What if my cells are not sufficiently lyzed for cAMP/cGMP quantification after the addition of 0.1M HCl?
Cell or tissue lysis can be enhanced by adding 0.1-1% Triton X-100 to 0.1M HCl prior to use. When used…

Can I store acetylated samples for cAMP/cGMP quantification at a later time?
No. We recommend that only enough samples needed for the current run be acetylated. Samples are more stable when stored…

When using an IMMUNOSET® ELISA development set, will the type of plates I use for coating affect the assay performance?
We recommend using plates made with high binding plastic, similar to Corning plates (2592). The use of different types of…

When using an IMMUNOSET® ELISA development set, can I alter the volume or concentration of antibody for coating?
Altering the volume or concentration of the coating antibody will have an impact on assay performance. Users should validate the…

Is the acetylation step really necessary prior to cAMP/cGMP quantification?
Samples should be acetylated if they contain a very low concentration of cAMP or cGMP, or when greater sensitivity is…

Can any culture medium be used to measure cAMP/cGMP in culture supernatants with cAMP/cGMP ELISA and cAMP/cGMP Complete ELISA kits?
As indicated in the insert, as long as the standard curve is titrated in the same culture media that the…
