Sperm Vitality Kit

Quantitative eosin staining kit for the percentage measurement of live spermatozoa in semen samples GENERAL INFORMATION Sperm vitality is reflected in the proportion of spermatozoa that are “alive”. Sperm vitality should be determined in semen samples with less than about 40% progressive motile spermatozoa. Sperm Vitality Test uses the eosin staining technique to establishes the percentage of live spermatozoa. The technique is based on the principle that dead cells will take up the eosin, and as a result stain red. Sperm Vitality Test provides an accuracy check of the motility evaluation since the percentage dead spermatozoa should not exceed the percentage immotile spermatozoa. Sperm Vitality Test may help in assessing the diagnosis and the management of male infertility. MATERIAL INCLUDED IN THE KIT Reagent A - 1 ml of red stain MATERIAL NOT INCLUDED IN THE KIT Light microscope (400 - 600x magnification) Microscope glasses Cover glasses Pipettes Test tubes (sterile) Microscope slides Laboratory counter METHOD 1. Mix the semen sample well 2. Remove an aliquot of 5 µL of semen and combine with 5 µL of reagent A on a microscope slide. Mix with a pipette tip, swirling the sample on the slide. 3. Cover with a 22 mm x 22 mm coverslip and leave for 30 seconds. 4. Remix the semen sample, remove a replicate aliquot, mix with reagent A and treat as in steps 2 and 3 above. 5. Examine each slide, preferably with negative-phase-contrast optics at x200 or x400 magnification. 6. Tally the number of stained (dead) and unstained (vital) cells with the aid of a laboratory counter. 7. Evaluate 200 spermatozoa in each replicate, in order to achieve an acceptably low sampling error. 8. Calculate the average and difference of the two percentages of vital cells from the replicate preparations. 9. Determine the acceptability of the difference. 10. If the difference between the percentages is acceptable, report the average percentage vitality. If the difference is too high, make 2 new preparations from 2 new aliquots of semen and repeat the assessment. 11. Report the average percentage of vital spermatozoa to the nearest whole number. INTERPRETATION - Colourless spermatozoa: live spermatozoa - Red stained spermatozoa: dead spermatozoa Count between 100 and 200 cells and differentiate the living from the dead spermatozoa. Read results immediately, waiting too long will yield lower vitality percentages. It is clinically important to know whether immotile spermatozoa are alive or dead. Vitality results should be assessed in conjunction with motility results from the same semen sample. The presence of a large proportion of vital but immotile cells may be indicative of structural defects in the flagellum; a high percentage of immotile and non-viable cells (necrozoospermia) may indicate epididymal pathology. A semen sample is considered normal if 58% or more of the sperm cells are alive. LIMITATIONS OF THE METHOD Spermatozoa stained with Renata Sperm Vitality Test cannot be used for any further procedures. STORAGE Suitable for transport or short term storage at elevated temperatures (up to 5 days at 37°C). Store reagent between 2°C and 25°C. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS All human, organic material should be considered potentially infectious. Handle all specimens as if capable of transmitting HIV or hepatitis. Always wear protective clothing when handling specimens. Sperm Vitality IFU ENG PDF

FFA Direct

Quantitative measurement of Acidity in fats & oils Description The acidity level of edible oils and fats is determined by the amount of free fatty acids produced by the breakdown of triglycerides during hydrolytic rancidity. Since this change takes place under unfavourable conditions for the processing and preservation of fats, acidity serves as a fundamental measure of the authenticity of the product. This test is particularly critical in the refining of oils and fats, as it contributes to the evaluation of the processing cycle and the classification of products. Although it has comparable accuracy, this test is simpler to perform than the official AOCS Ca 5a-40 method. In samples with a pH below 7,0, the free fatty acids present react with a colour-producing compound, resulting in a reduction of the colour intensity. The extent of this reduction in colour is directly proportional to the concentration of acid in the sample, expressed as a percentage of oleic acid. Package contents 1 x 0.75 ml R1, 1 x 0.25 ml R2, 5 x 20 ml R3 Number of tests: 100 tests Ref.: 89491 Shelf life: 24 months from date of manufacture Storage & Stability: 2-8°C Sample collection instructions No preparation of olive oil sample preparation is required. For the analysis of samples such as solid fats, butter, margarine, cream, nuts, flours and other extracted fatty foods, it is recommended to follow the guidelines described in the enclosed 'Preparation of test sample for analysis of fatty foods'. This document provides guidance on how to properly prepare these specific samples for analysis and can be obtained from your supplier or from the manufacturer - MenidiMedica Biotech Greece. It will likely include information on techniques such as milling, homogenisation, extraction or other relevant procedures to ensure accurate and representative analysis of the fat content of these foods. Preparation of reagents Preparation WR: Add 150 uL. R1 and 50uL. R2 to one of 5 vials of 20 mL. R3. Screw on the cap of vial R3. The WR changes color to violet and is stable until the expiration date indicated on the outer label of the kit. Procedure - Wavelength: 546 nm - Blank: Air - Method: End Point - WR: 1 mL. - Sample: 20 uL. - Mix and incubate for 60'' (seconds) - Read results Reference values Linearity (for olive oil): 0,01-1,10 (expressed as % oleic acid) For other types of food, please inform the producer MenidiMedica Biotech Greece to provide you with the corresponding protocol with the following linearity towards this type of food. Note: For samples where the analyzer gives you an UPPER LIMIT value, then you should dilute your sample with OLIVE OIL DILUTOR (Ref. 89377, sold separately by MenidiMedica Biotech Greece) in a ratio of 1:1 or 1:5 and multiply the result given by the analyzer by 1 or 5.

Histanol 100

Rehydrating/dehydrating agent of tissue and cytological samples Introduction Histology, cytology, and related scientific fields focus on examining the microscopic structure of tissues and cells. Achieving clear visualization of tissue and cellular structures requires precise sample processing. The histological sample processing involves several key steps, with three involving dehydration and subsequent rehydration. The initial step involves preparing the samples for infiltration, embedding them in paraffin, and then cutting the paraffin blocks into thin slices. In the second step, the samples are prepared for staining, and the final step involves mounting the samples on glass slides. Since most embedding media, like commonly used paraffin, do not readily penetrate samples containing water, it is essential to perform dehydration first to facilitate the infiltration process. Once the samples are embedded in paraffin, cut into thin slices, and mounted on glass slides, they maintain their integrity for a specific period. However, before staining, it is necessary to remove the paraffin and rehydrate the sections. Only then can histological dyes be applied for staining. A similar procedure is followed for cytological samples, with dehydrating agents, primarily consisting of alcohols. One widely used dehydrating agent is denatured ethanol, which serves as the primary component in MenidiMedica Biotech Histanol. Histanol is a transparent, colorless, and flammable liquid known for its rapid action and high efficiency. Product description Other slides and reagents that may be used in staining: - Fixatives such as MenidiMedica Biotech neutral buffered formaldehyde solutions (Formaldehyde NB 10%) - Dehydrating/rehydrating agent, such as MenidiMedica Biotech alcohol solutions - Clearing agents, such as xylene or a substitute agent on the aliphatic hydrocarbons basis - Infiltration and fitting agent, such as granulated paraffin - High-quality glass slides for use in histopathology and cytology - Differentiation agent, such as MenidiMedica Biotech Acid alcohol - Bluing agents, such as MenidiMedica Biotech Scott's solution or Bluing reagent - Covering agents for microscopic sections and mounting cover glass, such as MenidiMedica Biotech Eukitt - Cover glass, dimensions range from 18x18mm to 24x60mm - Reagent for nuclear staining, such as MenidiMedica Biotech Hematoxylin Harris - Counterstaining reagents, such as MenidiMedica Biotech eosin solutions Preparing histological sections for staining - Fix the tissue sample tightly (10% NB Formaldehyde), rinse with water and dehydrate through series of ascending alcohol solutions (Histanol 100). - Clear the sample with intermedium; in xylene or in a xylene substitute. - Infiltrate and fit the sample in paraffin - Cut the paraffin block to 4-6 µm slices and place them on a glass slide Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining procedure, progressive - Deparaffinize the section in xylene or in a xylene substitute - 3 exchanges, 2 min each - Rehydrate using 100% alcohol (Histanol 100) - 2 exchanges, 5 and 3 min - Rehydrate using 95% alcohol - 2 min - Rehydrate in distilled water - 2 min - Stain using Hematoxylin Harris - 3-5 minutes Note: In the case of subsidence in the solution or a formation of metallic glow on the surface, reagent should be filtrated before use. - Immerse the section in distilled or demineralized water until dye is no longer being released from the section - Make nuclei turn blue using Scott's solution or Bluing reagent - 1 min Note: Finish the process of bluing after the nuclei turn blue If no Scott's solution or Bluing reagent is available, rinse the sections under tap water for 3-5 minutes. - Stain with one of eosin contrast solutions until the section is optimally stained - 15 seconds - 2 minutes Note: Staining the sections in eosin alcoholic solutions causes intensive eosinophil color to show much faster (in under 15 seconds' time). Recommended exposure time for eosin aqueous solutions is 90 seconds to 2 minutes - Rinse under tap water - 2 min - Dehydrate using 95% alcohol - 2 exchanges, 10-15 dips - Dehydrate using 100% alcohol (Histanol 100) - 3 exchanges, 10-15 dips - Clear the section in xylene or in a xylene substitute Immediately after clearing apply an appropriate mount medium for covering/mounting on the section. If xylene was used, use one of mounting xylene-based media. If xylene substitute was used, use the appropriate covering agent for this case. Cover the section with a cover glass. Result Nucleus - dark blue Cytoplasm, collagen, elastin, erythrocytes - various shades of pink (when staining with Eosin Contrast the shade is red-pink) Note Time periods of staining processes are not entirely standardized and they approximately correspond to clinical and laboratory practical experience. Intensity of staining depends on the period of immersion in the dye. Real staining protocol depends on personal requests and priorities. Preparing the sample and diagnostics Use only appropriate instruments for collecting and preparing the samples. Process the samples with modern technology and mark them clearly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for handling. In order to avoid mistakes, the staining procedure and diagnostics should only be conducted by authorized and qualified personnel. Use only microscope according to standards of the medical diagnostic laboratory.

Total Polyphenols Direct

Quantitative Determination of total polyphenols in edible oils, wine and food Description The antioxidant capacity of polyphenols plays an important role in the stability of olive oil, as there is a correlation between the amount of total polyphenols and resistance to oxidation. Polyphenols have a protective effect on the cells of the human body because they oppose the negative effects of free radicals. These polyphenols in olive oil act as natural antioxidants. The amount of polyphenols decreases during olive oil extraction, so the test can be used to optimize the processing. Olive oil is rich in polyphenols, which form its "polar fraction" and prevent its self-oxidation, thus giving it its excellent thermal stability and contributing to its characteristic aroma and taste. The main ones are: tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein and protocatechuic, gallic, vanillic, vanillic, p-hydroxybenzoic, syringic, 4-hydroxyphenyl acetate, omavanillic, quinamic, o-coumaric, p-coumaric, caffeic, ferulic and sinoacetic acids. The main antioxidants of olive oil are considered to be tocopherols, the main representative being alpha-tocopherol, and phenolic compounds. Vitamin E with its parent compound tocol consists of two series of compounds: tocopherols and tocotrienols. The tocopherols are divided into a-tocopherol, b-tocopherol, c-tocopherol, and d-tocopherol, while the tocotrienols are divided into a-, b-, c-, and d-tocotrienol. The total biological activity of vitamin E is mainly due to the presence of αtocopherol. It is the alpha-tocopherol that exerts the greatest biological activity in the human body and is the reference for the action of the other forms of vitamin E. All tocopherols are natural antioxidants of oils, since they have an antioxidant activity that increases from a to d. The stability of olive oil to oxidation is largely due to the presence of tocopherols, which are easily oxidised. A-tocopherol is traditionally considered the main antioxidant in olive oil. It constitutes about 90% of all tocopherols and normally ranges from 100 to 300 ppm (Blekas et al., 1995; Psomiadou and Tsimidou, 1998). c-Tocopherol constitutes about 8% of all tocopherols in olive oil, while b-, d-tocopherols are only present in trace amounts (Andrikopoulos et al., 1989). Vitamin E is an important natural antioxidant of oils, since it inhibits the oxidation of their fatty substances (triglycerides), and protects olive oil from peroxidation and the free radical propagation mechanism.
