The Opentrons Flat Bottom Aluminum Block can be placed directly on the OT-2/Opentrons Flex deck or on the Opentrons Temperature Module. This block can hold flat bottom plates and other flat labware at constant temperature. The aluminum block holds temperatures between 4°C and 95°C when used with the Opentrons Temperature Module (GEN2). This version is only compatible for the Opentrons Flex.

Description

For rapid, sensitive and accurate screening of potential Tyrosinase inhibitors

Tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) is a copper-binding enzyme that is expressed across a vast range of species ranging from bacteria and fungi to mammals. It is involved in two sequential reactions of the melanin synthesis pathway: first being the hydroxylation of a monophenol and second the conversion of an ortho-diphenol to a quinone. Quinone then undergoes a series of reactions including polymerization to form melanin.

Tyrosinase is of great interest to the agriculture industry since it causes browning of fruits, vegetable, and mushrooms, as well as to the cosmetic industry as it causes skin darkening. Development and screening of tyrosinase inhibitors, therefore, is very useful for conditions such as hyperpigmentation and melasma. Tyrosinase activity is significantly increased in melanoma. Therefore, the detection of tyrosinase activity could be promising as a specific diagnostic test for melanoma and may be useful in monitoring patient response to melanoma treatments.

This Tyrosinase Activity Assay Kit is a simple one-step, plate-based assay for the measurement of tyrosinase activity in biological samples. In this assay, tyrosinase catalyzes the conversion of a phenolic substrate to a Quinone intermediate, which reacts with the tyrosine enhancer forming a highly stable chromophore with absorbance at 520 nm. The assay can detect as low as 30 μU Tyrosinase in biological samples.

Highly reproducibility
Highly Sensitive Assay to Screen for Tyrosinase Activity
Stable formulation of ready to use Reaction Facilitator (tyrosinase)

PC-Biotin-PEG4-PEG4-alkyne is useful for introducing a biotin moiety to azide-containing biomolecules using Cu(I)-catalyzed Click Chemistry. The extended hydrophilic spacer arm provides better solubility to the labeled molecules in aqueous media. Captured biomolecules can be efficiently photoreleased using near-UV, low intensity lamp (e.g. 365 nm lamp at 1-5 mW/cm2). Reagent grade, for research purpose.
