Molecular Probes™ CDP-Star™ Substrate (0.25 mM Ready-To-Use)

The CDP-Star™ Substrate is a chemiluminescent alkaline phosphatase substrate, ready-to-use for protein or nucleic acid blotting on nitrocellulose membranes. This substrate can also be used in solution-based assays.

This CDP-Star™ chemiluminescent substrate for alkaline phosphatase let you detect alkaline phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase-labeled molecules with unparalleled sensitivity, speed, and ease.

• Chemiluminescent substrate provides highly sensitive replacements for the widely used fluorogenic substrate methylumbelliferyl phosphate (MUP), and the colorimetric substrate p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP).
• Low background luminescence coupled with high-intensity light output enables detection of alkaline phosphatase labels with the highest possible sensitivity and signal-to-noise.

This versatile chemiluminescent substrate exhibits high sensitivity in membrane-based applications such as Southern, Northern, and Western blotting. This substrate can also be used in solution-based assays such as immunoassays, DNA probe assays, enzyme assays, and reporter gene assays. Maximum light levels are reached in approximately 10 minutes and glow emission persists for several hours.
