AP Conjugate Stabilizer/Diluent

Product Discontinued

AP Conjugate Stabilizer/Diluent Summary

• Description: The performance of AP conjugates diminishes over time. There are a number of factors that contribute to loss of performance including:
  
  • Inactivation of AP.
  • Instability of the bond which links AP to the antibody.
  • Microbial attack.
  • Denaturation of the antibody.
  • Loss of performance accelerates with increasing temperature and with increasing dilution of the conjugates.
  For these reasons AP conjugates are often kept in a concentrated form at 4^oC.
  
  The conjugate stabilizer/diluent is a proprietary multi-component reagent system that protects antibody-AP conjugates from all of the negative factors noted above, thus ensuring the best possible performance in experiments performed at room temperature. Moreover, the ability to store AP conjugates at working dilutions eliminates waste and improves consistency from experiment to experiment.
  
  In addition to its proprietary enzyme stabilizers, it contains antimicrobial agents as well as blockers to enhance signal to background in immunoassay applications.

Packaging, Storage & Formulations

• Storage: Store at 4C. Do not freeze.

Background

The performance of Alkaline Phosphatase conjugates diminishes over time. There are a number of factors that contribute to this loss of performance including (i) inactivation of the enzyme, (ii) instability of the bond which links Alkaline Phosphatase to the antibody, (iii) microbial attack and (iv) denaturation of the antibody. Loss of performance accelerates with increasing temperature and with increasing dilution of conjugate. For these reasons Alkaline Phosphatase conjugates are often kept in a concentrated form at 4C. LifeXtend conjugate stabilizer/diluent is a proprietary multi-component reagent system that protects antibody-Alk Phos conjugates from all of the negative factors noted above, thus ensuring the best possible performance in experiments performed at room temperature. Moreover, the ability to store Alkaline Phosphatase conjugates at working concentration eliminates waste and improves consistency from experiment to experiment. In addition to its proprietary enzyme stabilizers, LifeXtend contains antimicrobial agents as well as blockers to enhance signal to background in immunoassay applications.
