AS01 016S |
PsbA * |
0.25 pmol/ μl |
41.5 kDa# |
To generate a standard curve, 3 loads are suggested (0.5, 2 and 4 ul). For most applications a sample load of 0.2 ug of chlorophyll will give a PsbA signal in this range. A 2 ul load is optimal for most chemiluminescent detection systems to use as a positive control. |
AS01 017S |
RbcL * |
0.15 pmol/ μl |
52.7 kDa |
To generate a standard curve, 3 loads are suggested (0.5, 2 and 4 ul). For most applications a sample load of 0.2 ug of chlorophyll will give a RbcL signal in this range. A 2 ul load is optimal for most chemiluminescent detection systems to use as a positive control. |
AS04 042S |
PsaC * |
0.15 pmol/μl |
11.5 kDa# |
To generate a standard curve, 3 loads are suggested (0.5, 2 and 4 µl). For most applications a sample load of 0.2 µg of chlorophyll will give a PsaC signal in this range. A 2 ul load is optimal for most chemiluminescent detection systems as a positive control. |
*These proteins are larger than a respective native protein due to the addition of His-tag
* For reconstitution of standards see lable on respective tube.
