Product Details
Product Name in English:
fT4(Free Thyroxine) ELISA Kit
Detection Range:
1.41-90 pg/mL
Sample Type:
Serum, Plasma, Tissue homogenates, Cell lysates, Cell culture supernates and Other biological fluids
Research:
Signal transduction;
Test Principle:
This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with fT4 protein. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to fT4. Next,Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added. 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 fT4 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.
