Product Details
Product Name in English:
Rat BMG/β2-MG(Beta-2-Microglobulin) ELISA Kit
Alternative Name:
B2MG, B2M
Detection Range:
15.63-1000pg/mL
Sample Type:
Serum, Plasma, Tissue homogenate and Other biological samples;Sample Volume=100μL
Test Principle:
The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to BMG/β2-MG. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to BMG/β2-MG. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain BMG/β2-MG, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of BMG/β2-MG in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
Technical Data
As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, washing technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data is provided below for reference only.

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