AMPPD, short for 3-(2′-spiroadamantane)-4-methoxy-4-(3″-phosphoryloxy)phenyl-1,2-dioxetane, is a chemiluminescent substrate commonly used in biological and immunoassay applications. It is widely used in molecular biology research, diagnostics, and life sciences.
AMPPD is specifically designed to be used in combination with alkaline phosphatase enzyme conjugates. When exposed to alkaline phosphatase, AMPPD undergoes a rapid and efficient enzymatic cleavage reaction, leading to the emission of light.
The emitted light from AMPPD is detected using sensitive imaging systems or luminometers, allowing for the quantification and visualization of target molecules or analytes. This chemiluminescence-based detection method offers high sensitivity, low background noise, and a broad dynamic range.
Due to its stability and long-lasting signal, AMPPD is well-suited for applications such as Western blotting, ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), DNA hybridization, and in situ hybridization. It enables researchers to detect and analyze proteins, nucleic acids, antibodies, and other biomolecules.
