Mini Samples ELISA Kit for Melatonin (MT)

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for Antigen Detection.

Pan-species (General)

3h

This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Mini Samples Melatonin (MT).

No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Mini Samples Melatonin (MT) and analogues was observed.

The stability of kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.

To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.

This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to Mini Samples Melatonin (MT) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled Mini Samples Melatonin (MT) and unlabeled Mini Samples Melatonin (MT) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to Mini Samples Melatonin (MT). After incubation the unbound conjugate is washed off. Next, avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP conjugate is reverse proportional to the concentration of Mini Samples Melatonin (MT) in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of Mini Samples Melatonin (MT) in the sample.
