Matrix Metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8) ELISA Kit for Horse

Introduction: ELISA is a simple and highly sensitive method of analysis that allows for simultaneous and rapid quantification of a large number of samples. The assay is based on the specific recognition of the target compound (analyte/antigen) by antibodies which bind to the compound. The antigen-antibody complex is detected and measured with the aid of an enzyme-labeled antibody or antigen. Upon addition of a non-colored reagent, the enzyme produces a color reaction where the color intensity is directly or inversely proportional to the concentration of the analyte in the sample. This quantitative Sandwich ELISA kit is in tended to determinate MMP-8 concentrations in Horse serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, feces, urine and body fluids, and it is only for research!

Small volumes of MMP-8 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.

MBS032337 is a ready-to-use microwell, strip plate ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit for analyzing the presence of the Matrix Metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8) 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 MMP-8. The ELISA analytical biochemical technique of the MBS032337 kit is based on MMP-8 antibody-MMP-8 antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect MMP-8 antigen targets in samples. The ELISA Kit is designed to detect native, not recombinant, MMP-8. 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(%).
