Glow Type Luminescence
The specifications only apply to 96 well plates.
Luminescence can only be measured in 96 well plates.

DEA activity units/well of molecular biology
grade alkaline phosphatase (20 µl/well) using
CDP-Star (Tropix) chemiluminescent substrate mix
with Emerald-II enhancer (100 µl/well) in a Greiner
96 well white plate. Use of the cover plate greatly
reduces the cross-talk.
