Product name | CheKine™ Micro Mitochondrial complex Ⅲ Activity Assay Kit |
Applications notes | Abbkine CheKine™ Micro Mitochondrial Complex Ⅲ Activity Detection Kitis specially developed for the detection of complex I activity. The operation is simple and convenient, and the detection is more sensitive and accurate. Complex III could transfer the hydrogen from reduced CoQ to cytochrome C to produce reduced cytochrome C. Unlike oxidized cytochrome C, reduced cytochrome C has characteristic light absorption at 550 nm. So, the increasing of light absorption rate can reflect the activity of Complex III enzymes, and Abbkine CheKine™ Micro Mitochondrial complex Ⅲ Activity Assay Kit can detect animal and plant tissues and cell samples. |
Kit components | • ReagentⅠ • Reagent Ⅱ • Reagent Ⅲ • Reagent Ⅳ • Reagent Ⅴ • Reagent Ⅵ |
Features & Benefits | • Detect the enzyme activity of complex III in plant tissues, animal tissues, and cell samples. • Provides detailed sample preparation and results calculation methods. |
Usage notes | • Do not mix the components between different batch numbers and manufacturers; otherwise, the results may be abnormal. • Avoid bubbles while mixing or redissolving components. • Change pipette tips frequently to avoid cross contamination between components. • Ensure that all components and equipment are at the proper temperature before starting the experiment. • In order to guarantee the accuracy of experimental results, need to do a pre-experiment with 1-2 samples. If the absorbance values is too high (above 1), the samples should be diluted with ReagentⅡand then measured again . Pay attention to multiply by the dilution factor when calculating the result. • The protein concentration of the sample needs to be determined by users. •Note that Reagent Ⅲ has certain toxicity, Please take protective measures during operation. |

Background | Mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III (EC 1.10.2.2), also known as CoQ-cytochrome C reductase, is widely present in the mitochondria of animals, plants, microorganisms and cultured cells. It plays a key role at the main and branch pathways in the mitochondrial respiratory electron transport chain. Complex III could transfer the hydrogen of the reduced CoQ to cytochrome C ,and produce reduced cytochrome C. |

Yes,It can be crushed by ultrasonic.The reference ultrasonic conditions are as follows: ice bath ultrasonication for 5 min (power 20%, ultrasonication for 3 s, interval of 7 s, repeated 30 times).
Store the supernatant and pellet together at -80°C, pay attention to aliquoting and avoid repeated freezing and thawing. It is recommended to use fresh samples for experiments whenever possible.
