inactivated?
2020/04/28

Why is the virus transportation media divided into inactivated and non-inactivated?

After the virus sample is collected, usually the sample collection place can not carry out PCR detection in time, so the collected virus swab sample needs to be transported, and the virus itself will soon be cleaved in vitro to affect subsequent detection, so it is stored and transported. At this time, it is necessary to add a virus transportation media, which is currently mainly divided into inactivated and activated types. For different detection purposes, different virus transportation media need to be used, and the two widely used transportation media have their own characteristics. In order to meet different testing requirements and different virus testing laboratory conditions, it is necessary to apply different virus transportation media.   Inactivated virus transportation media: It is mainly a modified virus lysate transportation media of nucleic acid extraction lysate. The high concentration of guanidine salt in the sample can effectively inactivate the virus, which can effectively prevent the operator's secondary infection, but also contains the Rnase inhibitor, which can protect the viral nucleic acid from being degraded, so that it can be detected by NT-PCR. Moreover, it can be stored for a relatively long time at normal temperature, saving the cost of virus sample storage and transportation.   Activated virus transportation media: It is mainly based on the modified virus maintenance liquid type transportation media. It can maintain the activity of the virus in vitro and the integrity of antigens and nucleic acids. It contains Hanks' liquid foundation, gentamicin, fungal antibiotics, BSA (V), cryoprotectants, biological buffers, and amino acids. Decomposition, to maintain the originality of the virus sample to a large extent. In addition to nucleic acid extraction and detection, this transportation meida can also be used for virus cultivation, isolation, and antigen detection. However, it must be kept at a strictly low temperature for long-term storage after sampling.   It can be seen that according to different situations, different types of transportation media have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, it should be noted that no matter whether it is an inactivated type or a activated type, the virus transportation tube before sampling must be strictly inactivated and sterilized to ensure that there are no other microorganisms in the tube, resulting in erroneous detection of virus decomposition or other effects after sampling.   After the swab is sampled, if you use a collection tool or transportation media of insufficient quality, it will affect the subsequent test results and even cause false positives for misdiagnosis. Therefore, it is recommended to use a high-quality virus transportation media, such as a professional biochemical reagent manufacturer like Desheng Technology In this aspect, it has rich R&D and management experience and is worthy of market trust!
