Phospholipase A2 Activity Assay Kit (Fluorometric)

Cat.No. :

Kit-1082

Product Overview :

Phospholipase A2 Activity Assay Kit provides a quick, sensitive and simple way for measuring PLA2 activity in various biological samples. In this assay, active PLA2 cleaves a synthetic thiophospholipid, producing a lysothiophospholipid which reacts with a fluorogenic probe to produce a highly fluorescent product detectable in the visible range (Ex/Em= 388/513 nm). The assay is simple to perform, high-throughput adaptable and can detect less than 0.1 mU of PLA2 activity.

Applications :

Measurement of phospholipase A2 activity in various tissues/cells, venoms, secretory fluids.

Storage :

Store kit at -20°C, protected from light. Briefly centrifuge small vials prior to opening. Read entire protocol before performing the assay.

Size :

100 assays

Kit Components :

PLA2 Assay Buffer 25 ml
PLA2 Substrate 40 µl
PLA2 Probe 100 µl
Fluorescence Standard 1 vial
