Principle of Assay
Rat Elastase 3B ELISA Kit (A6425) employs the sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique for the quantitative measurement of rat Elastase 3B in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates or other biological fluids. An antibody specific for Elastase 3B has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microtiter plate. The standards and test samples are added into the wells and the Elastase 3B 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-Elastase 3B Antibody, which binds the captured Elastase 3B present in each well. HRP-Avidin conjugate is then 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 Elastase 3B captured in each well. The concentration of Elastase 3B can then be calculated by reading the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader and referring to the standard curve.
