AffiELISA® Hamster MMP12 Kit: High Sensitivity Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 ELISA Detection

The AffiELISA® Hamster MMP12 Kit uses Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The provided microtiter plate comes pre-coated with an antibody specific to Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12) . To perform the assay, standards or samples are added to designated wells on the microtiter plate. Subsequently, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12) is introduced. Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is then added to each well, followed by an incubation period. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12) , biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. By comparing the optical density (OD) of the samples to the standard curve, the concentration of Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12) in the samples can be determined.
