<P>Hi,</P>
<P>When switching detection systems it is always safer to check your dilutions again and do a titration run. But instead of switching this, why not get the red substrate that Vector has for Alk-Phos? The kit is like $65.00 and will save more in time an effort on your part. I keep both systems in my lab (HRP & Alk Phos) with red chromogen. We've had good results for the most part.</P>
<P>Good luck.</P>
