4°C/-20°C

The Angiotensin 1-7 (Ang1-7) BioAssay™ ELISA Kit (Human) is a quantitative sandwich assay for the detection of Ang1-7 in human serum, plasma and other biological fluids. Cell lysates and tissue homogenates, though not tested, may potentially be used as samples.

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 Ang1-7. Standards and samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells followed by a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Ang1-7. 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 Ang1-7, 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 Ang1-7 in the sample is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the sample to the standard curve.
