Comment:

This product is tested and assembled before shipping to ensure that it meets its quality specifications. All kits are tested to confirm that they fall within their defined Inter- and Intra- assay coefficient of variation.

Sample Volume: 50 μL

Assay Time: 2 h

Plate: Pre-coated

Protocol: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to Urotensin 2 (UST2) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled Urotensin 2 (UST2) and unlabeled Urotensin 2 (UST2) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to Urotensin 2 (UST2). 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 Urotensin 2 (UST2) in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of Urotensin 2 (UST2) in the sample.

Assay Precision: Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Urotensin 2 (UST2) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Urotensin 2 (UST2) 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.
