The Human Angiotensin II (ANG-II) ELISA Kit is a highly specific and sensitive assay designed for the quantitative measurement of ANG-II levels in human serum, plasma, culture media, or other biological fluids. This kit employs the Sandwich-ELISA technique for reliable and accurate detection of ANG-II, making it ideal for research in cardiovascular function, hypertension, and related fields.
Purpose
- Quantification of ANG-II Levels:
- Detect and measure ANG-II concentrations in a variety of human biological samples.
- Sample Compatibility:
- Suitable for human serum, plasma, cell culture media, and other biological fluids.
Principle
The assay utilizes a Sandwich-ELISA method, as outlined below:
- Pre-Coated Plate:
- Microelisa stripplate wells are pre-coated with an antibody specific to ANG-II.
- Sample and Standard Addition:
- Standards and samples are added to the wells, allowing ANG-II in the samples to bind to the immobilized antibody.
- HRP-Conjugated Detection:
- A Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody specific for ANG-II is added to the wells to form a sandwich complex.
- Washing Step:
- Free and unbound components are washed away to minimize background noise.
- TMB Substrate Reaction:
- TMB substrate solution is added, generating a blue color in the presence of HRP.
- Stop Reaction and Measurement:
- A stop solution is added, turning the color yellow. Optical density (OD) is measured at 450 nm using a spectrophotometer.
- Concentration Calculation:
- ANG-II concentration is determined by comparing the OD values of samples to a standard curve.
Key Features
- High Sensitivity and Specificity:
- Accurately detects ANG-II with minimal cross-reactivity or interference.
- Wide Sample Compatibility:
- Suitable for various sample types, including serum, plasma, and culture media.
- Quantitative Results:
- Provides reliable measurement of ANG-II concentrations using a standard curve.
- Ease of Use:
- Includes pre-coated plates and ready-to-use reagents for a streamlined workflow.
- Reproducibility:
- Demonstrates consistent results across multiple experiments.
