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.

See our complete list of assay kits for the measurement enzyme activity.

Advantages

• Very cost effective 
• Simple, convenient, rapid assay 
• Standard included  
• Mega-Calc™ software tool is available from our website for hassle-free raw data processing

Overview

Peelable heat sealing foil which seals to polystyrene plates. This seal is resealable, pierceable and suitable for compound storage too.

• Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method of plate sealing, for complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective
• Our PierceASeal Foil PS Heat Seal produces a strong seal to polystyrene plates
• It is compatible with polypropylene and polystyrene plates
• This seal demonstrates moderate solvent resistance and can be used for low temperature compound storage, in DMSO and organic solvents, and short term room temperature storage
• PierceASeal Foil PS Heat Seal can be pierced with a pipette tip manually, by a liquid handling robot, or it can be removed by peeling (from polystyrene only). It can be resealed by applying another Polystyrene Foil Heat Seal directly on top of a previously pierced seal
• This seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our HeatASeal 500 Sealing Machine
• Also available in multiple roll formats compatible with specified automated heat sealers, such as our Wasp or Chameleon XT

Introduction

This product is suitable for rapid extraction of DNA from FFPE sample. This kit uses two combination methods. High-salt Bind is conducive to remove pigments or polysaccharides from complex FFPE samples, so as to improve the purity of nucleic acid and avoid blocking aligent 2100. Alcohol mediated adsorption is conducive to improve the nucleic acid yield of high-yield samples.

Details

Specifications

Features	Specifications
Main Functions	Isolation high pure total DNA from FFPE using high bind beads
Applications	PCR and viral DNA detection, etc.
Purification technology	Magnetic beads technology
Process method	Manual or automatic
Sample type	Paraffin embedded tissue samples
Sample amount	1-6 slices of 10-20μm

Principle

This product is based on the purification method of high binding magnetic particles. The sample is lysed and digested under the action of lysate and Protease. DNA is released into the lysate. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, DNA will be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles, and impurities such as proteins will be removed without adsorption. The adsorbed particles were washed with washing solution to remove proteins and impurities, washed with ethanol to remove salts, and finally DNA was eluted by Elution Buffer.

Advantages

• High yield – most optimal process, recovery up to 90%
• Economy – less than 50% of the price of Qiagen and other imported products
• High purity – OD 260/280 : 1.7-1.9, OD 260/230 : 1.5-2.0

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K, RNase A and MagPure Particles N should be stored at 2-8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15-25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15-25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.
