The Renin (REN) BioAssay ELISA Kit (Rat) is a quantitative sandwich assay for the detection of REN in rat serum,plasma,tissue homogenates and other biological fluids.Detection Range:15.625-1000pg/mlSensitivity:<9.375pg/mlPrecision: Intra-Assay CV: <8%Inter-Assay CV: <10%Assay Principle:The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to REN. Standards and samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells followed by a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to REN. Streptavidin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added,only those wells that contain REN,biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated streptavidin complex will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulfuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of REN in the sample is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the sample to the standard curve.Kit Components:358546A: Microtiter Strips,8x12 wells.358546B: Standard,2 vials358546C: Sample/Standard Dilution Buffer,1x20ml358546D: Antibody-Biotin (Concentrated),1x120ul358546E: Antibody Dilution Buffer,1x10ml358546F: Streptavidin-HRP Conjugate (SABC),1x120ul358546G: SABC Dilution Buffer,1x10ml358546H: TMB Substrate,1x10m358546J: Stop Solution,1x10ml358546K: Wash Buffer (25X),1x30mlStorage and Stability:Store unopened *358546A at 4ºC; store at -20ºC once opened.
