Cathepsin D (CTSD) ELISA Kit for Mouse

Principle of the Assay: This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate CTSD in samples. An antibody specific for CTSD has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyCTSD present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for CTSD is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of CTSD bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Small volumes of CTSD elisa kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS282128 is a ready-to-use microwell, strip-or-full plate ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit for analyzing the presence of the Cathepsin D (CTSD) ELISA Kit target analytes in biological samples. The concentration gradients of the kit standards or positive controls render a theoretical kit detection range in biological research samples containing CTSD. The ELISA analytical biochemical technique of the MBS282128 kit is based on CTSD antibody-CTSD antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect CTSD antigen targets in samples. The ELISA Kit is designed to detect native, not recombinant, CTSD. Appropriate sample types may include undiluted body fluids and/or tissue homogenates, secretions. Quality control assays assessing reproducibility identified the intra-assay CV (%) and inter-assay CV(%).
