Abstract
A new chemiluminescent Southern blot procedure offers molecular biologists a safe, ultrasensitive and rapid alternative to conventional 32P-based systems. This new DNA detection system, SOUTHERN-LIGHT, has been developed by Tropix, Inc. The luminescent signal is produced from a direct chemiluminescent substrate, disodium 3-(4-methoxyspiro[1,2-dioxetane-3-2'-tricyclo-[3.3.1.1 .3,7]decan]-4-yl) phenyl phosphate (AMPPD), which decomposes upon dephosphorylation with alkaline phosphatase. SOUTHERN-LIGHT is an ultrasensitive, rapid detection kit for use with membrane-bound DNA. It is the first test kit to incorporate AMPPD. It requires no specialized equipment and results can be conveniently imaged on instant film or x-ray film within 5-60 min of exposure.Entities:
