cAMP Plasma ELISA

Enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative measurement of cAMP in human EDTA plasma.

INTENDED USE: For the quantitative measurement of cAMP (cyclic adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate) in human EDTA plasma by an ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay). For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

GENERAL INFORMATION:The cAMP Plasma ELISA is a competitive immunoassay. Competition occurs between cAMP present in calibrators, controls, specimen samples and an enzyme-labelled antigen (HRP conjugate) for a limited number of anti-cAMP antibody binding sites on the microplate wells. After a washing step that removes unbound materials, the TMB substrate (enzyme substrate) is added which reacts with HRP to form a blue-coloured product that is inversely proportional to the amount of cAMP present. Following an incubation, the enzymatic reaction is terminated by the addition of the stopping solution, converting the colour from blue to yellow. The absorbance is measured on a microplate reader at 450 nm. A set of calibrators is used to plot a calibrator curve from which the amount of cAMP in specimen samples and controls can be directly read.
