PREDIVEZ Fluorescent Vesicular Transport Kit

The new PREDIVEZ Vesicular Transport Kit is a unique product for measuring the drug-transporter interaction in a convenient, "ready to assay" package. The PREDIVEZ kit operates with fluorescent reporter substrate, and contains all you need to conduct vesicular transport assays, including all necessary reagents and solutions.

SOLVO's PREDIVEZ Kit is available in 3-, 6- and 9-compound sizes.

The PREDIVEZ Vesicular Transport kit is an inhibitory assay. It provides information on any interaction between the ABC transporter and the test drug that would affect the transport of the fluorescent reporter substrate.

The Fluorescent PREDIVEZ Kit delivers major advantages over the conventional radioactive Vesicular Transport assay

Advantages

The reporter substrate provides low non-specific binding, so you can get a larger signal and smaller standard deviations for your test compounds.

  • Sensitive and quick fluorescent measurement With the use of a fluorescent reporter substrate you can avoid radioactive materials and lengthy scintillation counting.
  • Larger dynamic range / signal-to-background ratio compared to the radioactive Vesicular transport assay

  • Instant results
    Data can be presented in transport values (with the help of the calibration curve, included), or in percentages. Negative control vesicles are also included in the kit for performance monitoring.
    3 compounds in 7 concentrations can be screened using one 3-compound Kit.


Reproducible results:

  • Low inter-assay variability
  • Z' factor for MRP2 is ~ 0.74
  • Increased automated system compatibility

Recommended equipment:

  • 96-well filter plates from Millipore (Cat No. MSFB6B) or equivalent
  • Filtration manifold from Millipore (Cat No. MSVMHTS00) or equivalent
  • Fluorescent plate reader

Easy to use
All reagents to perform the assay are included!
