Product Information
Antibody/Protein:
The cAMP antibody is a goat polyclonal antibody highly specific for cyclic AMP. Its
cross-reactivity with cGMP is < 0.005%.
Stability:
This product is stable for at least 12 months from the manufacturing date if used
and stored under recommended conditions.
Storage Conditions:
Store undiluted at 4°C protected from light. Freeze-thaw is not recommended and
can cause the beads to form aggregates.
Recommended use:
AlphaScreen® Donor beads are light-sensitive. All Alpha assays using the Donor
beads should be performed under subdued laboratory lighting (< 100 lux). Green
filters (LEE 090 filters (preferred) or Roscolux filters #389 from Rosco) can be
applied to light fixtures.

Quality Control
®
AlphaScreen maximum signal, minimum signal and IC50 are determined by a cAMP competition assay performed
®
on an EnVision HTS Alpha detection instrument. We certify that these results meet our requirements.

Recommended Assay Conditions
Note: This protocol provides a method to verify kit performance and is not representative of an assay. Sufficient
biotinylated-probe and 10x buffer is provided to perform 3 competition curves in triplicate as described.
®
1x Buffer:
Add 500 μL 10x buffer to 4.45 mL Milli-Q H2O (or equivalent). Add 0.05 mL tween20 3% and adjust pH to 7.4.
Acceptor Beads:
Add 5 μL Anti-cAMP Acceptor beads to 245 μL 1x buffer.
Donor beads:
Add 5 μL Streptavidin Donor beads to 730 μL 1x buffer.
Biotinylated-probe:
Add 5 μL biotinylated-cAMP to 195 μL 1x buffer.
cAMP standard:
From the 50 µM cAMP standard, prepare a ½ log dilution series (5 µM to 50 pM) in
1x buffer. Include a buffer only control.
Titration Protocol:
To a white opaque 384-well Optiplate:
1-
Add 5 μL of Anti-cAMP Acceptor beads.
2-
Add 5 μL cAMP standard dilutions (from lowest to highest concentration).
3-
Pre-mix the biotinylated-cAMP and Streptavidin Donor beads from previously diluted
solutions by adding 15 µL of biotinylated-cAMP to the Streptavidin Donor beads dilution.
Incubate the premix and the plate in the dark at room temperature for 30 minutes.
4-
Add 15 μL of premix biotinylated-cAMP/Streptavidin Donor beads.
®
Incubate in the dark at room temperature for 60 minutes and analyze on your AlphaScreen detection
reader.
