GENTAUR - Research solutions for the academic, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries

Ultra Pure Grade ADP
Ultra Pure Adenosine 5'-Diphosphate (ADP) > 99.9% Pure

Key Benefits:

>99.9% Pure ADP as tested by P31 NMR - Virtually Free of all ATP contaminants.

Introduction

Commercially available ADP is contaminated with trace amounts of ATP. In bioluminescence assays this trace ATP contamination results in high backgrounds and reduces assay sensitivity. Gentaur’s ADP is purified to remove these trace ATP contaminants and as a result produces ADP that is greater than 99.9% pure.

Molecular weight: 427.20

Molecular formula: C10H15N5O10P2

Applications

This ADP is designed for use in bioluminescence applications where minimal background ATP contamination is required. ADP can be used as a substrate in enzymatic reactions to generate ATP. Subsequently ATP can be detected via the bioluminescence reaction of luciferase/luciferin.
