ALP Substrate

pNPP (CAS: 4264-83-9)


In the fields of enzymology research, immunoassay technology, and in vitro diagnostic reagent development, Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is one of the commonly used labeling enzymes in immunoassay systems. Especially in ELISA and enzyme activity studies, the accurate detection of the ALP-catalyzed reaction directly affects the sensitivity and stability of experimental results.

Among numerous detection systems, Disodium 4-Nitrophenyl Phosphate (pNPP) is one of the most widely used chromogenic substrates for alkaline phosphatase. Its reaction mechanism is clear, the detection method is mature, and it enables rapid quantification of enzyme activity through stable color changes, making it a long-standing choice for many laboratories and diagnostic reagent development teams.

1. Product Overview

4264-83-9 Structural Formula

Chinese Name: Disodium 4-Nitrophenyl Phosphate

English Name: Disodium 4-Nitrophenyl Phosphate

Abbreviation: pNPP

CAS Number: 4264-83-9

Molecular Formula: C6H4NNa2O6P

Molecular Weight: 263.05

Specifications: 1 g / 5 g / 25 g (Custom packaging supported)

Form: Lyophilized powder

Product Number: G03010026

Color: Yellow

pNPP is a typical phosphoric ester enzyme substrate. Under alkaline conditions, alkaline phosphatase catalyzes the hydrolysis of its phosphoester bond, producing p-Nitrophenol and inorganic phosphate.

The produced p-Nitrophenol appears yellow in an alkaline environment and has a distinct absorption peak at 405 nm. By measuring the change in absorbance with a microplate reader or spectrophotometer, alkaline phosphatase activity can be quantitatively analyzed. This reaction system is stable and sensitive, and has become a standard chromogenic system in various immunoassays.



2. Application Scenarios

• Enzyme Activity Studies
For quantitative determination of alkaline phosphatase activity and enzyme kinetic studies.

• IVD Reagent Development
Used in the development of in vitro diagnostic kits based on alkaline phosphatase labeling systems.

• ELISA Detection
As a common chromogenic substrate for alkaline phosphatase labeling systems, used for signal detection in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.



3. Supply Assurance

The biggest pain point when using pNPP substrate is: if the raw material purity is insufficient or contains free impurities, the prepared solution will have a "yellow background", severely compressing the effective reading range of the experiment. GeneSeqTools Bioscience & Technology provides customers with stable product supply and quality assurance:

• Low Background, High Signal: Strictly optimized synthesis and purification processes effectively control residual impurities such as free p-nitrophenol. The product has extremely low background absorption, ensuring purer detection signals, improving the signal-to-noise ratio, and reducing background interference.

• In Stock: Common specifications (1 g / 5 g / 25 g) are kept in ample stock, shipped immediately upon order, avoiding delays in R&D progress due to supply cycles.

• Flexible Customization: Custom packaging and large-scale supply can be provided according to the needs of research institutions or IVD companies, supporting the transition of projects from the R&D phase to industrialization.
