Characteristics
This ELISA kit is applied to the solid phase sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay. The microplate has been pre-coated with a capture antibody. The antigen to be measured and the HRP-conjugated detection antibody are then added to the microplate wells sequentially to form a capture antibody-antigen-detection antibody complex. After washing, the conjugates uninvolved in the reaction are removed, and then a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells to incubate. TMB substrate solution turns blue after the oxidation of HRP and finally turns yellow immediately after adding the stop solution. The color of the TMB substrate positively correlated with the antigen bound in the initial steps. Measure the absorbance (OD value) at 450nm using a microplate reader, and create a standard curve along with the corresponding concentrations. Then, by inputting the OD values of the samples into the standard curve equation, calculate the concentration of the target protein in the sample.
