A Comparison of AlphaLISA Bead-Based Luminescence and Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay Technologies for Detection of Human EPO, Amyloid Beta 42 and VEGF in Complex Sample Matrices
PerkinElmer/The University of Kansas

The University of Kansas in collaboration with PerkinElmer Inc. worked on looking at the comparison of the AlphaLISA Technology and an Electrochemiluminescence Technology to measure assay windows, lower and upper detection limits and intra - and inter-assay precision. In this study, three AlphaLISA no-wash assays, which employ a faster and less complex protocol, were found to deliver highly sensitive and accurate results, equivalent to those obtained in ECL technology.

Real-Time Monitoring of ATP Depletion Suitable for HTS
BioThema AB

ATP depletion assays of kinases, ATPases and aminoacyl tRNA synthetases can be performed in the presence of firefly luciferase/luciferin, by monitoring the light emission continuously. Such assays are preferably set up to result in a first order reaction rate with respect to ATP consumption.
