The Interleukin 1β (IL-1β) BioAssay™ ELISA Kit (Human) is a sandwich ELISA for the quantitative determination of human interleukin 1β (IL-1β) concentrations in serum, cell culture supernates, urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Sensitivity:31.25pg/ml
Detection Range:125-8000pg/ml
Specificity:This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of human IL-1β. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between human IL-1β and analogues was observed.
Precision:Intra-assay: CV%<8%Inter-assay: CV%<10%
Test Principle:An antibody specific for IL-1β has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any IL-1β present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for IL-1β is added to the wells. After washing, avidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the a mount of IL-1β bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Storage and Stability:Store powder at 4°C liquid at -20°C. Store other 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.
