Novel method
The β-Glucan Assay Kit (Yeast and Mushroom) is suitable for the indirect measurement of 1,3:1,6-β-glucan in yeast and mushroom preparations containing starch, glycogen, sucrose and trehalose.
We are happy to announce a new and improved procedure!
Trehalase enzyme has now been added to the β-Glucan Assay Kit (Yeast and Mushroom), further increasing the accuracy of β-glucan measurement for certain samples. The addition of trehalase removes instances of overestimation of β-glucan content in samples containing trehalose. Please refer to the assay protocol and the FAQ here for more information.
This product replaces the Enzymatic Yeast β-Glucan Assay Kit (K-EBHLG) as the method of measurement for β-glucan measurement in yeast samples. See here for more information.
All reagents stable for > 12 months after preparation

Product Info
DBCO-PEG5-TFP Ester is an amine-reactive, labeling reagent used to modify proteins, antibodies, and other amine-containing biopolymers. The hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer arm provides a long and flexible connection that minimizes steric hindrance involved with ligation to complementary azide-containing molecules.

DBCO-PEG4-alcohol is a PEG linker containing a DBCO moiety and a terminal primary hydroxyl group. The hydroxyl can react with a variety of functional groups and the hydrophilic PEG spacer arm can provide better solubility to labeled molecules. DBCO is commonly used for copper-free Click Chemistry reactions. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

HiPure Bacterial RNA Kit uses silica gel column purification to simplify the extraction. The whole process does not require phenol chloroform extraction and time-consuming alcohol precipitation. The kit is suitable for efficiently extracting RNA from various bacterial samples. The purified RNA can be directly used for RT-PCR, Northern hybridization, etc. The kit has included lysozyme and glass beads, which can be used to treat gram-negative bacteria which is easy to be lysed, as well as gram-positive bacteria which is hard to be lysed, including enterococcus faecalis, staphylococcus, etc.

Principle
Hipure silica gel column is based on glass fiber filter membrane with high binding force. Under the condition of high concentration of ionizing agent (such as guanidine hydrochloride or guanidine isothiocyanate), the filter membrane can adsorb nucleic acid through hydrogen bond and electrostatic, while protein and other impurities are not adsorbed and removed. The filter membrane adsorbed with nucleic acid is washed to remove the residual protein and salt. Finally, the nucleic acid adsorbed on the filter membrane can be washed out with low salt buffer (such as buffer TE) or water. The obtained nucleic acid has high purity and can be directly used in various downstream experiments.
Advantages
Fast – several samples can be extracted in 30 minutes
High purity – the purified RNA can be directly used in various downstream applications
High recovery – RNA can be recovered at the level of PG
Good repeatability – silica gel column purification technology can obtain ideal results every time
Broad spectrum – it can deal with various bacteria, including Gram-positive bacteria that are difficult to be lysed
Sufficient components – the kit contains carried lysozyme and glass beads

Storage and Stability
The kit components can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. Due to the lack of antibacterial agents, RNase Free Water may be contaminated by bacterial or fungal when placed or operated at room temperature. It is recommended to pack and store at 2-8°C to reduce contamination.
