Guinea Pig IgG ELISA

Product Overview:

The guinea pig IgG ELISA assay kit is a highly sensitive two-site enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) for measuring IgG in biological samples of guinea pigs.

Assay Principle:

In this assay the IgG present in samples reacts with the anti-IgG antibodies which have been adsorbed to the surface of polystyrene microtitre wells. After the removal of unbound proteins by washing, anti-IgG antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), are added. These enzyme-labeled antibodies form complexes with the previously bound IgG. Following another washing step, the enzyme bound to the immunosorbent is assayed by the addition of a chromogenic substrate, 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The quantity of bound enzyme varies directly with the concentration of IgG in the sample tested; thus, the absorbance, at 450 nm, is a measure of the concentration of IgG in the sample. The quantity of IgG can be interpolated from the standard curve constructed from the standards, and corrected for sample dilution.

Sensitivity:

1.069 ng/ml

Dynamic Range:

6.25 ng/ml – 400 ng/ml

Incubation Time:

50 minutes

Sample Type:

Plasma, serum

Sample Size:

100 µl

Specimen Collection and Handling:

Blood should be collected by venipuncture and the serum separated from the cells, after clot formation, by centrifugation. Care should be taken to minimize hemolysis, excessive hemolysis can impact your results. Specimens may be shipped at room temperature and then stored refrigerated at 2-8°C if testing is to take place within one week after collection. If testing is to take place later than one week, specimens should be stored at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
