Background
Homogeneous Immuno Chemiluminescence Assay (HICA) is a homogeneous immunoassay method based on energy transfer between donor beads and acceptor beads at close proximity to generate chemiluminescence.
Donor beads recognize protein 1 (Tag1 label), while acceptor beads recognize protein 2 (Tag2 label). When protein 1 binds to protein 2, the distance between the beads becomes less than 200 nm. Upon excitation at 680 nm, the donor beads generate singlet oxygen, which diffuses to the acceptor beads. The acceptor beads then undergo a redox reaction, emitting light at 615 nm. The signal intensity is directly proportional to the strength of the protein interaction.
This product features a simple operation process, requires no washing, and offers fast results with high sensitivity. It is capable of detecting weak interactions.

Guidelines
1. This experiment is light-sensitive; ensure all operations are performed under light-protected conditions. It is recommended to conduct preparation, sample loading, and incubation steps under green light (illuminance below 100 LUX).
2. This product is compatible with multifunctional microplate readers equipped with Alpha detection modules.
3. Vortex thoroughly before use, or briefly centrifuge (2000×g, 5–10 seconds) to ensure complete sample retrieval.
4. It is recommended to use the accompanying dilution buffer from our company for reagent preparation and sample dilution. If additional components are required, they can be directly added to this buffer.
5. To ensure comparability of experimental data across different batches, strictly control incubation temperature and duration.
6. Avoid generating bubbles during sample loading.
