Principle of Assay
Goat alpha Lactalbumin ELISA Kit (A79051) is a 4 hour sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (sELISA) designed for the in vitro quantitative determination of goat alpha Lactalbumin in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. A 96-well microtiter plate has been pre-coated with an antibody specific for alpha Lactalbumin. Standards and samples are added to the wells, where alpha Lactalbumin binds to the immobilized capture antibody. Following incubation, unbound components are removed by washing and a biotinylated detection antibody specific for alpha Lactalbumin is added to the wells. The detection antibody binds the captured alpha Lactalbumin to form an antibody-antigen-antibody sandwich complex. After further incubation and washing, HRP-Streptavidin conjugate is added to the wells. TMB substrate solution is then added to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction. This produces a blue-coloured product that changes to yellow following addition of acidic stop solution. The intensity of the yellow colour is directly proportional to the amount of alpha Lactalbumin captured in each well. The concentration of alpha Lactalbumin is calculated by reading the absorbance at 450 nm and comparing the values with the standard curve.
