5 个常见问题解答

我如何为LIVE/DEAD细胞活力实验准备死细胞对照?

有两种简单的方法。一种是通过60°C放置20分钟热灭活细胞。第二种是将细胞放入70%乙醇。乙醇固定的细胞可以在冰箱中无限期储存直到使用,可达好几年。

1.离心细胞、使细胞沉淀并去除上清
2.固定细胞:在15mL含有细胞团的试管中加入10 mL70%冰乙醇,先开始逐滴加入后震荡,混合均匀。
3.在冰箱中储存直到使用。
4.快使用时,水洗两次且在选择的缓冲液中重悬。

我可通过流式细胞仪观察细菌和酵母么?

可以。流式细胞仪可用于:

•计数检测:用于流式细胞仪的细菌计数试剂盒(货号B7277)或LIVE/DEAD BacLight细菌活性和计数试剂盒(货号L34856)
•活性/活力检测:LIVE/DEAD BacLight 细菌活性试剂盒(货号 L13152)
•膜电位:BacLight细菌膜电位试剂盒(货号B34950)
•酵母活性/活力实验:用于流式细胞仪(货号L34952)的LIVE/DEAD FungaLight酵母活性试剂盒,FungaLight酵母CFDA, AM/碘化丙啶活力试剂盒(货号F34953)。

What are the fluorescence excitation/emission maxima for the SYTO 9 dye and propidium iodide in the LIVE/DEAD FungaLight Yeast Viability Kit, for flow cytometry?

SYTO 9 dye: 480/500 nm
Propidium iodide: 490/635 nm

How do I prepare dead cell controls for LIVE/DEAD cell viability assays?

There are two easy options. One is to heat-inactivate the cells by placing at 60 degrees C for 20 minutes. The second is to subject the cells to 70% ethanol. Alcohol-fixed cells can be stored indefinitely in the freezer until use, potentially up to several years.

Centrifuge cells, pellet, and remove supernatant.
Fix cells: Add 10 mL ice cold 70% ETOH to a 15 mL tube containing the cell pellet, adding dropwise at first while vortexing, mix well.
Store in freezer until use.
When ready to use, wash twice and resuspend in buffer of choice.
