Application Details

Comment:

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.

Assay Time: 2 h

Plate: Pre-coated

Protocol: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to Beta-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (bMSH) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled Beta-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (bMSH) and unlabeled Beta-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (bMSH) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to Beta-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (bMSH). 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 Beta-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (bMSH) in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of Beta-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (bMSH) in the sample.

Assay Precision: Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Beta-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (bMSH) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Beta-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (bMSH) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate. CV(%) = SD/meanX100
Intra-Assay: CV<10%
Inter-Assay: CV<12%

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Handling Advice: The Stop Solution is acidic. Do not allow to contact skin or eyes. Calibrators, controls and specimen samples should be assayed in duplicate. Once the procedure has been started, all steps should be completed without interruption.
