Efficient, leaf punch tools for quick, precise field sampling. For use with the 3CR Bio Leaf Sample Collection Kit.
BASIC LEAF CUTTING TOOL
The 3CR Bio Basic Leaf Cutting Tool is a lightweight, easy-to-use, low-cost punch designed for precise sampling of thin or soft materials, ideal for fieldwork. This tool is expertly designed to core, punch, and retrieve samples from thin or soft source materials such as leaves. The tool comprises a convenient, hollow plastic pen-style holder, mounted with a durable stainless steel cutting tip at one end. It features an internal push-button-operated plunger for safe and efficient sample disc ejection. The tool produces a precise ¼ inch diameter disc, making it ideal for detailed sampling tasks. For best results, clean the cutting tip between each sample extraction by coring blank filter paper or rinsing with water or ethanol. This low-cost leaf punch is lightweight, easy to use, and perfect for fieldwork.
ADVANCED LEAF CUTTING TOOL
The 3CR Bio Advanced Leaf Cutting Tool is designed to streamline and enhance your sampling process. This high-precision leaf tissue punch produces a single ¼ inch diameter disc effortlessly. It features a unique mechanism that securely holds a standard snap-top or screw-top 2 mL storage tube in a fixed position, allowing the sample to be received without any need for touching or manipulation. Ideal for fieldwork, this advanced leaf punch significantly reduces effort and time when performing multiple samplings, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in every use.

Listeria monocytogenes have emerged as significant foodborne pathogens that pose a serious public health problem. As the causative agent of Listeriosis, L. monocytogenes has the highest rate of fatality rate among all foodborne pathogens. L. monocytogenes is a facultatively intracellular, Gram-positive bacterium that could survive high and low temperatures, low pH. It is a rare causative agent of mastitis in cow. However, due to its ability to resist various food processing technologies as well as to grow at low temperature, L. monocytogenes is know to be associated with both raw and pasteurized milk, as well as dairy products such as cheese. As little as 1000 organisms may cause the disease with pregnant, new-born, and immunocompromised individuals the most susceptible.

AchE Inhibitor Screening Kit (Colorimetric) provides a rapid, simple, sensitive, and reliable test suitable for high-throughput screening of AchE inhibitors.
ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE (EC 3.1.1.7, AChE), also known as RBC cholinesterase, is found primarily in the blood and neural synapses. AChE catalyzes the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid, a reaction necessary to allow a cholinergic neuron to return to its resting state after activation. Inhibition of the enzyme leads to acetylcholine accumulation, hyperstimulation of nicotinic and muscarinic receptors, and disrupted neurotransmission. AChE inhibition is an important target for the management of Alzheimer’s disease. In addition to Alzheimer’s disease, AChE inhibitors have been useful in the diagnosis or treatment of diseases such as glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, bladder distention, and more.
The Attogene Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor Assay is based on an improved Ellman method, in which thiocholine produced by the action of acetylcholinesterase forms a yellow color with 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). The intensity of the product color, measured at 412nm, is proportionate to the enzyme activity in the sample.
The Acetylcholinesterase Assay Kit provides a convenient method for the detecting AChE activity and screening for inhibitors.
The kit uses DTNB to quantify the thiolcholine produced from the hydrolysis of acetylthiolcholine by AChE.
