This Troponin T, Fast Skeletal Muscle (TnTf/TNNT3) BioAssay™ ELISA Kit is a sandwich ELISA for the in vitro quantitative determination of TnTf/TNNT3 concentrations in mouse serum, plasma and other biological fluids.
Specificity:Recognizes mouse TnTf/TNNT3. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between mouse TnTf/TNNT3 and analogues was observed.
Test Principle:The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to mouse TnTf/TNNT3. Standards or samples are added to the micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for mouse TnTf/TNNT3 and Avidin- Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain mouse TnTf/TNNT3, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (O.D.) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 2nm. The O.D. value is proportional to the concentration of mouse TnTf/TNNT3. You can calculate the concentration of mouse TnTf/TNNT3 in the samples 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.
