Multimodal Device for ATP Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To show the possibility of subsequent downstream detection (post-amperometry), the device design was altered to include a separate port for reagent addition and a channel for mixing and chemiluminescent detection of ATP (Figure 4A-B). A second input for reagent was added at a 90° angle to the channel and the output channel extended to form a mixing T and a reaction and detection channel. ATP detection occurred via the luciferin-luciferase assay as previously reported.22 (link) For this assay, 50 mg of crude firefly lanterns (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO) and 3.2 mg of D-luciferin (Gold Biotechnology, St. Louis, MO) were dissolved in 10 mL of PBS and sterile-filtered. A syringe pump was used to continuously pump reagent through the device at 15 μL/min. The multi-modal device was placed on top of a PMT (Hamamatsu Photonics, Shizuoka, Japan) in a light-excluding box.22 (link) Voltage from the PMT was monitored for ATP quantification. ATP (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO) and norepinephrine (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO) standards were made in PBS the day of use. Traces shown in Figure 4C were smoothed in PeakFit (San Jose, CA) with a small Savitzky-Golay filter (0.5% window) for presentation purposes (to help filter noise).

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.
