AffiELISA® Human AP13 Kit: Ultra-Sensitive Apelin 13 ELISA Detection

The AffiELISA® Human AP13 Kit uses competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. The provided microtiter plate comes pre-coated with Apelin 13 (AP13) protein. To perform the assay, standards or samples are added to designated wells on the microtiter plate. Subsequently, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Apelin 13 (AP13) is introduced. Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is then added to each well, followed by an incubation period. Afterward, the TMB substrate solution is added, initiating an enzyme-substrate reaction. To conclude the reaction, a sulphuric acid solution is introduced, causing a color change that can be measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. By comparing the optical density (OD) of the samples to the standard curve, the concentration of Apelin 13 (AP13) in the samples can be determined.
