Interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) BioAssay™ ELISA Kit (Hamster)

The Interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) BioAssay™ ELISA Kit is a quantitative sandwich assay for the detection of IFN-gamma in hamster serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids.||Detection Range:|15.625-1000pg/ml||Sensitivity:|9.375pg/ml||Precision: |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 IFN-gamma. Standards and samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells followed by a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to IFN-gamma. 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 IFN-gamma, 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 IFN-gamma in the sample is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the sample to the standard curve.||Kit Components:|369991A: Microtiter Strips, 1x48 wells or 1x96 wells |369991B: Standard, 1x1vial or 2x1vial|369991C: Sample/Standard Dilution Buffer, 1x10ml or 1x20ml|369991D: Antibody (Biotin) (Concentrated), 1x60ul or 1x120ul|369991E: Antibody Dilution Buffer, 1x5ml or 1x10ml|369991F: Streptavidin (HRP) (SABC), 1x60ul or 1x120ul|369991G: SABC Dilution Buffer, 1x5ml or 1x10ml|369991H: TMB Substrate, 1x5ml or 1x10ml|369991J: Stop Solution, 1x5ml or 1x10ml|369991K: Wash Buffer, 25X, 1x15ml or 1x30ml||Storage and Stability:|Store unopened *369991A at 4ºC; store at -20ºC once opened.
