Mouse / Rat Insulin ELISA (EIA) Kit

      Catalog#
       INSKR020
Rat Insulin ELISA Kit
(Rat / Mouse Insulin Assay)
 
 
 
Sample Size : 5µl for serum or plasma
50µl for fluid essay








Samples: Serum, plasma, or fluid
Tests: 96 wells (8 wells x 12 modules)
Reagents In lyophilized form
Assay Range: 0.156- 10.0 ng/ml for plasma and serum using 5µl sample
0.039 - 2.5 ng/ml for fluid using 50µl sample

Assay Time: Overnight procedure
Precision: Intra-assay precision was CV ≤ 10.0%
Inter-assay precision was CV ≤ 10.0%

Recovery: When rat insulin was spiked into rat serum, the recovery of rat insulin was 100% ± 10%
Specificity:

Typical Standard Curve
Mouse Insulin Assay : Using Optional Mouse Insulin Standard 2ng (Cat# INSSM021)
 Highlights:                 • Small Sample Volume: Only 5µl for serum or plasma

                • High Sensitivity: 156 pg/ml using 5µl sample of serum or plasma

                • Precision: Intra-assay and inter-assay precision CV ≤ 10.0%

Summary of Assay
Rat Insulin ELISA Kit (Catalog# INSKR020)
Serum or plasma sample
Fluid assay
Each well of the microplate is washed twice with wash buffer.*
Dispense 50µl guinea pig anti-insulin serum per well (reconstituted by Sample diluent 2 )
   
Dispense 50µl guinea pig anti-insulin serum per well (reconstituted by Sample diluent 1)
Dispense 45µl of sample diluent 2 and 5µl of sample (or 5µl working insulin standard reconstitued by Sample diluent 2)per well
   
Dispense 50µl sample (or 50µl working insulin standard reconstitued by Sample diluent 1)per well
Incubate the microplate overnight at 4 °C
Wash the well three times with wash buffer*
Dispense 100 µl anti-guinea pig antibody enzyme conjugate per well
Incubate the microplate for 3 hours at room temperature
Wash the well five times with wash buffer solution*
Dispense 100µl enzyme substrate solution per well
Incubate microplate for 30 minutes at room temperature while avoiding exposure to light
Stop the reaction by adding 50µl of enzyme reaction stop solution per well
Immediately measure A492 and subtract A630 values
Calculate the insulin concentration by the standard curve
 
 

            * Each well should be washed with 300µl of wash buffer. Aspirate the wells completely so all excess solution               is removed
