The 8-Isoprostane (8-iso-PGF2a) BioAssay ELISA Kit (Rat) is a quantitative competitive assay for the detection of 8-Isoprostane in rat serum,plasma,tissue homogenates and other biological fluids.Detection Range:15.25-1,000pg/mlSensitivity:<19.375pg/mlPrecision: Intra-Assay CV: <8%Inter-Assay CV: <10%Assay Principle:The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with 8-Isoprostane. 8-Isoprostane in the standard or sample competes with a fixed amount of plate-coated 8-Isoprostane for antibody binding sites on the Antibody-Biotin reagent. Excess conjugate and unbound sample or standard are washed from the plate,after which Streptavidin-HRP (SABC) is added to each well and incubated. TMB substrate is then added to each well. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulfuric acid solution and the resulting color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm. The concentration of 8-Isoprostane in the samples is determined by comparing the absorbance of the samples to the standard curve.Kit Components:369695A: Microtiter Strips,8x12 wells.369695B: Standard,2 vials369695C: Sample/Standard Dilution Buffer,1x20ml369695D: Antibody-Biotin Concentrate,1x160ul369695E: Antibody Dilution Buffer,1x10ml369695F: Streptavidin-HRP Conjugate (SABC),1x120ul369695G: SABC Dilution Buffer,1x10ml369695H: TMB Substrate,1x10ml369695J: Stop Solution,1x10ml369695K: Wash Buffer (25X),1x30mlStorage and Stability:Store unopened 369695A at 4°C; store at -20°C once opened.
