Principle of Assay
Human S100A1 ELISA Kit (A118280) employs the sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of human S100A1 in cell culture supernates, serum. An antibody specific for S100A1 has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microtiter plate. The standards and test samples are added into the wells and the S100A1 present in each sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. Following incubation, the wells are washed and then incubated with Biotinylated Anti-S100A1 Antibody, which binds the captured S100A1 present in each well. Following incubation, unbound biotinylated detection antibody is removed by washing, and an HRP-Streptavidin conjugate is added to the wells and the microtiter plate is incubated. Following incubation and washing, TMB substrate solution is then used to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction by catalysis to produce a blue-coloured product that changes to yellow after addition of acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the amount of S100A1 captured in each well. The concentration of S100A1 can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
