Product Usage Statements
Intended use
The Calbiochem® Calcineurin Assay Kit is a complete colorimetric assay kit that is suitable for measuring calcineurin activity. It offers the following advantages: • NON-RADIOACTIVE • CONVENIENT 1-STEP DETECTION - no mixing • 96-WELL-PLATE FORMAT- for high-throughput applications.
Please Note: This kit has not been tested for any other phosphatase activity aside from calcineurin (PP2B) activity and inhibitor screening.
Storage and Shipping Information
Ship Code
Dry Ice Only
Toxicity
Multiple Toxicity Values, refer to MSDS
Storage
≤ -70°C
Storage Conditions
Store all components except the 96-Well Plate (room temperature) at -70°C for the highest stability. In particular, calcineurin must be handled with utmost care in order to retain its maximal enzymatic activity. Thaw it quickly in a water bath, maintained at room temperature, or by rubbing between fingers, then immediately store on an ice bath. Any remaining unused enzyme should be quickly refrozen by placing at -70°C. To minimize the number of freeze/thaw cycles, we recommend to aliquot the calcineurin into separate tubes and then store at -70°C.
Do not freeze
