Megazyme’s catalase assay kit provides a simple colourimetric method for the measurement of catalase activity. The method is delivered in a fast and reliable format and may be used to detect catalase activity in various samples, including food, biological and bacterial samples. The calculation method included allows for significant variation in the concentration of the H2O2 substrate solution that is employed in the assay which translates into a reduction in the ‘hands on’ time required by the analyst in comparison to other commercial kits.

Product Info
Overview
Convenient optimized on-column DNase treatment using Norgen’s RNA Purification Kits
Also includes protocol for digestion in-solution followed by RNA Clean-Up
Guaranteed RNase-Free
Includes Enzyme Incubation Buffer
Cat. 25710 contains one vial of 1,600 units and Cat. 25720 contains 4 vials (1,600 units/vial)
Norgen’s RNA purification kits isolate total RNA with minimal amounts of genomic DNA contamination. However, for some sensitive downstream applications, it may be desirable to remove all traces of residual DNA. Norgen’s RNase-free DNAse I Kit, with Enzyme Incubation Buffer, can be used for optional on-column DNase digestion with any of Norgen’s RNA purification kits. Alternatively, after isolating total RNA using one of Norgen’s RNA purification kits, the RNA elution can be treated with this DNase I. The RNA can then be purified from the DNase using Norgen’s RNA Clean-Up and Concentration Kit (Cat# 23600), and the RNA can then be used in downstream applications.
Details
Each RNase-Free DNase I Kit is supplied complete with sufficient enzyme and enzyme incubation buffer for 50 or 200 reactions.
Storage Conditions The DNase I provided is in lyophilized form. It is stable for at least 3 months if stored at room temperature. However, it is recommended to store the DNase I vial at 2 – 8ºC (or below) upon receipt to maintain stability beyond 3 months. Buffer DR and Enzyme Incubation Buffer can be stored at room temperature. After reconstitution with Buffer DR (see product manual), the DNase I should be stored at -20ºC. All reagents should remain stable for at least 1 year in their unopened containers at the appropriate storage temperature.

AACC Method 32-60.01, AOAC Method 2022.01, AOAC Method 2017.16, ICC Standard Method No. 185 and CODEX Method Type I
The Rapid Integrated Total Dietary Fiber Assay Kit method is validated under collaborative study (AACC Method 32-60.01, AOAC Method 2022.01, AOAC Method 2017.16, ICC Standard No. 185) and is recognized as a Type I Method by CODEX Alimentarius. The K-RINTDF method is the recommended one for the measurement of total dietary fiber in all foods that may or may not contain resistant starch. This method is updated to be more consistent with in vivo conditions in the human small intestine, i.e. a 4 h incubation time. Under these conditions more accurate measurement of resistant starch is obtained, including phosphate cross-liked starch (RS4). Use of higher enzyme concentrations ensures that resistant maltodextrins produced from non-resistant starch under the incubation conditions of the Integrated Total Dietary Fiber procedure (AOAC Methods 2009.01 and 2011.25) are no longer produced.
In this improved, rapid method, the incubation time with PAA + AMG is reduced to 4 h and the levels of both PAA and AMG are increased to ensure that resistant starch levels obtained with a set of control samples are consistent with ileostomy data. Under these conditions, the DF values obtained for most samples are the same as those obtained with AOAC Methods 2009.01 and 2011.25.
The dietary fiber fractions that are measured with this method are:
1. High Molecular Weight Dietary Fiber (HMWDF) including Insoluble Dietary Fiber (IDF) and High Molecular Weight Soluble Dietary Fiber (SDFP; soluble dietary fiber which is precipitated in the presence of 78% aqueous ethanol), and
2. Low Molecular Weight Soluble Dietary Fiber (SDFS; water soluble dietary fiber that is soluble in the presence of 78% aqueous ethanol).
Alternatively, IDF, SDFP and SDFS can be measured separately.
The enzymes used in this method are high purity and effectively devoid of contaminating enzymes active on other dietary fiber components such as β-glucan, pectin and arabinoxylan. They are supplied as freeze-dried powders; allowing the use of glycerol as an internal standard in the method.

GenLine discovers beer germs in a timely and precise manner
Method/Platform
PCR
Range/Assay Sensivity
10^4 – 10^5 KBE/mL
Test Principle
The technological basis for the GenLine tests is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with lateral flow Tests.
Labelled specific primers are used to amplify specific DNA fragments. In addition to the target gene, a control gene, which is also present in the PCR mixes, is amplified in order to make sure that the PCR process works properly.
The resulting PCR products carry the labels of the incorporated primers.
In a second part of the test, the created PCR products are detected by a lateral flow Test Strip. A “molecular sandwich” is formed and becomes visible as a line on the test Strip.
Brief Instructions
The entire procedure of the test can be divided into 3 different steps.
1.The PCR reagents and the samples are prepared.
2.After the addition of the sample to the PCR reagents, the PCR is started.
3.The resulting PCR products are detected by a simple lateral flow test Strip
