1. Dilute rhCD38 to 4 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
2. Dilute Substrate to 400 µM in Assay Buffer.
3. Load in plate 50 µL of 4 ng/µL rhCD38, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 400 µM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 400 µM Substrate.
4. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 300 nm and 410 nm (top read), respectively in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
5. Calculate specific activity:
