pNPP Phosphatase Assay Kit

The kit is suitable for the quantitative determination of phosphatase activity of protein phosphatases.

The pNPP Phosphatase Assay Kit may be used for:

• Metabolism Research
• Cardiovascular Research
• Neurodegenerative Research

The pNPP Phosphatase Assay kit involves adding a single reagent to the phosphatase and measuring the product formation on an absorbance reader. The assay can be conveniently performed in cuvettes, tubes or multi-well plates at either room temperature or 37 °C.

Simplified Process: Enjoy a hassle-free procedure that can be completed within 30 minutes without wash or reagent transfer steps, saving you time and effort.

Compatibility with High-Throughput Systems: Easily incorporate our kit into high-throughput handling systems, ensuring smooth and accurate processing, enhancing efficiency in your laboratory workflow.

Para-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) is a chromogenic substrate for most phosphatases such as alkaline phosphatases, acid phosphatases, protein tyrosine phosphatases and serine/threonine phosphatases. The reaction yields para-nitrophenol, which becomes an intense yellow soluble product under alkaline conditions and can be conveniently measured at A₄₀₅ nm on a spectrophotometer.
