Procollagen I N-Terminal Propeptide (PINP) BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (Mouse)

Sample Type:, Serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids, Intended Use: The kit is a competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique for the in vitro quantitative measurement of PINP in mouse serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. Sensitivity: 152.5pg/ml, Range: 370.4-30,000pg/ml, Specificity: This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Procollagen I N-Terminal Propeptide (PINP). No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Procollagen I N-Terminal Propeptide (PINP) and analogues was observed. Precision: Intra-Assay: CV<10% , Inter-Assay: CV<12%, Test Principle: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. An antibody specific to PINP has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled PINP and unlabeled PINP (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to PINP. After incubation the unbound conjugate is washed off. Next, avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP conjugate is reverse proportional to the concentration, of PINP in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of PINP in the sample.
