This Fibrinopeptide A (FPA) BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit is a sandwich ELISA for the in vitro quantitative determination of FPA concentrations in human serum, plasma and other biological fluids. Detection Range: 1.56-100ng/ml Sensitivity: 0.94ng/ml Precision: Intra-Assay %CV: <10% Inter-Assay %CV: <10% Specificity: Recognizes human FPA. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between human FPA and analogues was observed. Test Principle: The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to human FPA. Standards or samples are added to the micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for human FPA and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain human FPA, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (O.D.) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm 2nm. The O.D. value is proportional to the concentration of human FPA. You can calculate the concentration of human FPA in the samples by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
