1.Preparestocksolutions:
Prepare200XRhodRed™stocksolutionbyadding50µLofsterileH2OintothevialofRhodRed™Indicator(ComponentA).Thestocksolutionshouldbeusedpromptly.Anyremainingsolutionneedstobealiquotedandrefrozenat-20oC.
2.Prepareassayreactionmixture:
Prepareassayreactionmixtureaccordingtothefollowingtable,keptfromlight.
