AMPK (Phosphorylated Adenosine Monophosphate Activated Protein Kinase) BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (Human

AMPK (Phosphorylated Adenosine Monophosphate Activated Protein Kinase) BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit is for the quantitative detection of AMPK in human serum, plasma and other biological fluids. Cell lysates and tissue homogenates, though not tested, may potentially be used as samples. Range: 0.313-20ng/ml, Sensitivity: <0.188ng/ml, Precision: Intra-assay CV: <8%, Inter-assay CV: <10%, Assay Principle: This ELISA kit employs the sandwich enzyme-linked immunoassay technique, utilizing a microtiter plate pre-coated with an antibody specific to AMPK. Standards and samples are added to the appropriate wells, then incubated. Aspirate and wash the plate. The Antibody (Biotin) is added to all the wells. The plate is incubated and then washed. Streptavidin (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated then washed. Then the TMB substrate solution is added and incubated. After the TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain AMPK, the antibody (Biotin) and Streptavidin (HRP) will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulfuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of AMPK in the sample is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the sample to the standard curve.
