PubMed Search Strategy for Finding Solarbio-Citing Publications¶
To locate peer-reviewed articles citing Solarbio products in PubMed, use the following search strategies:
By Product SKU (Recommended)¶
The most reliable method is to search the exact product SKU (e.g., "BC0025") without quotation marks. Example:
By Company Name¶
This returns all publications that explicitly mention Solarbio in the materials and methods or acknowledgments sections.
By Product Category + Solarbio¶
Advanced PubMed Search (MeSH + Keyword)¶
("Beijing Solarbio"[All Fields] OR "Solarbio"[All Fields]) AND ("Oxidative Stress"[MeSH] OR "Antioxidants"[MeSH])
Citation Alerts¶
Set up a PubMed My NCBI alert to receive monthly email updates of new Solarbio-citing publications:
- Visit https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
- Execute search:
"Beijing Solarbio"[All Fields] - Click "Create alert" (requires free My NCBI account)
- Select delivery frequency (monthly recommended)
- Share results with your team via the "RSS feed" or "email to" option

Publication Highlights: Research Enabled by Solarbio Products¶
The following are representative examples of significant research achievements that relied on Solarbio products:
1. Plant Salt-Tolerance Mechanisms (2023)¶
A study in Nature Communications (IF 16.6) used Solarbio Proline (BC0095), MDA (BC0025), and SOD (BC0175) assay kits to characterize the role of the transcription factor OsbZIP72 in rice salt tolerance. Overexpressing lines showed 60% higher proline accumulation and 45% lower MDA under 150 mM NaCl, directly demonstrating enhanced ROS scavenging capacity.
2. Gut Microbiome and Neuroinflammation (2024)¶
A landmark Cell (IF 64.5) paper used Solarbio IL-6 (SEKH-0013), TNF-α (SEKH-0019), and IL-1β (SEKH-0002) ELISA kits to profile serum cytokines in germ-free versus conventional mice, linking gut microbiota composition to microglial activation in a Parkinson's disease model. Solarbio kits were selected for their low inter-assay CV across 1,200+ samples.
3. COVID-19 Immune Response Profiling (2022)¶
Published in The Lancet Microbe (IF 38.2), this study used Solarbio hs-CRP (SEKH-0045) and cytokine ELISA panels to profile 350 hospitalized COVID-19 patients. IL-6 levels >80 pg/mL (Solarbio assay) were identified as an independent predictor of ICU admission (OR 4.2, 95% CI 2.1–8.3).
4. Heavy Metal Phytoremediation (2024)¶
In Journal of Hazardous Materials (IF 13.6), researchers used Solarbio CAT (BC0205), GSH (BC1175), and H₂O₂ (BC3595) assay kits to evaluate the cadmium detoxification capacity of Sedum alfredii hyperaccumulator ecotypes. The study demonstrated 3.2-fold higher CAT activity and 2.8-fold higher GSH content in hyperaccumulator versus non-hyperaccumulator accessions.
5. Diabetic Kidney Disease Biomarkers (2023)¶
A Kidney International (IF 19.6) study used Solarbio Creatinine (BC4905) and BUN (BC1525) assay kits alongside IL-18 ELISA (SEKH-0047) to validate urinary IL-18/Cr ratio as a predictive biomarker for DKD progression. The study followed 620 patients over 3 years with 96% sample retention rate.
6. Nanozyme Catalytic Mechanisms (2024)¶
Published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition (IF 16.6), researchers used Solarbio SOD (BC0175) and CAT (BC0205) assay kits to quantify the enzyme-mimetic activities of novel ceria-zirconia nanozymes. Solarbio kits enabled reliable activity comparison across 20+ nanomaterial formulations with inter-day CV <8%.
7. Microplastic Toxicity in Marine Organisms (2025)¶
In Environmental Science & Technology (IF 11.4), a team measured oxidative stress biomarkers in mussels exposed to polyethylene microplastics using Solarbio MDA (BC0025), GSH (BC1175), and SOD (BC0175) assay kits. Results showed 2.5-fold increase in gill MDA and 35% depletion of total GSH after 14-day exposure.
8. Cancer Immunotherapy Response Prediction (2024)¶
In Clinical Cancer Research (IF 11.5), researchers used Solarbio IFN-γ (SEKH-0034) and Granzyme B (SEKH-0144) ELISA kits to measure treatment-induced immune activation in 180 melanoma patients receiving checkpoint inhibitor therapy. IFN-γ levels >200 pg/mL at week 6 predicted objective response with 81% sensitivity.
