ELISA Kit PrincipleAviva Systems Biology 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid ELISA Kit (OKEH02580) is based on a competitive enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter well-plate in this kit has been pre-coated with an anti-5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid antibody. Sample or standards are added to the wells along with a fixed quantity of biotinylated 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid and incubated. The 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid found in the sample or standards competes with the biotinylated 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid for limited binding sites on the immobilized anti-5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid antibody. Excess unbound biotinylated 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid and sample or standard 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid is washed from the plate. Avidin-HRP conjugate is added, incubated and washed. An enzymatic reaction is then produced through the addition of TMB substrate which is catalyzed by the immobilized HRP to generate a blue color product that changes yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is measured by reading the absorbance at 450 nm which is quantitatively proportional to the amount of biotinylated 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid captured in the well and inversely proportional to the amount of 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid which was contained in the sample or standard.
