Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (Bovine)

The Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (Bovine) is a quantitative competitive assay for the detection of ANP in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. Sensitivity: 9.375pg/ml, Detection Range: 15.625-1000pg/ml, Specificity: This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of bovine ANP. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between ANP and analogues was observed. Precision: Intra-Assay: CV<8%, Inter-Assay: CV<10%, Test Principle: The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with ANP. During the reaction, ANP in the sample or standard competes, with a fixed amount of ANP on the solid phase supporter for sites on the Biotinylated Detection Antibody specific to ANP. Excess conjugate and unbound sample or standard are washed from the plate, and HRP-Streptavidin (SABC) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Then a TMB substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm. The concentration of ANP in the samples is, then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
