The fluorescence ratio associated with the HTRF
covered by the US patent 5,527,684 and its foreign equivalents, for which Cisbio international has granted a license to
BMG LABTECH. Its application is strictly limited to the use of HTRF® reagents and technology, excluding any other TR-
FRET technologies.
* Limit of detection < 100 amol of biotinylated and phosphorylated polypeptide (P-Tyr-100 assay kit, PerkinElmer, #6760620C),
measured in white 384 small volume microplates (17 µL/well).
