Somatostatin （SST） BioAssay ELISA Kit is a quantitative competitive assay for the detection of SST in human serum，plasma，tissue homogenates and other biological fluids.Detection Range：7.813-500pg/mlSensitivity：<4.688pg/mlPrecision：Intra-assay CV： <8%Inter-assay CV： <10%Assay Principle：This ELISA kit employs the quantitative competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay technique，utilizing a microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with SST. Standards and samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells followed by a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to SST. Streptavidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase （HRP） is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added，only those wells that contain SST，Biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Streptavidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulfuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of SST in the sample is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the sample to the standard curve.Kit Components：*359042A： Microtiter Strips，1x96 wells （8x12 wells）.*359042B： Standard，2x1 vials359042C： Sample/Standard Dilution Buffer，1x20ml359042D： Antibody （Biotin） （Concentrated），1x60ul359042E： Antibody Dilution Buffer，1x10ml359042F： Streptavidin （HRP） （SABC），1x120ul359042G： SABC Dilution Buffer，1x10ml359042H： TMB Substrate，1x10ml359042J： Stop Solution，1x10ml359042K： Wash Buffer，25X，1x30mlStorage and Stability：Store unopened *359042A at 4oC; store at -20oC once opened.
