Oxytocin ELISA Kit

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Oxytocin (OT) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Oxytocin (OT) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate. CV (%) = SD/meanX100 Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12%

Synthetic 9 residue cyclic peptide. The hormone is prepared synthetically to avoid possible contamination with vasopressin (ADH) and other small polypeptides with biologic activity.

This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to Oxytocin (OT) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled Oxytocin (OT) and unlabeled Oxytocin (OT) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to Oxytocin (OT) . After incubation the unbound conjugate is washed off. Next, avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP conjugate is reverse proportional to the concentration of Oxytocin (OT) in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of Oxytocin (OT) in the sample.
