This DHVD3 (1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3) BioAssay™ ELISA Kit is a competitive ELISA for the in vitro quantitative determination of DHVD3 concentrations in serum, plasma and other biological fluids.
Specificity:Recognizes DHVD3. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between DHVD3 and analogues was observed.
Test Principle:The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with DHVD3. During the reaction, DHVD3 in the sample or standard competes with a fixed amount of DHVD3 on the solid phase supporter for sites on the Biotinylated Detection Ab specific to DHVD3. 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 450nm ± 2nm. The concentration of DHVD3 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
Storage and Stability:Unused kit is stable for 6 months after receipt. Store Microtiter Strips, Standard, and Antibody-Biotin at 4°C if kit will be used within 30 days; otherwise store at -20°C until expiration date. Store the rest of the components at 4°C. Protect HRP Conjugate and Substrate Reagent from light. For maximum recovery, centrifuge the original vials after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
