Description
Quantify both endogenous active MMP-9 and total MMP-9
The QuickZyme Human MMP-9 Activity Assay enables you to specifically measure in biological samples both active human MMP-9, as well as (pro)MMP-9 which is activated on the plate by APMA. It can be used for the measurement of MMP-9 activity in various biological samples, such as conditioned culture media, tissue homogenates, serum, plasma and urine.
This 96-well plate format assay is based on the QuickZyme technology, using a modified pro-enzyme as a substrate, which upon activation is able to release color from a chromogenic peptide substrate. This multiplication step provides a unique assay sensitivity.
Features
- Measures both endogenous active MMP-9 (naturally occurring) and total active MMP-9 (following activation with APMA).
- Samples: conditioned cell culture medium, serum, plasma, urine, synovial fluid and tissue homogenates.
- Quantitative.
- Range: 0.5 to 16 ng/ml (1 h incubation with detection reagent), 0.01-1 ng/ml (4 h incubation with detection reagent).
- Sensitivity: 0.005 ng/ml.
- Ease-of-use: Equivalent to ELISA.
