Product Description

Growth Differentiation Factor 11 (GDF11) BioAssay(TM) ECL Kit (Rat) is a quantitative, in vitro, Chemiluminescence-based sandwich immunoassay (ECL) suitable for use in rat serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. Test Principle: The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Growth Differentiation Factor 11. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Growth Differentiation Factor 11. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Then the mixture of substrate A and B is added to generate glow light emission kinetics. Upon plate development, the intensity of the emitted light is proportional to the Growth Differentiation Factor 11 (GDF11) level in the sample or standard. Detection Range: 1.37-1000pg/ml Sensitivity: 0.53pg/ml Intra-Assay CV: <10% Inter-Assay CV: <12% Kit Components: *157682A: Microtiter Strips, 1x96 wells, Pre-coated, ready to use *157682B: Standard, 2x1 vial 157682C: Standard Diluent, 1x20ml *157682D: Detection Reagent A (green), 1x120ul *157682E: Detection Reagent B (red), 1x120ul 157682F: Assay Diluent A, 1x12ml 157682G: Assay Diluent B, 1x12ml 157682H: Substrate A, 1x10ml 157682K: Substrate B, 1x10ml 157682L: Wash Buffer, 30X, 1x20ml Precaution: The Stop Solution (157682K) included for use with this kit is an acid solution. Wear eye, hand, face, and clothing protection when using this material. Storage and Stability: Store *157682A, *157682B, *157682D and *157682E at -20C. Store all the other components at 4C.
