Can the QuantaRed Enhanced Chemifluorescent HRP Substrate signal be measured in a kinetic mode without stopping the reaction?
To measure in a kinetic mode, simply omit the Stop Solution. At high HRP concentrations and prolonged reaction times, the fluorescent product may self-quench, which is observed as continuous color development without a change in fluorescent intensity. Optimization of the detection antibody or HRP conjugate is required to determine the linear range of a particular assay system.
What types of plates are compatible with the QuantaRed Enhanced Chemifluorescent HRP Substrate?
Black opaque plates typically produce the best results. White opaque plates also can be used, but might produce higher backgrounds. A variety of other plate types, such as gray or opaque plates with transparent bottoms are also useful with this substrate. Use clear plates if the absorbance of the colored product will be measure instead of the fluorescence.
