For the quantitative determination of human Immunoglobulin M in serum, plasma, urine, and tissue homogenates. Sensitivity: 1.17ng/ml Detection Range: 4.68-300ng/ml Specificity: This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of human IgM. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between human IgM and analogues was observed. Assay Principle: This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. Antibody specific for IgM has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any IgM present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody specific for IgM is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of IgM bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured. Kit Components: Microtiter Strips, 1x96 wells Standard (Freeze dried), 2xvial HRP-conjugate (100X), 1x120ul HRP-conjugate Diluent, 1x20ml Sample Diluent, 2x20ml Wash Buffer (25X), 1x20ml TMB Substrate, 1x10ml Stop Solution: 1x10ml Storage and Stability: Store all kit components at 4C.
