1.Preparestocksolutions:
1.1250XAmplite™EthanolReagentstocksolution:Add40μLofDMSO(ComponentD)intothevialofAmplite™EthanolReagent(ComponentA).Thestocksolutionshouldbeusedpromptly.Anyremainingsolutionshouldbealiquotedandrefrozenat-20oC.
Note1:Avoidrepeatedfreeze-thawcycles.
Note2:TheAmplite™EthanolReagentisunstableinthepresenceofthiolssuchasdithiothreitol(DTT)and2-mercaptoethanol.ThefinalconcentrationofDTTor2-mercaptoethanolinthereactionshouldbenohigherthan10μM.TheAmplite™EthanolReagentisalsounstableathighpH(>8.5).Therefore,thereactionshouldbeperformedatpH7–8.Theprovidedassaybuffer(pH7.4)isrecommended.
