CIP and alkaline phosphatase - what's the difference? (Aug/01/2006 )

As in the title, I have a question about CIP and Alkaline phosphatase. Are they the same thing?

Thanks.

CIP is often short for CIAP = calf intestine alkaline phosphatase

Just use SAP (Shrimp alkaline phosphatase) instead : much better activity, works in most buffers, and easy to inactivate after use.

As Gerd has said, CIP is calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase. So it is actually one type of alkaline phosphatase!
