Mouse Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EPCAM) ELISA Kit

SKU: orb1736639

Description

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Mouse EPCAM. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Mouse EPCAM. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Mouse EPCAM, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of Mouse EPCAM in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

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.

• 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.
