The Transferrin Receptor (TFR) BioAssay ELISA Kit (Mouse) is a quantitative sandwich assay for the detection of TFR in mouse serum,plasma,tissue homogenates and other biological fluids.Detection Range:0.625-40ng/mlSensitivity:<0.375ng/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 TFR. Standards and samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells followed by a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to TFR. 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 TFR,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 TFR in the sample is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the sample to the standard curve.Kit Components:*359212A: Microtiter Strips,8x12 wells.*359212B: Standard,2 vials359212C: Sample/Standard Dilution Buffer,1x20ml359212D: Antibody-Biotin (Concentrated),1x120ul359212E: Antibody Dilution Buffer,1x10ml*359212F: Streptavidin-HRP Conjugate (SABC),1x120ul359212G: SABC Dilution Buffer,1x10ml*359212H: TMB Substrate,1x10ml359212J: Stop Solution,1x10ml359212K: Wash Buffer (25X),1x30mlStorage and Stability:Store unopened *359212A at 4ºC; store at -20ºC once opened.
