Product overview
Alkaline Phosphatase Assay Kit (Fluorometric) (ab83371) is a highly sensitive kit to detect alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in serum and other biological samples. In the alkaline phosphatase assay protocol, ALP cleaves the phosphate group of the non-fluorescent 4-Methylumbelliferyl phosphate disodium salt (MUP) substrate, resulting in an increased fluorescent signal (Ex/Em = 360nm/440nm) when the substrate is dephosphorylated.
The kit is an ultra sensitive, simple, direct and HTS-ready assay designed to measure ALP activity with a detection sensitivity ~1 µU, more sensitive than colorimetric assays.
Alkaline phosphatase assay protocol summary:
- add samples and standards to wells
- add reaction mix to wells
- add ALP enzyme solution to standard wells (not to samples)
- incubate for 30 min at room temp
- add stop solution
- analyze with microplate reader -
Notes
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate esters in alkaline buffer and produces an organic radical and inorganic phosphate. The change in alkaline phosphatase level and activity is associated with many diseases in the liver and bones.

Effects of IL-17A and/or TNF-α on alkaline phosphatase activity are shown. hMSCs were plated at a density of 5 x 103 cell/cm2, cells were cultured in osteogenic medium for 14 days, in the absence (0) or presence of TNF-α 1 ng/ml and/or IL-17A 50 ng/ml. ALP activity was measured by fluorometry useing ab83371. Results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. ∗p
