Product Overview
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is distributed in a variety of tissues such as liver, bone, and small intestine in animals. The change of the enzyme activity in tissues is an important hallmark for physiological phenomena as osteogenesis and so on. This kit is for Alkaline Phosphatase assay in a simultaneous multi-sample assay format with a microplate using p-Nitrophenylphosphate as a substrate.
Kit Performance
| Analysis sample | Human Serum Mouse Serum Rat Serum Dog Serum Cat Serum Culture medium (D-MEM)* |
|---|---|
| Calibration curve range | 0.0625-0.5 mmol/L *p-nitrophenol |
| Sample volume | 20 μL |
| Measurement duration | Approx. 20 min |
| Wavelength | 405 nm |
Measurement availability depends on the culture medium, cell type and culture conditions. Please perform a spiked recovery test or dilution linearity test in advance using the culture medium to be used in your experiment.
Example of Calibration Curve

Assay Principle
p-Nitrophenylphosphate is hydrolyzed into p-Nitrophenol and Phosphoric Acid in the carbonate buffer (pH 9.8) in the presence of Alkaline Phosphatase in sample. Released p-Nitrophenol showing yellow color is optically measured at 405 nm wavelength as the enzyme activity.

Procedure
Perform the assay in the wells according to the following table scheme.

FAQ
About calibration curve
- Are there any precautions to consider when generating the calibration curve?
- Even when distilled water is used as the sample, a background absorbance of approximately 0.3 OD is observed. Therefore, when measuring samples, we recommend subtracting the background OD value prior to generating the calibration curve. If the measured absorbance values differ significantly from the calibration curve shown, please review the following points.
- Ensure that no undissolved substrate tablet remains (allow the tablet to dissolve completely).
- Check the condition of the substrate solution (store refrigerated and protected from light; use within 2 weeks).
- Strictly adhere to the specified enzyme reaction temperature (37°C) and reaction time (15 minutes).
About sample
- What should I do with samples that exceed the measurable range?
- For samples exceeding the upper limit of the assay range, dilute the sample with distilled water or an appropriate buffer prior to measurement. Do not use phosphate-based buffers. Multiply the result by the dilution factor to obtain the final value.
- Is there any influence from substances that interfere with measurement (bilirubin, etc.)?
- Hemolysis and bilirubin have almost no effect on the measured values.
About kit usage
