Description
p Nitrophenyl Phosphate AP Substrate (Ready-to-Use Buffer)
p-Nitrophenyl Phosphate (pNPP) AP Substrate (Ready-to-Use Buffer) is a high-quality chromogenic substrate solution specifically formulated for alkaline phosphatase (AP)-based detection systems. Designed for convenience, consistency, and reproducibility, this ready-to-use formulation eliminates the need for manual preparation while delivering dependable performance across ELISA, enzyme kinetics, immunoassay, and general alkaline phosphatase detection applications.
At Michigan Diagnostics LLC, we manufacture premium-grade p-Nitrophenyl Phosphate AP Substrate for laboratories, diagnostic developers, and research organizations requiring reliable alkaline phosphatase substrates. Each batch is manufactured under strict quality control standards and supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) to ensure consistent performance.
What is p-Nitrophenyl Phosphate AP Substrate?
p-Nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) is one of the most widely used chromogenic substrates for alkaline phosphatase enzyme detection. In the presence of alkaline phosphatase, pNPP is hydrolyzed into p-nitrophenol, a yellow-colored product that can be quantitatively measured by absorbance at approximately 405 nm.
This visible color development allows researchers and laboratory personnel to monitor enzymatic activity, detect analytes, and quantify assay results with excellent reproducibility.
Because of its reliability and ease of interpretation, pNPP remains one of the most common substrates used in AP-based ELISA and immunoassay systems worldwide.
