The Protein Digestibility Assay Kit (K-PDCAAS) is used for in vitro measurement of the Animal-Safe Accurate Protein Quality Score (ASAP-Quality Score Method) developed under patent by Medallion Labs. This digestibility score, in conjunction with the essential amino acid profile plus protein and moisture content of the sample, is used to calculate the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) value.

This product is suitable for extracting total RNA from 50-150mg conventional plantor fungal samples as well as samples rich in polyphenolic and polysaccharides. This kit is based on silica gel column purification technology, and the extraction process does not require the use of toxic phenol chloroform extraction. The entire extraction process only takes 20-30 minutes. This kit adopts DNA filtration technology, which can efficiently filter and remove DNA. The obtained RNA can be directly used for experiments such as RT-PCR, Northern Blot, poly A+ purification, nucleic acid protection, and in vitro translation.

Storage and Stability
Except TCEP, the kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions. After receiving the product, it is recommended to store TCEP (dry powder) at -20-8°C. At low temperatures, Buffer PSL may form precipitates, dissolve it completely by 55°C water bath.
Purchase Guide
1. When dealing with woody or uncommon samples, R4150 is recommended first. R4150 contains two polysaccharide/polyphenol lysis buffer, which is the most universal product.
2. R4151 is recommended for handling common economic crop samples for the first time. Strong lysis solution can be used to process easy-extraction samples. The amount of corn or rice leaves samples can reach up to 300mg.
3. R4165 adopts CTAB/chloroform method, which can also handle a large number of difficult-to-extraction plants, but requires contact with chloroform substitutes, which is less safe than other kits. This kit uses DNase Ⅰ to remove DNA, which is also a good choice for extracting polysaccharide/polyphenol-rich plant samples.
4. R4014 is recommended for fruit/starch plant samples, which uses improved trizol pre-treatment, single column operation and is more economical.

Rapid and simple procedure to generate digested peptides
Simultaneous digestion, purification and concentration at once
Peptide generation is complete, with no generation of additional artifacts being detected in mass spectrometry
Peptides are ready for applications such as mass spectrometry and SDS-PAGE
Purification is based on spin column chromatography that uses Norgen’s resin separation matrix
This kit is highly efficient in the enzymatic digestion of simple and complex protein samples using trypsin and the subsequent purification of the resulting peptides using a convenient spin column format. Trypsin is added to the protein sample and bound to the column. Salts are washed away and the trypsin is then activated to digest proteins. Peptides are then eluted in a small volume and ready for downstream analysis. The peptides generated are complete, with no additional artifacts being detected in mass spectrometry. Fifteen micrograms of protein can be processed, digested and purified with each spin column with about 20 minutes of hands-on time (plus trypsin incubation). The simultaneous protein digestion and volumetric concentration of the purified peptides makes the kit a convenient method for preparing peptides to be analyzed by many downstream applications such as mass spectrometry and more.
Storage Conditions All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. Once opened, the solution should be stored at 4°C. This kit is stable for 2 years after the date of shipment.
Brevetoxins (PbTx) are a class of cyclic polyether compounds produced by certain algae such as Karenia brevis. K. brevis can produce Brevetoxins in large quantities during an algae bloom which then pose a major health threat and are important to monitor and mitigate. Brevetoxins are the causative agent of Neurotoxic Shellfish Poisoning (NSP).
