Samples: Serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and Cell lysates Cell lysates Cell lysates Cell lysates Cell lysates Cell lysates Cell lysates. Assay Type: Sandwich. Detection Range: 1.56 ng/ml -100 ng/ml. Sensitivity: The minimum detectable dose of rat FABP4 is typically less than 0.39 ng/ml. The sensitivity of this assay, or Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) was defined as the lowest protein concentration that could be differentiated from zero. It was determined the mean O.D value of 20 replicates of the zero standard added by their three standard deviations.
other info2 :
Intra-assay Precision: Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): CV%<8%. Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess. Inter-assay: Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): CV%<10%. Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty assays to assess.
products description :
Principle of the assay: This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. Antibody specific for FABP4 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any FABP4 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for FABP4 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 amount of FABP4 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
