Thrombin Activatable Fibrinolysis Inhibitor (TAFI) BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (Human)

Thrombin Activatable Fibrinolysis Inhibitor (TAFI) BioAssayT ELISA Kit (Human) is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of TAFI in human plasma. Detection Range: 1.56-100ng/ml, Sensitivity: 0.67ng/ml, Precision: Intra-Assay CV: < 10%, Inter-Assay CV: < 12%, Principle of the Test: The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to TAFI. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to TAFI. 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 TAFI, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin 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 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of TAFI in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
