Yttrium spa beads

Manufactured by PerkinElmer

Yttrium SPA beads are a type of scintillation proximity assay (SPA) beads made from yttrium oxide. SPA beads are designed to facilitate the detection and measurement of radioactive signals within a biological sample. The yttrium oxide composition of these beads provides a high-density substrate that efficiently captures and amplifies the radioactive signal, enabling sensitive and accurate assay results.

Example 6

The affinity of compounds 8c to colchicine binding site was determined using colchicine Site Competitive Assay kit CytoDYNAMIX Screen15 (Cytoskeleton, Inc., CO, USA) using the standard protocol of the manufacturer to determine Ki values (μM). Biotin-labelled tubulin (0.5 g) in 10 μL of reaction buffer was mixed with [3H]colchicine (0.08 μM, PerkinElmer, Waltham, Mass.) and the test compounds (positive control colchicine, negative control vinblastine, G-1, fluorescent G-1, or 2-ME) in a 96-well plate (final volume: 100 μL). After incubating for 2 h at 37° C. with gentle shaking, streptavidin-labelled yttrium SPA beads (80 g in 20 μL reaction buffer, PerkinElmer, Waltham, Mass.) were added to each well and incubated for 30 min at 4° C. The plates were then read on a scintillation counter (Packard Instrument, Topcount Microplate Reader) and the percentage of inhibition was calculated [54]

The affinity of compounds 12c to colchicine binding site was determined using colchicine Site Competitive Assay kit CytoDYNAMIX Screen15 (Cytoskeleton, Inc., Denver, CO, USA) using the standard protocol of the manufacturer to determine Ki. Biotin-labelled tubulin (0.5 µg) in 10 µL of reaction buffer was mixed with [3H]colchicine (0.08 µM, PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA) and the test compounds (positive control colchicine, negative control vinblastine, G-1, fluorescent G-1, or 2-ME) in a 96-well plate (final volume: 100 µL). After incubating for 2 h at 37 °C with gentle shaking, streptavidin-labelled yttrium SPA beads (80 µg in 20 µL reaction buffer, PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA) were added to each well and incubated for 30 min at 4 °C. The plates were then read on a scintillation counter (Packard Instrument, Topcount Microplate Reader) and the percentage of inhibition was calculated50 (link),51 (link).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
