Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.
Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 C in the sealed bag provided.
Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.

Gel pack with blue ice.

Thymidine kinase (EC 2.7.1.21) catalyzes the phosphorylation of thymidine to deoxythymidine monophosphate. Genetic variation in soluble thymidine kinase has not been identified in man. Weiss and Green (1967) found that fusion of mouse cells lacking this enzyme with normal human cells could be achieved, that progressive loss of human chromosomes from the hybrid occurred with passage of time, and that at a stage when only one human chromosome remained the cell still had the capacity to synthesize thymidine kinase. Two forms of Thymidine kinase 1, soluble have been identified in animal cells, one in cytosol and one in mitochondria. Activity of the cytosolic enzyme is high in proliferating cells and peaks during the S-phase of the cell cycle; it is very low in resting cells.
