Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Hoechst working solution preparation 1.1 Hoechst stock solution preparation Make a 1 mg/mL Hoechst stock solution using DMSO. Note: After filling, Hoechst storage solution should be kept in the dark at -4°C or -20°C. 1.2 Replacing the working solution: Before using the storage solution, add PBS or a high-quality serum-free cell culture medium. Ten μg/mL of Hoechst working solution is the final concentration. Note: Before using, please make sure that the Hoechst working fluid concentration is appropriate for the current circumstances. 2. Suspended cell staining (2.1): Centrifuge cells, add PBS, then wash twice for five minutes each time. Add 1 mL of Hoechst working solution and let it settle for 3–10 minutes, or until the cell density reaches 1×106/mL 2.2. 2.3 Centrifuge for 3–4 minutes at 400 g, then discard. 2.4 Wash the cells twice with PBS, giving them five minutes each time. 2.5 Re-suspend the cells in 1 milliliter of PBS or serum-free water, and use a flow cytometer or fluorescence microscope to observe. 3. Adhesion-based cell staining 3.1 Grow adherent cells on sterile coverslips. 3.2 Aspirate extra cells and remove the coverslip from the culture medium. Step 3: Aspirate the dye working solution, wash the cells 2-3 times with culture media for 5 minutes each time, and use a fluorescence microscope or flow cytometer to monitor. Step 3.3 Add 100 μL of dye working solution and shake gently to completely cover the cells. Observations 1. Kindly modify the Hoechst working fluid concentration based on the current circumstances. Ten minutes. 2. This product may not be used for clinical diagnosis or treatment, nor may it be included into food or medication. It is intended solely for professional use in scientific study. 3. When working, please wear gloves and a lab coat for your own health and safety.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~6.25 mg/mL (~13.81 mM)
H2O : < 0.1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.10 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 5.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.10 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 5.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.10 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 5.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.


Solubility in Formulation 4: 5 mg/mL (11.05 mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with ultrasonication (<60°C).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
