 HORSERADISH PEROXIDASE CONJUGATES

PRODUCT CODE QUANTITY
Streptavidin-HRP (ELISA) - a high signal specialty conjugate optimized for ELISAs. CJ30H > 3 ml
 
Streptavidin-HRP (IHC) - a specialty conjugate with lower average size designed specifically for immunohistochemistry. CJ31H > 3 ml
 

 
Each conjugate has been purified to remove unreacted components in order to improve sensitivity and reduce non-specific binding. The conjugates are supplied in a mercury-free, stabilized solution and are stable as supplied for at least 12 months when properly stored. A loss of activity may be observed over the course of several weeks after dilution. Shipped with an ice pack for next day delivery. 
Storage: 4°C. DO NOT FREEZE 
Inhibitors: Inhibitors of horseradish peroxidase activity include azide, fluoride, cyanide and sulfide ions. In addition, proteins or other compounds which react directly with hydrogen peroxide will interfere with color development; these include catalase, ascorbate, bilirubin and hemoglobin.

Detection for ELISA: Many substrates and protocols are used (for example, 34 mg o-phenylenediamine per 100 ml 0.1 M citrate buffer pH 5.0, containing 0.012% H2O2). The development reaction may be stopped with 10 µl of 6 N HCl per 100 µl of substrate. This reaction yields a soluble product with an absorption maximum at 492 nm (Tijssen, 1985). Alternatively, a substrate which yields an insoluble product may be employed. Again, many alternatives exist. For example, a substrate solution may be prepared by mixing 40 ml of 50 mM sodium phosphate pH 7.0, containing 0.15 M sodium chloride with 5 ml of methanol containing 10 mg of 3-3' diaminobenzidine and 30 mg of 4-chloronaphthol. Just before use, 10 µl of 30% hydrogen peroxide is added.
