The Arginine-Vasopressin (Arg-Vasopressin) BioAssay ELISA Kit (Rat) is a quantitative competitive assay for the detection of Arg-Vasopressin in rat serum,plasma and other biological fluids.Detection Range:0.313-20ng/mlSensitivity:<0.188ng/mlPrecision: Intra-Assay CV: <8%Inter-Assay CV: <10%Assay Principle:The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with Arg-Vasopressin. Arg-Vasopressin in the standard or sample competes with a fixed amount of plate-coated Arg-Vasopressin 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 Arg-Vasopressin in the samples is determined by comparing the absorbance of the samples to the standard curve.Kit Components:*369765A: Microtiter Strips,8x12 wells.*369765B: Standard,2 vials369765C: Sample/Standard Dilution Buffer,1x20ml369765D: Antibody-Biotin Concentrate,1x160ul369765E: Antibody Dilution Buffer,1x10ml369765F: Streptavidin-HRP Conjugate (SABC),1x120ul369765G: SABC Dilution Buffer,1x10ml369765H: TMB Substrate,1x10ml369765J: Stop Solution,1x10ml369765K: Wash Buffer (25X),1x30mlStorage and Stability:Store unopened *369765A at 4ºC; store at -20ºC once opened.
