English translation:cyclic guanosine monophosphate | scintillation proximity assay
Explanation:
It's the name of radioimmunoassay kit: cGMP-SPA BIOTRAK, Amersham Biosciences. It would be better to stay it as is.

http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/cgi/content/full/283/2/894

cGMP levels were then determined in samples, using a commercially available ***cGMP radioimmunoassay kit (BIOTRAK cGMP-SPA).


http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/cgi/content/full/302/1/127

[3H]cAMP, [3H]cGMP, [3H]rolipram, ***scintillation proximity assay (SPA)*** beads, and Ficoll-Paque were from Amersham Biosciences UK, Ltd. (Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire, UK).

Here is the description of your analysis:

http://www.chromatography.amershambiosciences.com/aptrix/upp...

Phosphodiesterase [ 3H ]cGMP SPA enzyme assay
• Scintillation proximity assay (SPA)
• Measures either cAMP or cGMP dependent PDE isoenzymes
• Homogeneous assay, performed in microtitre plates or tubes
• Suitable for high throughput screening
• Ready to use buffer
• [3H] tracer included
The assay concept from Amersham Biosciences is based on the observation that linear nucleotides bind preferentially to SPA yttrium silicate beads compared to cyclic nucleotides in the presence of zinc sulphate. Therefore, under optimized conditions, the product of the enzyme reaction binds directly to the SPA beads, and the enzyme substrate will not.

Current Good Manufacturing Practice - Staphylococcal Protein A Test


Explanation:

A possibility; cGMP is correct, the latter part (SPA-test) is an educated guess based on

or, perhaps cGMP is an abbreviation for cyclic guanosine monophosphate, a metabolic regulator.

Pardon.

Explanation:
This is probably an international term (these things usually are), in which case it doesn't require translation. Unless, of course you are required to write it out in full which defeats the purpose of the abbreviated form.
