SPA Reagents and Technologies

Scintillation proximity assay (SPA) is a homogeneous and versatile technology for the rapid and sensitive assay of a wide range of biological processes including use with enzyme and receptor targets, radioimmunoassay and molecular interactions. The assay format requires no separation steps, is amenable to automation, and is supported by more than 10 years of application data.

SPAs using either SPA scintillation beads or SPA imaging beads can be read on scintillation counters and CCD imagers respectively. In addition, SPA reagents are suitable for the detection of a range of isotopes including 3H, 125I, 33P and 14C, when used as radiolabels.

For biochemical assays such as receptor binding or enzyme activity, scintillation proximity assay offers a more convenient cost-effective and safer technology for a range of applications.
