Profiling PDEs with the Transcreener AMP²/GMP² Phosphodiesterase Assay

Transcreener AMP2/GMP2 Assay Kit - TR-FRET Readout

The Transcreener® AMP2/GMP2 Assay kit with TR-FRET readout uses displacement of a tracer by AMP/GMP to measure enzymatic activity. This disrupts FRET from the antibody-bound Terbium chelate leading to a decrease in the TR-FRET signal. In addition to the time-resolved signal, the assay uses a far-red tracer to minimize interference from fluorescent compounds and light scattering. 

The assay produces an excellent signal at low substrate conversions for a broad range of initial substrate concentrations (0.1-1,000 µM). Both reagents & signal are stable at room temperature for over 24 hours, providing outstanding flexibility for automated high-volume screening programs. The universal detection method allows screening of virtually any AMP/GMP-producing enzyme in a high throughput format.

This assay is designed to be used with purified enzyme preparations. Transcreener assays are not validated with cell lysates, blood, serum, or other biological samples.

Validation Criteria for Plate Readers

  • 384-Well Format
  • Z’-Factor ≥ 0.7 at 10% conversion of 10 μM ATP
  • Z’ specifications to be met using Transcreener ADP2 Assay reagents
  • Read time to achieve Z’ specifications ≤ 5 minutes

Look for these stickers on instruments that have successfully met the validation criteria.

The instrument validation program is a collaborative effort with the major suppliers of multimode readers to ensure that Transcreener assays perform optimally on your specific instrument. Scientists at BellBrook and/or the instrument vendor have tested Transcreener reagents with each instrument to determine the optimal filters and settings for maximal assay performance.  We provide you with application notes with all of the important details, so you can be confident of success using Transcreener assays on the instrument of your choice.
