ELISA's cross-reactivity
This assay doesn't seem to cross-react with other species. For more information about cross-reactivity please contact us.
Storage recommendation
-20°C. Bring all reagents to room temperature before beginning test. The kit may be stored at 4°C for immediate use within two days upon arrival. Reseal any unused strips with desiccant pack. Minimize freeze/thaw cycles.
Warnings
The Stop Solution is acidic. Do not allow to contact skin or eyes. Calibrators, controls and specimen samples should be assayed in duplicate. Once the procedure has been started, all steps should be completed without interruption.
ELISA's specificity
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of 8-Epi Prostaglandin F2 Alpha (8-epi-PGF2a). No significant cross-reactivity or interference between 8-Epi Prostaglandin F2 Alpha (8-epi-PGF2a) and analogues was observed.
Precision of the test
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level 8-Epi Prostaglandin F2 Alpha (8-epi-PGF2a) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle and high level 8-Epi Prostaglandin F2 Alpha (8-epi-PGF2a) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate. CV(%) = SD/meanX100 Intra-Assay: CV
ELISA's stability
The stability of kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.
Description
The 8-Epi Prostaglandin F2 Alpha (8-epi-PGF2a) ELISA Kit, 96 is a α- or alpha protein sometimes glycoprotein present in blood.A microtiter plate (spelled Microtiter is a registered trade name in the United States) or microplate or micro well plate or multiwell, is a flat plate with multiple "wells" used as small test tubes. The microplate has become a standard tool in analytical research and clinical diagnostic testing laboratories. A very common usage is in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the basis of most modern medical diagnostic testing in humans and animals. A microplate typically has 6, 24, 96, 384 or 1536 sample wells arranged in a 23 rectangular matrix. Some microplates have even been manufactured with 3456 or 9600 wells, and an "array tape" product has been developed that provides a continuous strip of microplates embossed on a flexible plastic tape.
Assay principle
This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to 8-Epi Prostaglandin F2 Alpha (8-epi-PGF2a) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled 8-Epi Prostaglandin F2 Alpha (8-epi-PGF2a) and unlabeled 8-Epi Prostaglandin F2 Alpha (8-epi-PGF2a) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to 8-Epi Prostaglandin F2 Alpha (8-epi-PGF2a). After incubation the unbound conjugate is washed off. Next, avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP conjugate is reverse proportional to the concentration of 8-Epi Prostaglandin F2 Alpha (8-epi-PGF2a) in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of 8-Epi Prostaglandin F2 Alpha (8-epi-PGF2a) in the sample.
