Phosphate Assay Kit, BioAssay(TM), Colorimetric

The Phosphate Assay Kit is based on a proprietary formulation of the malachite green dye. The reagent forms a blue colored complex with free orthophosphate. The rapid color formation from the reaction can be conveniently measured on a spectrophotometer (600-660 nm) or on a plate reader. The non-radioactive Colorimetric Assay: kits have been optimized to offer superior sensitivity and prolonged shelf life. The assay is simple and fast, involving a single addition step for phosphate determination. Assays can be performed in tubes, cuvettes or multi-well plates. The assays can be conveniently executed in 96-well plates for high-throughput screening of enzyme inhibitors.\n\nKey Features:\nReagent very stable. Due to our innovative formulation, no precipitation of reagent occurs. Therefore no filtration of reagent is needed prior to assays, as is often required with other commercial kits.\nHigh sensitivity and wide detection range: detection of as little of 20pmoles of phosphate and useful range between 0.4uM and 50uM phosphate.\nFast and convenient: single reagent
