Cayman Chemical PAF ACtylhydrolase asy KIt 96
PAF-AH catalyzes the hydrolysis of the potent biologically-active phospholipid PAF, generating inactive lyso-PAF. Cayman’s PAF-AH assay kit provides an accurate and convenient method for measurement of PAF-AH activity. The assay uses 2-thio PAF which serves as a substrate for PAF-AH. Upon hydrolysis of the acetyl thioester bond at the sn-2 position by PAF-AH, free thiols are detected using Ellman’s reagent.
Cayman Chemical NItrateNItrIte ColorImetrIc
Cayman’s Nitrate/Nitrite Colorimetric Assay Kit provides an accurate and convenient method for measurement of total and individual nitrate and nitrite concentrations in a simple two-step process utilizing nitrate and nitrite standards. The first step is the conversion of nitrate to nitrite utilizing nitrate reductase. The second step is the addition of the Griess Reagents which convert nitrite into a deep purple azo compound (See Figure 2).{1191} Photometric measurement of the absorbance due to this azo chromophore accurately determines NO2- concentration. This kit can be used to measure nitrate and nitrite in plasma/serum, urine, tissue culture media, and tissue homogenates. However, it cannot be used to analyze nitrate and nitrite from an in vitro assay of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in which excess NADPH has been added. For these assays a second method (LDH method) is utilized and is available from Cayman Chemical in a 96 well plate format (Item No. 760871).
Eurofins Discoverx cAMP Hunter eXpress NPY2R CHO-K1 GPCR Assay, 10-Plate Kit. (95-0077E2CP2L)

The cells overexpress wild type NPY2R, a naturally Gi/Go coupled GPCR. Upon activation of NPY2R, the decrease in levels of intracellular cAMP leads to a decreased signal from EFC when the cAMP detection kit is applied. eXpress kits are a convenient, ready-to-use format which contains all materials needed to run the assay, including single-use vials of cryopreserved cells, cell plating media, detection reagent, and assay plates.
