KPL's cost-effective substrates and general-purpose reagents can be extensively applied to various experimental platforms, including Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), and Enzyme-Linked Immunospot Assay (ELISpot). This article will focus on introducing the cost-effective substrate product series under the KPL brand that are suitable for Western blotting technology.Western Blot technology Western Blot technology is an immunoblotting technique used for detecting specific proteins, and it is one of the most popular methods in the field of immunoassays. Based on protein separation by molecular weight and specific antibody recognition, it involves separating proteins via electrophoresis, transferring them onto a solid-phase membrane, and then using specific antibodies for detection. In a Western Blot experiment, signal detection is a critical step, serving to visualize and quantify the target protein. In the past, colorimetric detection and low-sensitivity chemiluminescent detection drove the expansion of related research. However, with the continuous increase in requirements for detection sensitivity and advancements in imaging analysis systems, the design of chemiluminescent molecules has also achieved significant progress, enabling detection with higher sensitivity. In the Western Blot experimental system, high-quality substrates are crucial for achieving high sensitivity and low background signals. The chromogenic substrates and chemiluminescent substrates provided by KPL, with their excellent performance and reliable quality, have become core components of the Western Blot experimental system, helping researchers obtain more ideal experimental results.Chemiluminescence Chemiluminescence is the optimal choice for detecting trace proteins.

When approximately 90% of adults worldwide carry at least one type of herpes virus (such as HSV, EBV, and CMV), tools for the accurate detection and research of these "latent pathogens" become the core competitiveness in virology research. As a brand under the LGC Group focusing on virology reagents, Virusys has established itself as a reliable partner for researchers unraveling the mysteries of herpes viruses, backed by its strong capabilities—offering over 70 highly specific monoclonal antibodies and having one-third of its products featured in academic journals.Herpes viruses are a group of enveloped double-stranded DNA viruses belonging to the Herpesviridae family. To date, more than 100 types of herpes viruses have been identified. Herpes viruses associated with human infections are referred to as Human Herpesviruses (HHV). Based on their genetic structure, homology, and related characteristics, human herpes viruses are classified into three subfamilies: Alphaherpesvirinae, Betaherpesvirinae, and Gammaherpesvirinae. Among them, HSV-1, HSV-2, and VZV belong to the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily; HCMV, HHV-6, and HHV-7 belong to the Betaherpesvirinae subfamily; and EBV and HHV-8 belong to the Gammaherpesvirinae subfamily. These viruses can cause a variety of diseases, ranging from common oral and genital herpes to severe congenital infections and certain types of cancer. Understanding these viruses is conducive to better research on their biological characteristics, pathogenic mechanisms, and the development of corresponding therapeutic methods.

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is a major pathogen that widely infects humans, mainly classified into two types: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Its infection can cause a variety of diseases, ranging from oral herpes to severe encephalitis. An in-depth understanding of the HSV life cycle is the foundation for developing effective diagnostic methods and intervention strategies.HSV infection relies on a series of key proteins, among which envelope glycoproteins (such as gD, gB, gC, gE, gG, and gH/gL) are core targets. Specifically, gD is responsible for initiating binding to host receptors and serves as the primary target of neutralizing antibodies; while gB, due to its high conservation, has become a preferred target for the development of vaccines and therapeutic antibodies. Immediate-early proteins (such as ICP0 and ICP4) act as "switches" for viral gene expression—their presence marks the onset of viral infection and represents important potential targets for antiviral drug screening.Targeting these core molecules, Virusys offers a range of validated, high-quality HSV antibodies. Whether for glycoprotein research aimed at uncovering viral entry mechanisms, or for the detection of immediate-early proteins during the early stage of viral replication, our products provide accurate recognition, flexible application, and reliable data support. We are committed to accelerating your research in the fields of vaccine development, diagnostic tool creation, and pathogenic mechanism exploration.

L-Cystine, also known as Diaminoalanine, is a sulfur-containing amino acid that exists in small amounts in proteins and is mostly found in keratin of hair, nails, etc. The structural formula of cystine is as follows:L-Cystine dihydrochloride is the stable salt form of L-cystine, and its structural formula is as follows:L-cystine itself has a very low solubility in water, but its dihydrochloride form greatly enhances water solubility, making it more convenient to use in liquid culture media and drug preparations. Therefore, the function of "L-cystine" discussed is usually realized in practical operation in the form of "L-cystine dihydrochloride". Their applications in biopharmaceuticals mainly fall into two major fields: as key additives in cell culture media and as excipients or stabilizers in drug formulations. 1. As key additive in cell culture mediaThis is the most important and core application of L-cysteine in biopharmaceuticals. ① Provide essential amino acids to support cell growthCells take L-cystine into the cell through transport proteins on their cell membranes, and then rapidly reduce L-cystine to two molecules of L-cysteine in a reducing environment. ② It regulates the REDOX balance and is a precursor for glutathione synthesisL-cysteine is the rate-limiting raw material for the synthesis of glutathione (GSH), the most important antioxidant in cells. GSH can effectively eliminate ROS, protect cells from damage, reduce apoptosis, thereby extending the culture time and increasing the yield of target proteins. ③ Promote the formation of correct disulfide bondsTherapeutic proteins, especially antibodies, rely on correct intramolecular and intermolecular disulfide bond connections for their complex structures. L-cysteine/cysteine, as a direct participant in disulfide bonds, can ensure that disulfide bonds are formed rapidly and accurately during protein synthesis and folding. 2. As an active ingredient in drug preparationsIn addition to being used as an additive in cell culture, L-cystine itself can also be used as a drug or a drug excipient. ① As a therapeutic drugHair and skin health: Cystine is an important component of keratin, which is the main structural protein of hair, skin and nails. Therefore, it is sometimes used as an ingredient in compound preparations to treat hair loss or improve skin conditions.Antioxidant therapy: As a precursor of glutathione, it can theoretically be used to enhance the body's antioxidant capacity, but it is usually used in combination with other drugs (such as B vitamins). ② As an excipient or stabilizer for drug preparationsAntioxidants: By taking advantage of its reducing property, L-cysteine can protect drug components from oxidation and degradation, thereby extending the efficacy period of the drug.Stabilizer: In some specific biopharmaceutical formulations, L-cysteine may help maintain the stability of protein drugs. 3. Advantages of L-Cystine dihydrochlorideStability: Compared with L-cystine, L-cystine dihydrochloride is more stable in both solid state and solution, less prone to moisture absorption and oxidation, and is convenient for storage and weighing.High solubility: It is easy to prepare into a high-concentration stock solution and convenient to add to the culture medium. SummaryL-cystine and L-cystine dihydrochloride are important multifunctional molecules in biopharmaceuticals. Its core value lies in serving as a key additive in cell culture media, by supporting cell growth, maintaining REDOX homeostasis and promoting correct protein folding.

Introduction Oncolytic viruses, like herpes simplex virus (HSV) and vaccinia virus (VACV), are gaining traction in cancer therapy due to their selective replication in tumor cells, capacity to induce cell lysis, and ability to trigger anti-tumor immune responses. Similarly, pseudotyped lentiviral vectors (LVV), such as GalV and VSV-G, enhance gene therapy by enabling cell-type-specific transduction. This can can impact downstream purification strategies. Traditional resin-based chromatography approaches face limitations in scalability, yield, and host cell protein (HCP) clearance. To address these bottlenecks, this study investigates a novel nanofiber-based adsorbent as an alternative purification strategy. This innovative platform offers promising advantages in binding capacity, impurity clearance, and process throughput, potentially transforming the downstream processing of large viral vectors. Larger viral vectors for gene therapy: LVV, HSV, and VACV Aims of study ? Evaluate purification performance of a novel nanofiber adsorbent for LVV with different pseudotyped envelopes (VSV-G, 4070A, GalV) and oncolytic virus such as HSV ? Assess host cell driven proteins and dsDNA removal to determine impurity clearance capability ? Investigate scalability potential for industrial implementation of nanofiber-based purification 1. Pseudotyped LVV production and purification workflow 2. Higher binding capacity of VSV-G LVV particles using LentiHERO® nanofiber adsorbent LentiHERO® processed large feed volumes before breakthrough of functional and physical LVV particles. 3. Maximizing the LVV recovery yield with high purity via optimized protocol 82% lentiviral recovery with yields > 2E+9 TU/mL of adsorbent and > 90% dsDNA/HCP clearance 4. Processing with LentiHERO® greatly reduces volumes for formulation at manufacturing scale ? Arginine elution eliminates the need for post-elution dilution, simplifying the process ? Low salt or arginine elution minimizes buffer consumption and reduces processing volume 5. Non-VSV-G pseudotyped LVV purification by LentiHERO®1 Lentiviruses can be pseudotyped with different envelope glycoproteins to enhance transduction efficiency and specific tropism. This impacts downstream purification strategies. ? Efficient purification of non-VSV-G lentiviral vectors (4070A: 100%, GalV: 36%) achieved ? Robust impurity reduction: >98% host cell proteins and >87% residual dsDNA without compromising vector functionality 6. Upstream-downstream workflow of oncolytic HSV-1 7. HSV purification profile on LentiHERO® using wt HSV-1(KOS) Load volume 15 mL to a screening device measured 1.5E+10 IU/mL adsorbent. Infectious HSV recovery yield was 56%, 9.2E+9 IU/mL adsorbent. Most infectious HSV eluted at 0.6 M NaCl. 8. HSV purification profile on LentiHERO® using pBACYAC-HSV-1(KOS) Load volume 20 mL to a screening device measured on average 3E+8 IU/mL adsorbent.

Cygnus Recombinant Trypsin Residue Detection Kit
Trypsin is a serine protease that specifically recognizes and cleaves the arginine-lysine (Arg-Lys) peptide bonds in adhesion proteins on the cell surface. It plays a critical role in cell-based vaccine production and gene therapy cell culture, and is widely used to dissociate adherent cells such as HEK293 and Vero, enabling their efficient separation from the surface of culture vessels. However, residual recombinant trypsin in the final product may not only affect process efficiency and product integrity, but also pose potential safety risks. In response to this, the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2025) has established clear regulatory requirements: · In the general chapter of biological products, Quality Control of Raw Materials and Excipients for Biological Product Production, protein hydrolases of non-animal origin are classified as medium-risk raw materials; · Meanwhile, the General Principles for Human Gene Therapy Products stipulates that potential process-related impurities shall be identified, evaluated, and subject to qualitative and/or quantitative analysis. To accurately monitor and control this critical residual impurity, Cygnus Technologies has launched a new rTrypsin ELISA Detection Kit. Based on the sandwich ELISA principle, this kit features simple operation. During its development, antibodies were prepared using recombinant porcine trypsin and subjected to strict antigen-affinity purification—ensuring high specificity of the antibodies for the target molecule.

To date, the ELISA method remains the gold standard for detecting and quantifying Host Cell Proteins (HCPs) in process monitoring and product batch release. Cygnus has been providing HCP detection kits for over 25 years, and has developed numerous patented methods to produce antibodies with broad reactivity against HCPs. Currently, it offers more than 32 types of HCP ELISA detection kits tailored to different expression platforms. Cygnus' ELISA kits utilize pre-coated plates, where antigens and detection antibodies are added simultaneously for incubation during the assay. In reality, HCP detection is quite complex, as it primarily relies on HCP antibodies capable of reacting with thousands of HCP species. For ELISA results to be accurate, both the capture antibodies and detection antibodies targeting the antigens must be in excess. Only under the condition of excess antibodies can a dose-response curve with a positive slope be obtained, thereby enabling accurate quantification. Therefore, a rational plate layout setup is an excellent starting point. Basic Procedure for Cygnus HCP ELISA Assay I. HCP ELISA Plate Layout Specifications 1. Requirement for Technical Replicates A triplicate well design is recommended, as it is the most effective approach. It allows for the identification and elimination of potential outliers and provides more information when troubleshooting issues after the experiment. It should be noted that if the number of test samples does not support triplicate wells, at least duplicate wells must be set up—detection without any technical replicates is considered invalid. If possible, it is preferable to set up triplicate wells for both standards and controls. 2. Blank Control Setting up additional blank controls is not recommended. Subtracting blank control values will not improve experimental results; in fact, it may even lead to an increase in the Coefficient of Variation (CV). For details, please refer to the document How Should Blank Controls Be Set Up When Using Cygnus ELISA Kits?. 3. Setting Up Positive Controls Use a standard within the mid-concentration range of the standard curve as the positive control (low-concentration standards are more affected by assay sensitivity). When using a positive control derived from HCP standards, the mid-concentration point of the curve typically provides the most information. 4. Setting Up Negative Controls Use sample dilution buffer as the negative control to evaluate whether there is a significant deviation between the 0-concentration standard and the dilution buffer used. 5. Setting Up 1–2 Additional HCP Controls A well-characterized in-process sample from the manufacturing workflow can be used as an additional HCP control. If there are extra wells available, setting up two dilutions of this sample is more effective than using only one dilution. 6. Optimizing Sample Loading with Low-Bind Plates When loading samples into the well, the most important considerations are: how long each step will take and the direction of movement for each step. To address this, pre-aliquot the test samples and enzyme-conjugated secondary antibodies into a low-bind plate first, then transfer the entire volume to the assay plate. This method significantly reduces sample loading errors when adding samples to the assay plate. II. Example of ELISA Plate Layout The optimal way to arrange samples is to place standards on the left side of the plate and controls (negative or positive) on the right side. Meanwhile, factors such as the number of technical replicates required, sample dilution gradients, and the direction of movement during sample loading and plate washing must also be considered. By placing standards and quality control samples on opposite sides of the plate, you ensure that the same information can be obtained from either side of the plate. This clearly reveals any operational errors that may occur during sample loading or plate washing, and adjusting the positions of these wells within the plate enables more effective troubleshooting. 1. Recommended Schematic for Triplicate Well Layout For 5 samples with 4 dilution gradients: all standards, samples, and controls are set up in triplicate wells.2. Recommended Schematic for Duplicate Well Plate Layout For 4 samples and spiked control samples, 4 dilution gradients are set for each. All standards, samples, and control samples are arranged in duplicate wells. 3. Recommended Schematic for Plate Layout of HCP Samples with Unknown Concentrations For 4 samples, 8 dilution gradients are set up to collect most of the information about samples with unknown HCP levels. Additional plate layout examples can be found at the end of the document. III. Troubleshooting and Solutions for Common HCP ELISA Plate Layout Issues 1. Sample Loading Problems During the HCP ELISA assay, every 2 minutes of static incubation is equivalent to 1 minute of shaking incubation. In other words, if sample loading takes 20 minutes, the samples added first will have an incubation time 10 minutes longer than those added last. Suppose the shaking incubation time is set to 1 hour, while sample loading alone takes 20 minutes—this will inevitably lead to differences in binding efficiency between the samples added earlier and later. Specifically, the samples added first will show abnormally high Optical Density (OD) values. Therefore, the core principle of sample loading is to ensure that the incubation time is as consistent as possible across all wells in the plate. If a large number of samples need to be tested at one time, to avoid excessive time spent on sample loading, we recommend pre-adding the samples and enzyme-conjugated antibodies into a low-bind plate first, then quickly transferring them to the assay plate using a multi-channel pipette. Practice has proven that this operation method can effectively resolve result abnormalities caused by differences in sample loading time. 2. Plate Washing Problems Improper plate washing operations can also lead to abnormalities in assay results. Similar to sample loading, the core principle to follow for HCP ELISA plate washing is alternating-direction washing—that is, ensuring the total washing time is as consistent as possible across all wells. For precautions regarding plate washing operations, please refer to the document How to Resolve ELISA Assay Result Drift with Correct Plate Washing Methods?. IV. Common Error Cases and Improvement Methods Case 1: Errors Caused by Slow Sample Loading If the same sample is loaded slowly into each well in the direction from Row A to Row H and Column 1 to Column 12 sequentially, this loading method will affect the assay results—even if the correct plate washing method is adopted. The following heatmap example shows what happens when the same sample is added to the microplate at a slow speed. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 A 1.000 0.976 0.952 0.928 0.904 0.880 0.856 0.832 0.808 0.784 0.760 0.736 B 0.997 0.973 0.949 0.925 0.901 0.877 0.853 0.829 0.805 0.781 0.757 0.733 C 0.994 0.970 0.946 0.922 0.898 0.874 0.850 0.826 0.802 0.778 0.754 0.730 D 0.991 0.967 0.943 0.919 0.895 0.871 0.847 0.823 0.799 0.775 0.751 0.727 E 0.988 0.964 0.940 0.916 0.892 0.868 0.844 0.820 0.796 0.772 0.748 0.724 F 0.985 0.961 0.937 0.913 0.889 0.865 0.841 0.817 0.793 0.769 0.745 0.721 G 0.982 0.958 0.934 0.910 0.886 0.862 0.838 0.814 0.790 0.766 0.742 0.718 H 0.979 0.955 0.931 0.907 0.883 0.859 0.835 0.811 0.787 0.763 0.739 0.715 Improvement Method: First, pre-add the enzyme-conjugated antibodies and samples into a low-bind plate. Then, use a multi-channel pipette to quickly transfer all samples to the assay plate for incubation. This method can effectively reduce the time difference in sample loading between different wells, ensure the incubation time of all wells is as consistent as possible, and thereby reduce the probability of outliers. Case 2: Errors Caused by Plate Washing in the Same Direction If the washing buffer is added in the same direction for all 4 washing cycles, it will also affect the assay results. The following heatmap example shows what may happen when the washing buffer is added in the direction from Column 1 to Column 12 using a multi-channel pipette for all 4 plate washing cycles. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 A 0.670 0.700 0.730 0.760 0.790 0.820 0.850 0.880 0.910 0.940 0.970 1.000 B 0.670 0.700 0.730 0.760 0.790 0.820 0.850 0.880 0.910 0.940 0.970 1.000 C 0.670 0.700 0.730 0.760 0.790 0.820 0.850 0.880 0.910 0.940 0.970 1.000 D 0.670 0.700 0.730 0.760 0.790 0.820 0.850 0.880 0.910 0.940 0.970 1.000 E 0.670 0.700 0.730 0.760 0.790 0.820 0.850 0.880 0.910 0.940 0.970 1.000 F 0.670 0.700 0.730 0.760 0.790 0.820 0.850 0.880 0.910 0.940 0.970 1.000 G 0.670 0.700 0.730 0.760 0.790 0.820 0.850 0.880 0.910 0.940 0.970 1.000 H 0.670 0.700 0.730 0.760 0.790 0.820 0.850 0.880 0.910 0.940 0.970 1.000 Improvement Method:It is recommended to perform plate washing in alternating directions—specifically, add the washing buffer from opposite directions for the 1st and 3rd washing cycles versus the 2nd and 4th washing cycles. V. Cases of Abnormal HCP ELISA Results and TroubleshootingAs shown in the figure below, the test results exhibit a decreasing trend from left to right among the technical replicates of the samples. Additionally, the Optical Density (OD) values of both the negative controls and positive controls on the right side of the plate are lower than those on the left side. The inconsistency between the positive control results on the two sides indicates that this experiment is a failure. Furthermore, the average difference in OD values among the negative control replicates on the left side is 0.01, while the OD values of the negative controls on the right side are close to the background level. Therefore, additional information is required to further determine whether the issue stems from sample loading or plate washing. In summary, the possible causes of the failure in this experiment are: 1. Slow sample loading;2. Failure to perform plate washing in alternating directions. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 A STD 1 Sample 1 Dilution 1 Sample 3 Dilution 1 Sample 5 Dilution 1 B STD 2 Sample 1 Dilution 2 Sample 3 Dilution 2 Sample 5 Dilution 2 C STD 3 Sample 1 Dilution 3 Sample 3 Dilution 3 Sample 5 Dilution 3 D STD 4 Sample 1 Dilution 4 Sample 3 Dilution 4 Sample 5 Dilution 4 E STD 5 Sample 2 Dilution 1 Sample 4 Dilution 1 Negative Control (Diluent) F STD 6 Sample 2 Dilution 2 Sample 4 Dilution 2 Control Dilution 1(External HCP) G STD 7 Sample 2 Dilution 3 Sample 4 Dilution 3 Control Dilution 2 (External HCP) H STD 8 Sample 2 Dilution 4 Sample 4 Dilution 4 Postive Control (STD 5 repeat) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 A 2.500 2.450 2.400 1.200 1.150 1.100 2.000 1.950 1.900 1.700 1.650 1.600 B 1.200 1.150 1.100 0.600 0.550 0.500 1.000 0.950 0.900 0.850 0.800 0.750 C 0.600 0.550 0.500 0.300 0.280 0.260 0.500 0.480 0.460 0.425 0.405 0.385 D 0.300 0.250 0.200 0.150 0.140 0.130 0.250 0.240 0.230 0.212 0.202 0.192 E 0.150 0.130 0.110 1.400 1.350 1.300 0.125 0.115 0.105 0.005 0.005 0.005 F 0.075 0.065 0.055 0.700 0.650 0.600 0.550 0.500 0.450 0.230 0.225 0.220 G 0.038 0.033 0.028 0.350 0.330 0.310 0.290 0.270 0.250 0.115 0.095 0.075 H 0.015 0.010 0.005 0.175 0.165 0.155 0.145 0.135 0.125 0.090 0.080 0.070 Summaryl A rational microplate layout should be planned before conducting an ELISA assay: an optimized microplate layout enables the monitoring of key performance indicators and faster troubleshooting when issues arise. For more plate layout examples, please click here to access them.l Key considerations for HCP ELISA include: setup of technical replicates, sample dilution gradients, sample loading and plate washing operations, and setup of controls.l Optimizing sample loading operations with low-bind plates can minimize deviations in Optical Density (OD) values.l Do not use blank controls, as this practice will increase the coefficient of variation (CV) of the assay results.
