Manufacturing Date: April 16, 2015 Kit Components: Component Anti-cAMP Acceptor Beads at 5 mg/mL in 1X PBS, 0.05% Proclin-300, pH 7.2 Streptavidin Donor Beads at 5 mg/mL in 1X PBS, 0.05% Proclin-300, pH 7.2 6760635D 1 x 100 µL 6760635M 1 x 1 mL 6760635R 1 x 5 mL (6760101B) (6760100B) (6760101) 1 x 100 µL 1 x 1 mL 1 x 5 mL (6760003B) (6760004) (6760004B) Biotinylated-cAMP Tracer Solid 1 x 10 nmol 1 x 10 nmol 1 x 65 nmol (6760301) (6760301) (6760301B) cAMP standard at 50 µM 1 x 1 mL 1 x 1 mL 1 x 1 mL (FP1283) (FP1283) (FP1283) 10x Buffer : AlphaLISA Immunoassay Buffer** 1 x 2 mL 1 x 10 mL 1 x 100 mL (6760040G) (6760040G) (6760040G) ** Extra buffer can be ordered separately (cat # AL000C: 10 mL, cat # AL000F: 100 mL). 1X PBS ph 7.4 is not included. It can be ordered from Gibco (cat# 10010-023) Product Information Antibody/Protein: The cAMP antibody is a rabbit monoclonal antibody highly specific for cyclic AMP. Its cross-reactivity with cGMP is < 0.005%. Stability: This product is stable for at least 6 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.

We certify that these results meet our requirements. TEST RESULTS Maximum signal Minimum signal LDL (nM) IC50 (nM) 297923 1277 1.461 5.944 Recommended Assay Conditions Note: This protocol provides a method to verify kit performance and is not representative of an assay. Sufficient biotinylated cAMP-Tracer 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). Acceptor Beads: Add 5 μL Anti-cAMP Acceptor beads to 495 μL 1x buffer. biotinylated cAMP-Tracer: Dissolve biotinylated cAMP-Tracer (10 nmol) in 1 mL 1X PBS (final 10 μM) Further dilute 10X in 1 X PBS, pH 7.4 to obtain a 1 M solution. *Solids may not be visible deposited along the walls of the tube* Donor beads: Add 6.25 μL Streptavidin Donor beads to 579.75 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 10 μL of Anti-cAMP Acceptor beads. 2- Add 5 μL cAMP standard dilutions (from lowest to highest concentration). 3- Pre-mix the biotinylated cAMP-Tracer and Streptavidin Donor beads from previously diluted solutions by adding 39 µL of biotinylated cAMP-Tracer to the Streptavidin Donor beads dilution. Incubate the premix and the plate in the dark at room temperature for 30 minutes. 4- Add 10 μL of premix biotinylated cAMP-Tracer /Streptavidin Donor beads. ® Incubate in the dark at room temperature for 60 minutes and analyze on your AlphaScreen detection reader.
