The K-LOLAC test kit offers a rapid, novel, sequential measurement of free-glucose and lactose in conventional, low-lactose and lactose-free dairy products. This sequential assay format reduces the manual input required by an analyst when compared to traditional lactose assay formats and therefore improves both accuracy and efficiency. When used in combination with the Megazyme Creep Calculator provided, the β-galactosidase employed in this kit allows for the selective measurement of lactose in the presence of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) which are commonly found in lactose-free dairy products. This constitutes a significant improvement over existing commercially available lactose assay kits which typically overestimate lactose content in lactose-free samples due to the unselective hydrolysis of GOS by β-galactosidase. Lastly, the sensitivity of the K-LOLAC assay kit has been doubled through the use of a cascade biochemical pathway, helping to significantly reduce the LOD and LOQ for the assay.
World’s first sequential assay for lactose, i.e. improves accuracy and efficiency
Contains a specific β-galactosidase for the selective measurement of lactose in dairy products
Efficient pre-treatment step allows for accurate measurement of lactose in “low-lactose” and “lactose-free” dairy products
Lower limit of detection (LOD) than any other commercially available enzymatic lactose detection method. LOD at 1.62 mg/L
Very competitive price (cost per test)

Product Info
The NGS Low Input DNA Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms) was developed for construction of high quality NGS libraries with low input DNA amount from 1 ng to 400 ng. The kit allows scientist to study samples with limited DNA such as tumor samples, patient samples, and other specially collected samples (FACS sorting etc.). The kit has high library conversion efficiency with as little as 1 ng DNA input. The fast and simple 1.5-hour protocol makes libraries with even coverage and low GC-bias based our unique chemistry for DNA end-polishing and ligation.
The kit needs double strand DNA fragments (blunt and/or sticky) as input DNA for NGS library preparation, and is compatible with DNA fragments generated from both enzymatic approach (for example, BioDynami DNA fragmentation enzymes, Cat.# 40061 and Cat.# 40062) and mechanical approaches such as sonication and nebulization etc.
NGS Low Input DNA Library Prep Kit Workflow
Three index types are available for the NGS Low Input DNA Library Prep Kit of illumina platform:
Non-index (Cat.# 30022): Libraries do not have index.
Index (Cat.# 30024): Each of our index primers contains a unique barcode sequence with 6 bases that can be used to identify the low input DNA libraries. Library multiplexing up to 48 samples is possible. Index information can be downloaded here.
Unique dual index (Cat.# 30025): Library multiplexing up to 96 low input DNA libraries is possible with unique dual indexes with our Four-Base Difference Index System. The system allows us to make indexes for the libraries that have at least 4 bases different from each other in the 8-base barcode length. Our unique dual index primers can reduce sequencing errors such as de-multiplexing errors, amplification errors, mis-assignment of reads, index cross-contamination, and also index hopping. The kit includes 96 pre-mixed unique pairs of index primers. Index information can be downloaded here.
Indexes are available for the MGI platform kits (Cat.# 34024).

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.
