For the quantitative determination of human Apolipoprotein C3 concentrations in serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates. Sensitivity: 3.9ng/ml Detection Range: 15.6-1000ng/ml Specificity: This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of human apo-C3. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between human apo-C3 and analogues was observed. Assay Principle: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with apo-C3. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugated antibody preparation specific for apo-C3. The competitive inhibition reaction is launched between with pre-coated apo-C3 and apo-C3 in samples. A substrate solution is added to the wells and the color develops in opposite to the amount of apo-C3 in the samples. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured. Kit Components: Microtiter Strips, 1x96 wells Standard (10X), 1x200ul HRP-conjugate (100X), 1x 60ul HRP-conjugate Diluent, 1x10ml Sample Diluent, 2x20ml Wash Buffer (25X), 1x20ml TMB Substrate, 1x10ml Stop Solution: 1x10ml Storage and Stability: Store all kit components at 4C. Stable for 6 months after receipt. Once opened, the kit is stable for 1 month providing this is within the expiration date of the kit. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
