Sample Type: Serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids Intended Use: The kit is a competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique for the in vitro quantitative measurement of NES1 in mouse serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. Sensitivity: 191.7pg/ml Range: 493.8-40,000pg/ml Specificity: This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Nesfatin 1 (NES1). No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Nesfatin 1 (NES1) and analogues was observed. Precision: Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12% Test Principle: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. An antibody specific to NES1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled NES1 and unlabeled NES1 (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to NES1. After incubation the unbound conjugate is washed off. Next, avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP conjugate is reverse proportional to the concentration of NES1 in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of NES1 in the sample. Kit Components: 96-well strip plate, 1x Plate Standard, 2x vial Detection Reagent A, 1*120ul Detection Reagent B, 1*120ul TMB Substrate, 1*9ml Wash Buffer (30X), 1*20ml Standard Diluent, 1*20ml Assay Diluent A, 1*12ml Assay Diluent B, 1*12ml Stop Solution, 1*6ml Storage and Stability: Store all components at 4C.
