X-Gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-ß-D-galactopyranoside) ≥98%, white powder for molecular biology
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Storage: Store at -20 °C. Store Desiccated. Store Under Nitrogen. Protect from light.
5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-D-galactopyranoside, commonly known as X−Gal, is a histochemical substrate for β−galactosidase.
5-Bromo-4-Chloro-3-Indolyl-β-D-Galactopyranoside is used as indigogenic substrate for β-galactosidase, for detection of β-galactosidase-positive clones, and the identification of lac and bacterial colonies or phage plaques. It is the substrate of choice for blue-white selection of recombinant bacterial colonies with the lac+ genotype. X−Gal is cleaved by β−galactosidase to yield an insoluble blue precipitate. X−Gal is particularly useful in molecular biology applications to detect the activity of β−galactosidase which is frequently used as a reporter gene. In cloning, X−Gal is used to detect insertion of foreign DNA into the lacZ region of plasmid DNA using α-complementation which is based on vectors such as the pUC and the M13mp series that carry a fragment of the β-galactosidase gene encoding an α-fragment of β-galactosidase.

Food safe kits for identification of pathogenic microorganisms
Supplier: BIOPREMIER
Food safe kits provide a simple, reliable, and rapid procedure for detecting the presence of a specific pathogenic bacteria. The assay is based on 5’ nuclease Real-Time PCR reactions to amplify a unique genomic sequence in the target microorganism. PCR is a method used to amplify a specific DNA sequence which is typically amplified in a reaction containing a thermostable DNA polymerase, nucleotides, and primers complementary to the target sequence. When this solution is heated, the DNA molecule denatures, separating into two strands. As the solution cools, the primers anneal to the target sequences in the separated DNA strands and the DNA polymerase synthesises a new strand by extending the primers with nucleotides, creating a copy of the DNA sequence (amplicons). When repeated, this cycle of denaturing, annealing, and extending exponentially increases the number of target amplicons. In Real-Time PCR, specific fluorescent probes are used to detect the amplified DNA by hybridising with amplicons. These probes are linked to a fluorophore on one end and a quencher that suppresses fluorescence on the other. If the target sequence is present during the PCR, amplification occurs and the probe is degraded, resulting in fluorescence increase. Fluorescence is measured by a detector and the associated software plots the fluorescence intensity versus number of cycles, allowing the determination of the presence or absence of the target organism.

Brefeldin A ≥98%, white powder for molecular biology
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Storage: Store at -20 °C.
Brefeldin A is a fungal metabolite which is a macrocyclic lactone exhibiting a wide range of antibiotic activity. Produced by Penicillium brefeldianum. Blocks binding of the cytosolic coat protein b-COP and ARF to Golgi membranes mediated by protein G. Also blocks protein transportation into post-Golgi compartments. It activates the sphingomyelin cycle. Brefeldin A mediated apoptosis has been observed in human tumor cells.
Brefeldin A reversibly inhibits the intracellular translocation of proteins in eukaryotes, e.g., during transport of proteins to the cell surface for secretion or expression. It has been reported to block the response of cultured cells to cholera toxin. In HepG2 cells, BFA induces two blocks in the secretory pathway; one at the level of the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi juncture and the other in the trans-Golgi network. Brefeldin A is used in the studies of Brefeldin A-inhibited Guanine Nucleotide-exchange Protein, BIG2, Regulates the Constitutive Release of TNFR1 Exosome-like Vesicles.

Food safe kits for detecting animal species in meat products
Supplier: BIOPREMIER
Food safe kits provide a simple, reliable, and rapid procedure for detecting the presence of an animal species in meat and meat products. The assay is based on 5’ nuclease Real-Time PCR reactions to amplify a unique genomic sequence in the target organism. According to European Commission Directive 2002/86/EC, food ingredients have to be declared. In the case of meat and meat products, the animal species has to be disclosed on the label. Moreover, the species autenticity can be highly relevant to consumers for economic, medical, cultural and religious reasons. Fraudulent substitution of cheaper meats in place of more expensive species, the inclusion of meat in non meat (vegetarian) products and the presence of allergens in food products are clear examples for the importance of this issue (Ballin, 2010; Dooley et al., 2004). Several methods are based on identification of proteins by means of electrophoretic and/or immunological methods. However, these methods are not reliable for application in highly processed and heated products due to the protein deterioration. DNA is more stable than proteins during processing and although it can be fragmented by several processes, modern DNA methodologies like PCR-based techniques still allow the identification of DNA from the different species present in a sample (Lockley & Bardsley, 2000). Real-Time PCR techniques are especially suitable for these products because small fragments of DNA can still be amplified and identified with high sensitivity and specificity (Dooley et al., 2004).

Urea ≥98%, white powder for molecular biology
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Applications:
Urea is used for the denaturation of proteins and as a mild solubilization agent for insoluble or denatured proteins. Useful for renaturing proteins from samples already denatured with 6 M guanidine chloride such as inclusion bodies and in the extraction of the mitochondrial complex. It is commonly used to solubilize and denature proteins for denaturing isoelectric focusing and two-dimensional electrophoresis and in acetic acid-urea PAGE gels. May be used with guanidine hydrochloride and dithiothreitrol (DTT) in the refolding of denatured proteins into their native or active form. Urea is used in cell or tissue culture media to increase the osmolality. Urea has also been used as fertilizer because of the easy availability of nitrogen; in animal feeds; it is reacted with aldehydes to make resins and plastics; condensed with malonic ester to form barbituric acid; used in the paper industry to soften cellulose.
Biochem/physiol Actions:
Urea has been shown to act as an aldosterone antagonist in the development of peanut agglutinin binding in cultured embryonic renal collecting duct epithelial cells. Urea is the principal end product of nitrogen metabolism in most mammals, formed by the enzymatic reactions of the Kreb's cycle.
Typical Working Concentration:
The use of 2 g/L urea in the culture of Kluyveromyces marxianus to produce a thermostable extracellular lipase has been described. Urea is typically used at a concentration of 8 M for protein denaturation or solubilization. A final concentration of 5 M urea is commonly used in molecular biology for sequencing gels.

proNGF Rapid™ ELISA Kit: Rat and Mouse
Supplier: Biosensis
The Biosensis Mouse and Rat proNGF Rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of rodent full-length proNGF protein in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates and tissue homogenates only if used as directed. This ELISA Kit has also successfully been used on mouse urine samples (Ryu JC et al., 2018). Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application.
This ELISA kit contains a recombinant mouse proNGF standard expressed in E.coli and consists of a pre-coated anti-proNGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-proNGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of proNGF present in samples and protein standards. A proNGF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. This ELISA kit detects rat proNGF due to high degree of homology (96%) with mouse proNGF based on amino acid sequence, and the ability of this kit in detecting proNGF in rat PC12 cell lysates and rat brain tissue homogenate. In the absence of a true rat proNGF standard, results may be expressed as 'mouse proNGF equivalents'. This ELISA kit shows only 20% reactivity with the human form of proNGF and is therefore not suitable to quantify human proNGF. No cross-reactivity was observed with mature mouse NGF and full-length proBDNF when tested in assay buffer.
The antibodies used in this ELISA kit bind epitopes within the pro-domain (capture) and mature domain (detection) of the protein, thus this ELISA assay does not detect the pro-domain peptide. This kit has not been tested for other applications. Sufficient amount of proNGF standard is supplied to allow for spike- and recovery experiments in order to validate this ELISA assay for other sample matrices if required.
