Natamycin (NTM) BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (General)

Sample Type:, Biological agents, Intended Use: The kit is a competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique for the in vitro quantitative measurement of natamycin in biological agents. Sensitivity: 1.45ng/ml, Range: 3.70-300ng/ml, Specificity: This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Natamycin (NTM). No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Natamycin (NTM) and analogues was observed. Precision: Intra-Assay: CV<10% , Inter-Assay: CV<12%, Test Principle: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to natamycin has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled natamycin and unlabeled natamycin (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to natamycin. 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 natamycin in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of natamycin in the sample.
