This Oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein (OxLDL) BioAssay™ ELISA Kit is a sandwich ELISA for the in vitro quantitative determination of OxLDL concentrations in human serum, plasma and other biological fluids.||Sensitivity:|18.75pg/ml||Detection Range:|31.25-2000pg/ml||Precision:|Intra-Assay %CV: <10%|Inter-Assay %CV: <10%||Specificity:|Recognizes Human OxLDL. No Significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human OxLDL and analogues was observed.||Test Principle:|The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to human OxLDL. Standards or samples are added to the micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for human OxLDL and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain human OxLDL, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (O.D.) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 2nm. The O.D. value is proportional to the concentration of human OxLDL. You can calculate the concentration of human OxLDL in the samples by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.||Kit Components:|Microtiter Strips, 1x96 wells, Pre-coated; ready to use|Standard, 2x1vial |Standard Diluent, 1x20ml|Biotin Detection, 100X, 1x120ul |HRP Conjugate, 100X, 1x120ul |Biotin Detection Diluent, 1x14ml|HRP Diluent, 1x14ml|Substrate, 1x10ml|Stop Solution, 1x10ml|Wash Buffer, 25X, 1x30ml ||Storage and Stability:|Store Microtiter Strips, Standard, Detection Reagents and Positive Control at -20°C.
