Novel method
The Phytase Assay Kit is a simple, quantitative method which can be used to measure phytase activity. Analysis is based on the hydrolysis of phytic acid by phytase and quantitative measurement of the phosphate released. Results are measured using a standard UV-VIS spectrophotometer and do not require the creation of a standard curve. The Phytase method can be used to measure phytase activity in cereal, fungal and bacterial phytases, and can also be used for the analysis of phytase in animal feed samples.
No need for expensive instrumentation, i.e. fluorimeter
Low cost per assay
All reagents stable for > 2 years after preparation

Bacterial DNA Extraction Kit (Magnetic Beads)
The Bacterial DNA Extraction Kit (Magnetic Beads) was developed for the bacterial genomic DNA extraction from bacterial cultures directly using magnetic beads from a wide variety of gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial species, as well as yeast and other fungi. With our proprietary magnetic beads technology, the kit eliminates the tedious centrifuge steps for columns. The kit provides a reliable and simple approach for high-quality bacterial DNA isolation with fast magnetic response time and high binding capacity.
Bacteria are the most diverse and abundant small single-celled organisms and are vital to the planet’s ecosystems. Some bacterial species are pathogens that can cause a variety of diseases to humans and animals. Besides their ecological and biomedical importance, bacteria are also used in biotech and pharmaceutical applications such as production of enzymes, DNA preparation, biofuels, food research, and chemical production.
Bacterial cells are grown to log-phase and the culture is lysed directly with a lysis buffer, then mixed with beads to bind genomic DNA. After wash steps, genomic DNA is eluted in Low TE or TE Buffer. The isolated genomic DNA with the magnetic beads is free of contamination such as RNA, proteins, salts, and other impurities. Bacterial DNA extracted using the kit is suitable for downstream applications such as qPCR, PCR, DNA sequencing, Southern Blotting, molecular cloning, DNA hybridization, restriction enzymatic digestion, and Next-generation Sequencing (NGS) etc.

Purified genomic DNA from various bacteria were isolated with the Bacterial DNA Extraction Kit. A portion of the extracted genomic DNA was loaded on a 1% agarose gel. DNA ladder: BioDynami 1 kb Plus DNA Ladder (Cat.# 10005L).
For the selective isolation and culture of Listeria monocytogenes.
Principle and Interpretation
Peptone provides the carbon and nitrogen sources necessary for growth; yeast extract powder and starch provide carbon and nitrogen sources, vitamins and growth factors; sodium chloride can maintain a balanced osmotic pressure; glucose provides a carbon source; Listeria hydrolyzes esculin and reacts with iron ions to form black 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin; mannitol is a fermentable sugar, and phenol red is a pH indicator; lithium chloride and other antibiotics can inhibit Gram-negative bacteria and most Gram-positive bacteria; agar is the coagulant of the culture medium.

These kits provide a fast, reliable and convenient method to purify and concentrate high quality, high purity and inhibitor-free cell-free circulating and exosomal RNA using a convenient spin column method. These kits can purify RNA from fresh or frozen serum or plasma samples prepared from blood collected on either EDTA or Citrate. Plasma samples prepared from blood collected on heparin should not be used, as heparin can significantly interfere with many downstream applications such as RT-PCR. The purified plasma/serum RNA is fully compatible with all downstream applications including PCR, qPCR, methylation-sensitive reverse transcription qPCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, expression array assays, and NGS. The EXTRAClean columns undergo stringent processing and rigorous quality control measures to minimize contamination traces, ensuring optimal results for sensitive applications such as NGS.
Background
Cell-free circulating RNA, including exosomal RNA in plasma or serum, has the potential to provide biomarkers for certain cancers and disease states, and includes tumor-specific extracellular RNA in the blood. Exosomes are 40 – 100 nm membrane vesicles, which are secreted by most cell types. Exosomes can be found in saliva, blood, urine, amniotic fluid and malignant ascitic fluids, among other biological fluids. Evidence has been accumulating recently that these vesicles act as cellular messengers, conveying information to distant cells and tissues within the body. The exosomes contain cell-specific proteins, lipids and RNAs, which are transported to other cells, where they can alter function and/or physiology. These exosomes may play a functional role in mediating adaptive immune responses to infectious agents and tumours, tissue repair, neural communication and transfer of pathogenic proteins. Recent work has demonstrated the presence of distinct subsets of microRNAs within exosomes which depend upon the tumour cell type from which they are secreted. For this reason, exosomal RNAs may serve as biomarkers for various diseases including cancer. As the RNA molecules encapsulated within exosomes are protected from degradation by RNAses, they can be efficiently recovered from biological fluids, such as plasma or serum.
