The Epinephrine (EPI) BioAssay™ ELISA Kit (All Species) is a competitive inhibition immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative measurement of EPI in plasma, serum, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernatants and other biological fluids.

Detection Range:
24.69-2,000pg/ml

Sensitivity:
<9.74pg/ml

Precision:
Intra-Assay CV: <10%
Inter-Assay CV: <12%

Test Principle:
This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific for EPI has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction occurs between biotin-labeled EPI and unlabeled EPI (standards or samples) for limited binding sites on the pre-coated antibody. After incubation, unbound materials are washed off. Next, avidin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP conjugate is inversely proportional to the concentration of EPI in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is inversely proportional to the concentration of EPI in the sample.
