Phosphate and ATPase Determination Using the μQuant Scanning Microplate Spectrophotometer
ثبت نشده
چکیده
There are a large number of assays in cellular and molecular biology that either produce or consume inorganic phosphate. Therefore, the ability to quantitatively measure these phosphorous compounds can allow the assessment of the associated enzymes. Here we describe the use of the mQuant Scanning microplate spectrophotometer to quantitate ATPase activity by measuring inorganic phosphate in solution.

Use of the Spectral Scanning Capabilities of the PowerWaveTM 200 Microplate Spectrophotometer
Introduction The spectral analysis of samples has a number of different purposes. The most obvious is the determination of the wavelength of light that is absorbed maximally by a particular solution. Similarly, absorbance profiles can be determined in order to ascertain wavelengths, while not necessarily maximal, that provide adequate absorbance for accurate determination. Contaminants in sampl...
متن کاملHigh-throughput determination of thioglycolic acid lignin from rice
For research and development of plants suitable for forage and biofuel production, the development of a highthroughput system of lignin determination, especially for herbaceous species, is important. However, currently available methods for lignin determination are not suitable for high-throughput analysis of herbaceous samples. In this paper, we describe a straightforward, high-throughput meth...
متن کاملNucleic Acid Purity Assessment using A260/A280 Ratios
A common practice in molecular biology is to perform a quick assessment of the purity of nucleic acid samples by determining the ratio of spectrophotometric absorbance of the sample at 260 nm to that of 280 nm. Here we describe the basis of A260/A280 ratio determinations of nucleic acids and demonstrate the utility of the BioTek PowerWaveTM 200 scanning microplate spectrophotometer to perform t...

متن کاملRapid Measurement of Chlorophylls with a Microplate Reader
This paper describes a robust and rapid procedure for measuring chlorophyll using a microplate reader. The procedure enables direct translation of any published equation developed on a 1-cm pathlength spectrophotometer to any format microplate with any sample volume. Chlorophylls were extracted with methanol because it is compatible with cheap polystyrene plates; however, the principles apply t...
