Instant ELISA Kit for Melatonin (MT)

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for Antigen Detection.

Pan-species (General)

1h, 10min

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

No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Instant 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 Instant Melatonin (MT) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled Instant Melatonin (MT) and unlabeled Instant Melatonin (MT) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to Instant 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 Instant Melatonin (MT) in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of Instant Melatonin (MT) in the sample.
