Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) BioAssay™ ELISA Kit (Sheep)

Sample Type:
Serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids

Intended Use:
The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of BDNF in ovine serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological

Sensitivity:
0.061ng/ml

Range:
0.156-10ng/ml

Specificity:
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and analogues was observed.

Precision:
Intra-Assay: CV<10%
Inter-Assay: CV<12%

Test Principle:
The microplate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to BDNF. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microplate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to BDNF. 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 BDNF, biotin-conjugated antibody and
enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of BDNF in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
