When using an IMMUNOSET® ELISA development set, how can I avoid evaporation of the solutions while coating, blocking, and assaying?
Seal the plates with a plate sealer, plastic wrap, or foil during incubations.

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…

My maximum binding for acetylated cAMP/cGMP standards and samples is only about 50%. Why?
This occurs if the standards and samples were acetylated but the B0 standard was not. Your data can still be…

I am not getting consistent results with my cAMP/cGMP quantification in cells. I think that my cells may be permeabilized.
For the most consistent results, we recommend that cells be fully disrupted before using the lysate in an assay. Disruption…
