Follistatin (FS) BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (Mouse)

The Mouse Follistatin (FS) ELISA Kit is a competitive inhibition immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of mouse FS in serum, plasma other biological fluids. Detection Range: 2.47-200ng/ml, Sensitivity: 0.94ng/ml, Precision: Intra-Assay CV: <10%, Inter-Assay CV: <12%, Test Principle: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific for FS has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction occurs between biotin-labeled FS and unlabeled FS (standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific for FS. 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 inversely proportional to the concentration of FS in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is inversely proportional to the concentration of FS in the sample.
