Testosterone, T BioAssay™ ELISA Kit (Rabbit)

For the quantitative determination of rabbit Testosterone in serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates.

Sensitivity:
0.625ng/ml

Detection Range:
0.625-10ng/ml

Specificity:
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of rabbit testosterone. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between rabbit testosterone and analogues was observed.

Assay Principle:
This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to testosterone. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with Biotin-conjugated testosterone. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between testosterone (standards or samples) and Biotin-conjugated testosterone with the pre-coated antibody specific for testosterone. The more amount of testosterone in samples, the less antibody bound by Biotin-conjugated testosterone. After washing, avidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Substrate solution is added to the wells and the color develops in opposite to the amount of testosterone in the sample. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
