The Sphingosine 1 Phosphate (S1P) BioAssay ELISA Kit is a quantitative competitive assay for the detection of S1P in human serum,plasma,tissue homogenates and other biological fluids.Detection Range:3.125-200ng/mlSensitivity:<1.875ng/mlPrecision:Intra-assay CV: <8%Inter-assay CV: <10%Assay Principle:This ELISA kit employs the quantitative competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay technique,utilizing a microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with S1P. Standards and samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells followed by a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to S1P. 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 S1P,Biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Streptavidin 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 S1P in the sample is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the sample to the standard curve.Kit Components:*370208A: Microtiter Strips,1x96 wells (8x12 wells).*370208B: Standard,2x1 vials370208C: Sample/Standard Dilution Buffer,1x20ml370208D: Antibody (Biotin) (Concentrated),1x60ul370208E: Antibody Dilution Buffer,1x10ml370208F: Streptavidin (HRP) (SABC),1x120ul370208G: SABC Dilution Buffer,1x10ml370208H: TMB Substrate,1x10ml370208J: Stop Solution,1x10ml370208K: Wash Buffer,25X,1x30mlStorage and Stability:Store unopened *370208A at 4ºC; store at -20ºC once opened.
