Mouse CT(Calcitonin) ELISA Kit

Calcitonin is a peptide hormone that causes a rapid but short-lived drop in the level of calcium and phosphate in blood by promoting the incorporation of those ions in the bones. Calcitonin function is mediated by the calcitonin receptor/CALCR and the CALCR-RAMP2 (AMYR2) receptor complex (By similarity) Assay Type: Sandwich. Sensitivity: 6.1 pg/mL. Standard: 1000 pg/mL. Detection range: 15.63-1000 pg/mL. Sample type: tissue homogenates, cell lysates and other biological fluids. Assay length: 3.5h. Research Field: Metabolic pathway,Endocrinology,Hormone metabolism,Bone metabolism,. Test principle: The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Mouse CT. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Mouse CT. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Mouse CT, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of Mouse CT in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
