Description
Principle of the Assay: This ELISA kit uses the Competitive-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been precoated with LPS. During the reaction, LPS in samples or Standard competes with a fixed amount of LPS on the solid phase supporter for sites on the Biotinylated Detection Ab specific to LPS. Excess conjugate and unbound sample or standard are washed from the plate, and Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) are added to each microplate well and incubated. Then a TMB substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 ± 2 nm. The concentration of LPS in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
Intended Uses: This ELISA kit applies to the in vitro quantitative determination of LPS concentrations in serum, plasma and other biological fluids
