> Thanks for your comment. I have in fact tried the NAD/H amplification
system, and my experience was exactly the same as yours. The situation
was even worse when I tried to use tuber sap as opposed to leaf sap. I
have also used a luminescence based assay, which did actually prove to
be about 10 x more sensitive at it's best, but the Titanium oxide plates
I purchased from Dynatech were very unreliable and tended to go of over
time!
Has anyone else had any similar problems?
