Description
The Eagle Biosciences Rat TNF Alpha (TNF-α) ELISA Assay Kit employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific for TNF Alpha (TNF-α) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any TNF Alpha (TNF-α) present is bound by the immobilized antibody. Following incubation unbound samples are removed during a wash step, and then a detection antibody specific for TNF Alpha (TNF-α) is added to the wells and binds to the combination of capture antibody-TNF-α in sample. Following a wash to remove any unbound combination, and enzyme conjugate is added to the wells. Following incubation and wash steps a substrate is added. A colored product is formed in proportion to the amount of TNF Alpha (TNF-α) present in the sample. The reaction is terminated by addition of acid and absorbance is measured at 450nm. A standard curve is prepared from seven TNF Alpha (TNF-α) standard dilutions and TNF Alpha (TNF-α) sample concentration determined
