Mouse FE(Ferritin) ELISA Kit

Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation. Also plays a role in delivery of iron to cells. Mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney. Degraded to release iron upon autophagy activation by nutrient starvation (PubMed:25327288) Assay Type: Sandwich. Sensitivity: 0.112 ng/mL. Standard: 500 ng/mL. Detection range: 7.81-500 ng/mL. Sample type: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. Assay length: 3.5h. Research Field: Metabolic pathway,Tumor immunity,Hematology,. 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 FE. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Mouse FE. 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 FE, 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 FE in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
