Procedure & Performance

• Assay Principle:
  The kit is based on a sandwich enzyme immunoassay principle. The microtiter plate is pre-coated with a capture antibody specific to the target analyte. Standards or samples are added to the wells, followed by a biotin-conjugated detection antibody specific for the analyte. Avidin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is then added and incubated. After addition of the TMB substrate, color develops only in wells containing the analyte bound to the detection antibody and HRP–avidin complex. The reaction is stopped with an acidic solution, and absorbance is measured at 450 nm ± 10 nm. The analyte concentration in the samples is determined by comparison with a standard curve.

• Precision:
  Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): CV% < 8% ; Intra-assay precision was evaluated by testing multiple replicates of samples within the same plate.; ; Inter-assay Precision (precision between assays): CV% < 10% ; Inter-assay precision was evaluated by testing samples across different plates.

• Calculation of Results:
  1. Average the duplicate readings for each Standard, Control, and Sample, and subtract the mean optical density of the zero Standard. ; 2. Construct a standard curve by plotting the target concentration on the y-axis against absorbance on the x-axis and draw a curve through the data points. ; 3. Determine the sample concentration by substituting the OD450 value into the standard curve. For diluted samples, multiply the calculated value by the corresponding dilution factor.
