Principle of Assay
Human Cardiac Troponin T ELISA Kit (A73989) is a 4 hour sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (sELISA) designed for the in vitro quantitative determination of human Cardiac Troponin T in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and other biological fluids. A 96-well microtiter plate has been pre-coated with an antibody specific for Cardiac Troponin T. Standards and samples are added to the wells, where Cardiac Troponin T binds to the immobilized capture antibody. Following incubation, unbound components are removed by washing and a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Cardiac Troponin T is added to the wells. The detection antibody binds the captured Cardiac Troponin T 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 Cardiac Troponin T captured in each well. The concentration of Cardiac Troponin T is calculated by reading the absorbance at 450 nm and comparing the values with the standard curve.
