Alkaline phosphatase dephosphorylates ECF Substrate to produce a fluorescent product, which localizes at the site of catalysis. Product fluoresces at 540 to 560nm when excited at the appropriate wavelength.
A fluorescent substrate for alkaline phosphatase-based detection of protein blots, for use with fluorescence scanning equipment such as Storm instruments
For use in western blotting, dot, and slot blotting applications
Sensitivity comparable to chemiluminescence
The wider dynamic range of fluorescence scanning systems compared with film allows visualisation and quantitation of weak and dark bands in the same scan
Eliminates need for darkroom and film
The following reagents are provided, sufficient for detecting 2500cm2 membrane: 36mg ECF substrate and 60mL dilution buffer
