Phosphorylation ELISA

Phosphorylation ELISA kits: no western blot needed

Measure pathway activation in a 96-well plate. Choose quantitative sandwich ELISA kits for cell and tissue lysates, or cell-based kits that measure phosphorylated and total protein side by side directly in fixed cells.

Quantitative or cell-based phospho ELISA?

Absolute levels from lysates

Quantitative phospho ELISA

A sandwich ELISA: a capture antibody binds the target from your cell or tissue lysate, and a phospho-specific detection antibody reports the phosphorylated fraction against a standard curve.

  • Cell and tissue lysates
  • Standard curve for quantitation
  • Colorimetric read at 450 nm
Relative levels in whole cells

Cell-based phospho ELISA

Cells are cultured, treated and fixed in the plate, then probed with phospho-specific, total-protein and GAPDH antibodies — ideal for screening activators and inhibitors.

  • No lysate preparation
  • Phospho, total & GAPDH normalisation
  • Colorimetric or fluorometric read

How it works

A cell-based phospho ELISA in four steps

1

Seed & treat

Grow cells in the 96-well plate and apply your activators or inhibitors.

2

Fix & block

Fix cells in situ, quench and block — no lysis required.

3

Probe

Add phospho-specific, total-protein and GAPDH antibodies to matched wells.

4

Read & normalise

HRP detection at 450 nm; report phospho-to-total and normalise to GAPDH.

FAQs

Phosphorylation ELISA FAQs

Why use a phospho ELISA instead of a western blot?

A phospho ELISA gives a numeric read-out in a 96-well plate, so you can compare many treatments, doses or time points at once without gels, transfers or densitometry — and with better throughput and reproducibility.

What is the difference between quantitative and cell-based phospho ELISA kits?

Quantitative kits are sandwich ELISAs that measure the phosphorylated protein in cell or tissue lysates against a standard curve. Cell-based kits measure phospho and total protein directly in fixed cells in the culture plate — no lysate preparation — and report relative levels for comparing treatments.

How are cell-based phospho results normalised?

Each cell-based kit includes antibodies to the phosphorylated target, the total target and GAPDH, so you can report phospho-to-total ratios and normalise to GAPDH. Crystal violet staining can also be used to correct for cell number.

Which species do the kits detect?

Reactivity varies by kit; many detect human, mouse and rat. The reactivity of each kit is shown in the tables above and on its product page.

Can I measure a phospho-site that isn't listed?

The tables show popular sites; many more are in the product listing below. If your target or site isn't available, our PhD-level team can develop a custom phospho ELISA.
