Storage/Stability
Upon receipt, the kit should be stored at -20 °C. Please use within 6 months from the date of shipment. After initial use, Wash Buffer Concentrate (Item B), Assay Diluent (Item E), TMB One-Step Substrate Reagent (Item H), HRP-Streptavidin (Item G), Stop Solution (Item I) and Cell Lysate Buffer (Item J) should be stored at 4 °C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Return unused wells to the pouch containing desiccant pack, reseal along entire edge and store at -20 °C. Reconstituted Positive Control (Item K) should be stored at -70 °C.
5 steps for writing a research paper
In this white paper, learn about the editorial process a manuscript goes through before publication. Publications are the cornerstone of science; they disseminate data that expand our understanding of the world around us and help researchers secure funding for additional studies. However, most manuscripts do not pass the journal’s initial editorial process. Here, discover 5 key steps for writing a research paper that will improve its chances of being published.
Rapid ELISA-Based Measurement of Protein Phosphorylation Using RayBioPhosphorylation ELISA Kits
RayBio® Phosphorylation ELISA is a rapid, convenient and sensitive sandwich ELISA for the in vitro measurement of key signaling pathway phosphoproteins in cell or tissue extracts. Over 20 different kits are available for well-studied pathway molecules such as EGFR, Akt, Erk1/2, p38 alpha, Mek1, STAT1, STAT3, and Met. RayBio Phosphorylation ELISA also features site-specific phospho-antibodies which can detect a single phosphorylated residue (for example, Tyr1086 of EGFR). This method is an improvement on traditional labor-intensive immunoblotting protocols that require 2-3 days of processing time.
Exploring Protein Phosphorylation with RayBio Antibody Arrays and ELISAs
By using antibody arrays and ELISAs, researchers can accomplish high throughput detection of a specific activated protein in multiple samples, or detect phosphorylation signatures through parallel detection of many related phospho-proteins. This application note outline how the RayBio system can be utilized for such applications, as well as a recommended procedure.
