Images & Validation

• Application Notes:
  This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human PACAP-38. Standards or samples are added to the micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Human PACAP-38 and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Human PACAP-38, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop 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 Human PACAP-38. You can calculate the concentration of Human PACAP-38 in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Procedure & Performance

• Assay Principle:
  The kit is based on a sandwich enzyme immunoassay principle. The microtiter plate is pre-coated with a capture antibody specific to the target analyte. Standards or samples are added to the wells, followed by a biotin-conjugated detection antibody specific for the analyte. Avidin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is then added and incubated. After addition of the TMB substrate, color develops only in wells containing the analyte bound to the detection antibody and HRP–avidin complex. The reaction is stopped with an acidic solution, and absorbance is measured at 450 nm ± 10 nm. The analyte concentration in the samples is determined by comparison with a standard curve.

• Calculation of Results:
  1. Average the duplicate readings for each Standard, Control, and Sample, and subtract the mean optical density of the zero Standard. ; 2. Construct a standard curve by plotting the target concentration on the y-axis against absorbance on the x-axis and draw a curve through the data points. ; 3. Determine the sample concentration by substituting the OD450 value into the standard curve. For diluted samples, multiply the calculated value by the corresponding dilution factor.
