General description

The Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) Kit uses a fluorometric assay to detect AP activity. The kit capability is linear over a wide range of enzyme concentrations, which makes it particularly well suited for comparative analysis.
The gene for alkaline phosphatase (AP) commonly serves as a reporter gene and is used to determine the strength of promoters and enhancers, define the role of transcription factors, assess transfection efficiency and measure the success of molecular cloning attempts. The alkaline phosphatase (AP) kit uses a fluorometric assay to detect AP activity. The kit capability is linear over a wide range of enzyme concentrations, which makes it particularly well suited for comparative analysis.

Application

Alkaline Phosphatase Detection Kit, Fluorescence has been used to determine alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity.
Suitable for measuring the alkaline phosphatase (AP) or secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP)reporter gene activity. The Alkaline Phosphatase Kit can be used to determine the strength of promoters and enhancers, define the role of transcription factors, assess transfection efficiency, and measure the success of molecular cloning attempts.

Also suitable for detection of AP activity in pluripotent stem cells, including embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) helps in hydrolyses and transphosphorylation of several phosphoric acid monoesters. It modulates various intracellular processes, that are associated with cell cycle, apoptosis, growth and signal transduction pathways.

Features and Benefits

  • Up to 100x more sensitive than colorimetric assays
  • SEAP can be measured without sample destrutcion
  • Rapid and reproducible results
  • Safe and easy-to-use

Components

The Alkaline Phosphatase Kit contains:
50mL Fluorescent Assay Buffer ( B6558)
6 mL Dilution Buffer (B6433)
50 μl Alkaline Phosphatase Control Enzyme, 0.1 mg/mL (C9361)
2 x 1 mg 4-Methylumbelliferyl phosphate disodium (M8168)

  1. Which document(s) contains shelf-life or expiration date information for a given product?

    If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.

  2. How do I get lot-specific information or a Certificate of Analysis?

    The lot specific COA document can be found by entering the lot number above under the "Documents" section.

  3. Is Product APF, Alkaline Phosphatase Detection Kit, Fluorescence, used to measure the alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity of cell lysates or the AP activity secreted by cells?

    The technical bulletin provides procedures for both. The kit was originally designed for secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP), because the human placental SEAP standard that comes with the kit is a secreted enzyme. Its activity in the cell sample can be measured nondestructively and repeatedly over time using an aliquot of the culture medium. It saves time required for cell extract preparations.

  4. Is Product APF, Alkaline Phosphatase Detection Kit, used for fluorometric or colorimetric assay?

    The assay used is fluorometric, which is more sensitive than the colorimetric assay.

  5. How do I find price and availability?
