Rat C4(Complement Component 4) ELISA Kit Detection Range 3.13-200 ng/mL Sensitivity 1.88 ng/mL Product Details Properties Assay type Sandwich-ELISA Format 96T Assay time 3.5h Detection range 3.13-200 ng/mL Sensitivity 1.88 ng/mL Sample type &Sample volume serum, plasma and other biological fluids; 100μL Specificity This kit recognizes Rat C4 in samples. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Rat C4 and analogues was observed. Reproducibility Both intra-CV and inter-CV are < 10%. Application This ELISA kit applies to the in vitro quantitative determination of Rat C4 concentrations in serum, plasma and other biological fluids. 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 C4. 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 C4 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 C4, 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 C4. You can calculate the concentration of Rat C4 in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Kit Components and Storage An unopened kit can be stored at 2-8℃ for 1 month. If the kit is not supposed to be used within 1 month, store the components separately according to the following conditions once the kit is received.
