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: The microplate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific to Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP). A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) and unlabeled Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP). 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 Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) in the sample. Then the mixture of substrate A and B is added to generate glow light emission kinetics. Upon plate development, the intensity of the emitted light is reverse proportional to the Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) level in the sample or standard.

Assay Precision: Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) 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: 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.
