Pierce™ Nickel Coated Plates

These Ni(2+) chelate-coated plates are ideal for analyzing polyhistidine-tagged fusion proteins by ELISA-based methods. Proteins that contain a succession of several histidine residues at the amino or carboxyl terminus have a strong binding affinity for metal. Bacterial lysates containing polyhistidine-tagged fusion proteins can be added directly to the plates without the need for blocking. The clear, white or black plates can be used with colorimetric, chemiluminescent or fluorescent detection methods, respectively.

Thermo Scientific Pierce Nickel Coated White 96-Well Plates provide a simple format to bind His-tagged fusion proteins for ELISA and other plate-based assays involving protein interactions of expressed recombinant proteins. These white plates can be used with chemiluminescent detection methods.

Features of Pierce Nickel Coated Plates include:
• Ni²⁺ activated surface enables metal-chelate binding of His-tagged proteins
• Detergents used to lyse cells don't inhibit binding to activated plates as they do with plain polystyrene
• Better binding for sensitive assays compared to other commercially available nickel-activated plates
• Detection limit: 1 ng of polyhistidine fusion protein
• Binding capacity: approx. 9 pmol His-tagged protein (27 kDa) per well
• Activation level: 200 μL
