Sample Type:Serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids
Intended Use:The kit is a competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique for the in vitro quantitative measurement of calreticulin in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids.
Sensitivity:0.87ng/ml
Range:2.47-200ng/ml
Specificity:This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Calreticulin (CALR). No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Calreticulin (CALR) and analogues was observed.
Precision:Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12%
Test Principle:This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to calreticulin has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled calreticulin and unlabeled calreticulin (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to calreticulin. After incubation the unbound conjugate is washed off. Next, avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP conjugate is reverse proportional to the concentration of calreticulin in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of calreticulin in the sample.
Storage and Stability:Store all components at 4°C. Stable for 6 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
