ELISA Kit for Follistatin (FS)

1.23-100ng/mL

The minimum detectable dose of this kit is typically less than 0.52ng/mL

2h

This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Follistatin (FS).
No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Follistatin (FS) and analogues was observed.

The stability of kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.

This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to Follistatin (FS) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled Follistatin (FS) and unlabeled Follistatin (FS) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to Follistatin (FS). 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 Follistatin (FS) in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of Follistatin (FS) in the sample.
