Test Principle

This ELISA kit uses the Competitive-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with OT. During the reaction, OT in the sample or standard competes with a fixed amount of OT on the solid phase supporter for sites on the Biotinylated Detection Ab specific to OT. Excess conjugate and unbound sample or standard are washed away, and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added to each micro plate well and incubated. Then a TMB substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns from blue to yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The concentration of OT in tested samples can be calculated by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Q

G*********gSubmitted [ Mar 14 2023 ]

Asked: Does this assay measure oxytocin accurately in unextracted plasma samples - i.e. is there any plasma matrix interference?

Reply

A

adminSubmitted [ Mar 14 2023 ]

Answered: This kit can detect anticoagulant plasma samples, rather than unextracted plasma samples, and EDTA-2Na is generally recommended as an anticoagulant. There are many factors causing matrix interference, such as repeated freeze-thaw or hemolysis samples, which will lead to inaccurate test results. Therefore, in order to ensure the accuracy of the results, it is recommended to use fresh samples as much as possible and avoid using repeated freeze-thaw and hemolysis plasma samples.
