Principle of Assay
Sheep SAA1 ELISA Kit (A246972) employs the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of sheep SAA1 in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. The 96-well microtiter plate has been pre-coated with SAA1 antigen. During the incubation, SAA1 present in the samples or standards competes with the fixed amount of immobilized SAA1 for binding sites on the Biotinylated Anti-SAA1 Antibody. The more SAA1 present in a sample or standard, the less Biotinylated Anti-SAA1 Antibody that binds to the plate. Following incubation, unbound Biotinylated Anti-SAA1 Antibody is removed by washing, and an HRP-Streptavidin conjugate is added to the wells and the microtiter plate is incubated. Following incubation and washing, TMB substrate solution is then used to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction by catalysis to produce a blue-coloured product that changes to yellow after addition of acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is inversely proportional to the amount of SAA1 present in each sample or standard. The concentration of SAA1 can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
