Cholesterol/Cholesteryl Ester Quantitation Kit

半岛bd体育手机客户端 说明

一般描述

A sensitive assay for the quantitative measurement of cholesterol and/or cholesteryl ester by a colorimetric or a fluorometric method. Measurement by spectrophotometry at OD =570 nm or fluorometry at Ex/Em =535/587 nm. This assay can measure cholesterol itself, total cholesterol (cholesterol + cholesterol ester) by adding cholesterol esterase to the reaction, or only cholesteryl ester by subtracting the value of cholesterol from the total value of cholesterol plus cholesteryl esters. The fluorometric assay can detect 0.02-1 ?g/well and is 4-10 fold more sensitive than colorimetric assay. Kit contains sufficient reagents for 100 tests.

制备说明

Note:Allow reagents to warm to room temperature. Briefly centrifuge all vials before opening.
? Cholesterol Probe:Ready to use as supplied. Warm to room temperature to thaw the DMSO solution before use. Aliquot and freeze at -20℃; protect from light. Cholesterol Probe is stable for up to 2 months at -20℃.
? Cholesterol Esterase:Dissolve the Cholesterol Esterase in 220 l Cholesterol Reaction Buffer prior to use. Aliquot and freeze at -20℃. Reconstituted Cholesterol Esterase is stable for up to 2 months at -20℃.
? Enzyme Mix:Dissolve the Enzyme Mix in 220 l Cholesterol Reaction Buffer prior to use. Aliquot and freeze at -20℃. Reconstituted Enzyme Mix is stable for up to 2 months at -20℃.
? Standard Curve, Colorimetric Detection:Dilute the Cholesterol Standard to a concentration of 0.5 g/l by adding 20 l Cholesterol Standard to 180 l Cholesterol Reaction Buffer; mix well. Add the indicated volumes of diluted Cholesterol Standard and Cholesterol Reaction Buffer (see table below) to individual designated standard wells.

? Standard Curve, Fluorometric Detection:Dilute the Cholesterol Standard to 50 ng/l by adding 10 l Cholesterol Standard to 990 l Cholesterol Reaction Buffer; mix well. Add the indicated volumes of diluted Cholesterol Standard and Cholesterol Reaction Buffer (see table below) to individual designated standard wells.

Note:For the standard curve (colorimetric and fluorescent detection), cholesterol esterase MUST be added to the reaction mix for detecting either total cholesterol or free cholesterol.
? Reaction Mix:Prepare the following Reaction Mix; prepare only enough reaction mix for the number of assays to be performed. The total volume of reaction mix in each well is 50 l.
44 l Cholesterol Reaction Buffer
2 l Cholesterol Probe
2 l Enzyme Mix
2 l Cholesterol Esterase*
*Note:Cholesterol Esterase hydrolyzes cholesteryl ester into cholesterol. If you want to detect cholesterol only, omit the Cholesterol Esterase. With the addition of Cholesterol Esterase, the assay detects both cholesterol and cholesteryl esters. If you want to detect cholesteryl esters only, subtract the value of cholesterol from the total value of both cholesterol and cholesteryl esters.
1. Serum: The recommended volume of serum is 0.5-5 ?l. Serum samples should be diluted 10-fold in Cholesterol Assay Buffer.

2. Cell Lysates and Tissue Extracts: Homogenize 1 x 10⁶cells or 10 mg tissue in 200 ?l Chloroform:Isopropanol:NP-40 (7:11:0.1) in a microhomogenizer. Centrifuge for 5-10 min at 14,000 rpm in a microcentrifuge. Avoiding the whitish solid protein layer, collect the organic phase (lower phase) and transfer it to a clean tube; air-dry at 50°C, and vacuum-dry for 30 min to remove residual chloroform. Dissolve the dried lipids in 200 ?l Cholesterol Reaction Buffer by vortexing extensively for 5 min. Use 1-50 ?l extracted sample per assay. The extraction procedure can be scaled up if larger amounts of sample are desired. Use 1-50 ?l of extracted sample per assay. Then adjust the volume to 50 ?l/well with Cholesterol Assay Buffer. For unkown samples, we suggest testing differant amounts of sample to ensure that the readings are within the linear portion of the standard curve.
