MTR ELISA Kit

Catalog No. ABIN4993589

This Human MTR ELISA Kit is a Colorimetric ELISA Kit designed to quantify Human MTR.

Quick Overview for MTR ELISA Kit (ABIN4993589)

Target: MTR (5-Methyltetrahydrofolate-Homocysteine Methyltransferase (MTR))

Reactivity: Human

Detection Method: Colorimetric

Method Type: Sandwich ELISA

Detection Range: 0.781-50 ng/mL

Application: ELISA

Sample Type: Plasma, Serum

Product Details MTR ELISA Kit

Minimum Detection Limit: 0.781 ng/mL

Purpose: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of MTR in human serum, plasma and other biological fluids

Analytical Method: Quantitative

Specificity: This kit recognizes natural and recombinant Human MTR. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human MTR and analogues was observed. Note: Limited by existing techniques, cross reaction may still exist, as it is impossible for us to complete the cross-reactivity detection between Human MTR and all the analogues.

Sensitivity: 0.469 ng/mL

Application Details

Comment:

Information on standard material:
The formulation of the standard is 0.01 M PBS. The standard contains additives (1 % BSA).

Information on reagents:
Reagents include 1 M SO₂. Azide, thimerosal, 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) or any other poisonous materials are not used.

Information on antibodies:
The provided antibodies and their host vary in different kits. All antibodies are affinity purified

The sensitivity of this assay, or Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) was defined as the lowest protein concentration that could be differentiated from zero. It was determined by adding two standard deviations to the mean optical density value of twenty zero standard replicates and calculating the corresponding concentration.

Sample Volume: 100 µL

Plate: Pre-coated

Protocol: This ELISA kit uses Sandwich-ELISA as the method. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to MTR. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for MTR and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate is added to each micro plate well successively and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain MTR, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of MTR. You can calculate the concentration of MTR in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. 6th Edition, revised in June, 2015 www.elabscience.com 4

Handling

Handling Advice: All the reagents in the kit should be stored according to the labels on vials. Unused wells should be returned to the foil pouch with the desiccant pack and resealed along entire edge of zip-seal. Substrate Reagent shouldn't be kept at -20 °C (Check!). Exposure of reagents to strong light should be avoided in the process of incubation and storage. All the taps of reagents should be tightened to prevent evaporation and microbial contamination. If not to store reagents according to above suggestions, erroneous results may occur.

Storage: 4 °C/-20 °C

Storage Comment: The unopened kit can be stored at 4℃ for 1 month. If the kit is not used within 1 month, store the items separately according to the conditions since the kit is received.
