High fluorescent signal at start of run
Protein formed aggregates before the run started. Use a different buffer or additive. Gain setting is too high. Many thermocyclers…

What is the purpose of treating samples with 5% metaphosphoric acid (MPA)?
MPA should be added to fresh samples prior to sample handling or sample storage. That is required to deproteinize samples…

Values for this assay are reported as pmol/well. How can I convert the values obtained by this kit into a value that is more commonly reported in the literature, such as pmol/L (pM)?
Since the volume of sample added to each well is 50µL, results can be converted to molarity by multiplying by…
