Description

The FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye is designed to be a safer replacement for conventional Ethidium bromide (EtBr) which poses a significant health and safety hazard for its users. The FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye offers at least 10 times sensitivity in DNA detection levels, and is capable of detecting double stranded DNA (dsDNA) fragments up to 0.04 ng in electrophoresis analysis. The FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye shows a high specificity to the dsDNA, with negligible background signal, making the destaining process entirely optional. FluoroStain™ DNA Fluorescent Staining Dye is compatible with both the conventional ultra violet gel-illuminating systems as well as the less harmful long wave length blue light illumination systems. The emission when bound to dsDNA is 522 nm, while its excitation peaks are at 270, 370 and 497 nm.

Features:

• Excellent for post staining
• Sensitivity: 0.04 ng DNA
• A safer alternative to EtBr
• Compatibility: suitable to blue or UV light
• Increased cloning efficiency (blue light)

Storage

Protected from light
4°C for 12 months
-20°C for 24 months

Introducing the Fastin Assay Kit: Your Straightforward Solution for Elastin Quantification! Our user-friendly kit utilizes a dye-based method to measure elastin from in-vivo and in-vitro sources. It can be used to quantify various elastin forms, spanning from immature tropoelastin to mature, ‘insoluble’ elastin fibers.

Colorimetric Detection (513nm) (Endpoint)

Understanding Elastin: The Key to Tissue Flexibility

Tissues like lungs and arteries must maintain the ability to stretch and recoil repeatedly throughout an organism’s life. Elastin, a mature protein, is responsible for this elasticity and is usually present as insoluble fibers within the ECM. During development, these fibers are initially formed from a soluble precursor called tropoelastin.

‍What is the Fastin Assay?

The Biocolor Fastin assay is a user-friendly, dye-based means of quantifying elastins derived from both in-vivo and in-vitro sources. A variety of elastin forms can be assayed, from immature tropoelastin to mature ‘insoluble’ elastin fibres.

Further information on how the assay works can be found on the ‘Mode of Action‘ tab.

A list of suggested sample types can be found under the ‘Assay Specification‘ tab.

How does the Fastin assay detect Elastin?

The Fastin Dye Reagent contains an elastin-binding synthetic porphyrin, TPPS (5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl- 21H,23H-porphine). This affinity of TPPS for elastin was first observed when used as a ‘vital stain’ on live animals. Most tissues took up the dye initially but only elastin retained the TPPS molecules over time. [Winkelman, J. (1962), Cancer Res. 22, 589-596; Winkelman, J & Spicer, S. (1962), Stain Technol. 37, 303-305].

It has been proposed that the elastin binding of TPPS may be due to the retention of the acidic dye (which contains four charged sulfate groups) by the basic amino acid side chain residues of elastin.

‍How does the Fastin assay work?

Step 1. Incubation of samples containing soluble elastin with the Fastin Dye Reagent causes an elastin-dye complex to form. This insoluble complex then precipiates.

Step 2. Dye-labelled elastin is then isolated by centrifugation and the unbound dye removed. Elastin-bound dye is then eluted and measured spectrophotometrically.

Step 3. The elastin content of unknown samples can be calculated by comparison against a calibration curve prepared using a standard comprising water-soluble elastin (supplied with the kit).

Assay range

50 – 500µg/ml

Limit of Detection

50µg/ml

Detection Method

Colorimetric Detection (513nm) (Endpoint)

Measurements per kit

110 in total (allows a maximum of 48 samples to be run in duplicate alongside a standard curve).

Suitable Samples

In-vivo: tissues and fluids. Insoluble elastin will first require conversion to water soluble α-elastin using the oxalic acid reagents and extraction protocol supplied with the kit.  

In-vitro: Elastin produced by cells during 2D/3D cell culture. NB elastin in conditioned cell media is typically below the detection limit of the kit.

‍

Precautions

This kit is designed for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Kit requires access to a centrifuge, heated water bath or block, as well as a spectrophotometer or colorimeter capable of absorbance detection at 513nm.
Specific sample preparation protocols may require customer to provide further reagents, consult assay manual for further information.

Sample type purification kit guide 

The 16S V2-V3 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the 16S V2-V3 amplicon libraries to be used for next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. All molecular reagents including primers, enzyme mixes, indexes, and buffers are provided. Instructions for PCR clean up with the AMPure XP Magnetic Beads (supplied by customer) are also included for rapid purification of nucleic acid products generated at two steps of the workflow. The library prep workflow could be used for purified DNA inputs from different sources including stool, soil, water, saliva, plant, urine, skin swab, vaginal swab, cheek swab, nasal swab, plasma/serum, tongue swab, gum swab, and others.

The 16S V2-V3 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina has a streamlined procedure that reduces the handling time such that the library prep procedure can be completed in approximately 4 hours (see diagram below). Input DNA is first subjected to targeted PCR to amplify the V2-V3 region of the DNA encoding 16S rRNA. The post-PCR reaction is then cleaned up using AMPure XP beads. Dual index primers are then added using a limited-cycle PCR. The indexed amplicons flanked by 5′ and 3′ barcoded adaptors are then cleaned using AMPure XP beads. The libraries are then ready for quantification, pooling and sequencing.
