Growth Hormone (GH) BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (Mouse)

Sample Type:, Serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids, Intended Use: The kit is a competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique for the in vitro quantitative measurement of growth hormone in mouse serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. Sensitivity: 46.2pg/ml, Range: 123.5-10,000pg/ml, Specificity: This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Growth Hormone (GH). No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Growth Hormone (GH) and analogues was observed. Precision: Intra-Assay: CV<10% , Inter-Assay: CV<12%, Test Principle: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. An antibody specific to growth hormone has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled growth hormone and unlabeled growth hormone (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to growth hormone. 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 reverse proportional to the concentration of growth hormone in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of growth hormone in the sample.
