I have 3 synthetic peptides that I am using for ELISA: analysis indicate that all of the have good water solubility. They have net charges of -1, -3 and -1.9 at pH 7 with corresponding PIs of 4.73, 3.92 and 4.3 respectively. These are dissolved in carbonate buffer of pH 9.6 and stored in aliquots. Is this pH a good pH for coating my peptides?
And additionally, can UV activation of Corning plates for 30 seconds prior to coating improve on the results?
Thank you ALL in advance.
