Kit Components

• 10×Fixation Buffer
• 10×PBS
• Reagent A
• Reagent B
• Reagent C
• X-Gal Solution

Features & Benefits

• Simple and optimized procedure
• Fast and convenient
• Suitable for aging detection of cultured cells and tissue sections
• Cell senescence β-galactosidase staining kit only stains senescent cells, and does not stain pre-senescence cells (senescent cells), quiescent cells (static cells), immortal cells (immortal cells) or tumor cells

Usage Notes

• Fixative solutions are toxic and corrosive to humans, use special care when operating, and take care to protect effectively
• X-gal solutions stored at -20°C or 4°C will thaw completely by freezing at room temperature or in a 37°C water bath for 2-5 min with appropriate shaking
• Cellular senescence the β- galactosidase staining reaction is dependent on specific pH conditions and cannot be performed in a carbon dioxide incubator. A higher concentration of carbon dioxide in the incubator can affect the pH of the staining working solution, which leads to staining failure. For multi well plates, it may be sealed with parafilm or plastic wrap to prevent evaporation
• If there is a pellet after reagent thaw or before use, ensure that the pellet has dissolved in its entirety before use. Reagent C when just removed from the kit, there may be a small precipitate on the bottom of the tube, which is normal, the precipitate dissolves completely after thorough mixing, and it is necessary to ensure that it is used after all has dissolved. A small flocculent precipitate may also be present when formulating the staining working solution, dissolve completely after shaking to mix, and this must be ensured to be used only after all has dissolved
