CSPD ready-to-use

CSPD is a chemiluminescent substrate for alkaline phosphatase that enables extremely fast and sensitive detection of biomolecules by producing visible light. Light emission is recorded on X-ray film or on luminescence imager systems.

CSPD ready-to-use has been used for:

• the nonradioactive detection of labeled nucleic acid probes on membrane blots (Southern blot, Northern blot, Western blot and Dot blot)
• colony and plaque hybridization
• gel shift assay
• sequencing

It may be used for the detection of alkaline phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase conjugates either in solution or on solid supports.

For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Purity: Purified by HPLC
Development time: Variable
Note: First exposure to X-ray film should be 15 to 30 minutes. Examine film and then determine other exposure times based on initial result.
Activated by preincubation (10 minutes at +37°C).
Apply substrate quickly to avoid drying of membrane (background).
Do not use plastic wrap to cover blot; use hybridization bags, acetate sheet protectors, or two sheets of transparent film.
Do not use nitrocellulose membranes.
Repeat exposures can be made several days after addition of substrate.
