Description
Aviva Systems Biology Aqp3 ELISA Kit (Mouse) (OKEH04351) is based on a competitive enzyme immuno assay technique. The microtiter well-plate in this kit has been pre-coated with an anti-Mouse Aqp3 antibody. Sample or standards are added to the wells along with a fixed quantity of biotinylated Aqp3 and incubated. The found in the sample or standards competes with the biotinylated Aqp3 for limited binding sites on the immobilized anti-Mouse Aqp3 antibody. Excess unbound biotinylated Aqp3 and sample or standard Aqp3 is washed from the plate. Avidin-HRP conjugate is added, incubated and washed. An enzymatic reaction is then produced through the addition of TMB substrate which is catalyzed by the immobilized HRP to generate a blue color product that changes to yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is measured by reading the absorbance at 450 nm which is quantitatively proportional to the amount of biotinylated Aqp3 captured in the well and inversely proportional to the amount of Aqp3 which was contained in the sample or standard
