Application This ELISA kit applies to the in vitro quantitative determination of MT concentrations in serum, plasma and other biological fluids.

Test Principle

This ELISA kit uses the Competitive-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with MT. During the reaction, MT in the sample or standard competes with a fixed amount of MT on the solid phase supporter for sites on the Biotinylated Detection Ab specific to MT. 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 MT in tested samples can be calculated by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Asked: I use horse serum for induction serum shock in my cell line culture and I wonder to know that is there any cross-reactivity in the detection of melatonin by your kit between horse serum melatonin and human cell line supernatant melatonin

adminSubmitted [ Jan 24 2021 ]

Answered: MT(melatonin) is a small molecule with almost no difference in structure among different species. We suppose that there is cross-reactivity in the detection of melatonin between horse serum melatonin and human cell line supernatant melatonin.
