Detect activity of FVIIIa in plasma, and serum
Serum, plasma
The assay can detect activity as low as 1 ng of FVIIIa in a variety of samples.
Shelf Life: 12 months
Background: The coagulation Factor VIII, also known as anti-hemophilic factor (AHF) is a vital blood-clotting protein. Factor VIII circulates in the bloodstream as an inactive protein, bound to a large multimeric glycoprotein called von Willebrand factor (VWF). Upon an injury to the blood vessel, VWF dissociates from FVIII and releases the active form of FVIII (FVIIIa). In the presence of calcium ions and negatively charged membrane phospholipids, activated factor VIII (FVIIIa) then binds to the activated Factor IX (FIXa) and proteolytically activates factor X (FX) to factor Xa (FXa). MyBioSource's Factor VIIIa Activity Assay kit is based on the ability of FVIIIa to generate FXa. The generated FXa proteolytically cleaves a synthetic substrate and releases a fluorophore, AMC, which can be easily quantified by fluorescence microplate reader. The assay is simple, rapid and can detect activity as low as 1 ng of FVIIIa in a variety of samples.
Summary: Detection method- Fluorescence (Ex/Em = 360/450 nm)

Product Notes
The Factor VIIIa (Catalog #AAA841487) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Determine activity of pure FVIIIa Detect activity of FVIIIa in plasma, and serum. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Factor VIIIa for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Factor VIIIa, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
