Test Principle

This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Rat IFN-?. Standards or samples are added to the micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Rat IFN-? 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 Rat IFN-?, 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 (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ? 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Rat IFN-?.?You can calculate the concentration of Rat IFN-? in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Technical Data

Precision

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, mid range and high level Rat IFN-? were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, mid range and high level Rat IFN-? were tested on 3 different plates, 20 replicates in each plate.

Recovery

The recovery of Rat IFN-? spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

Sample Type	Range (%)	Average Recovery (%)
Serum(n=8)	84-97	91
EDTA plasma (n=8)	90-103	98
Cell culture media (n=8)	91-106	98

Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Rat IFN-? and diluted with Reference Standard & Sample Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

Assay Procedures

	1. Add 100?L standard or sample to the wells. Incubate for 90 min at 37?C
	2. Discard the liquid, immediately add 100?L Biotinylated Detection Ab working solution to each well. Incubate for 60 min at 37?C
	3. Aspirate and wash the plate for 3 times
	4. Add 100?L HRP conjugate working solution. Incubate for 30 min at 37?C. Aspirate and wash the plate for 5 times
	5. Add 90?L Substrate Reagent. Incubate for 15 min at 37?C
	6. Add 50?L Stop Solution
	7. Read the plate at 450nm immediately. Calculation of the results
