Applications

Sandwich ELISA

Reactivity

Human

Assay type

Sandwich (quantitative)

Sensitivity

< 3 mIU/ml

Sample type

Serum.

Cross reactivity

This assay has shown no detectable cross-reactivity with human; FSH, TSH, Prolactin, or GH. But there is cross reaction with hCG in this assay. After pregnancy hCG levels are elevated, therefore the use of LH ELISA Kit is not recommended during pregnancy or immediately post-parturition.

Detection type

Colorimetric

Platform

Pre-coated Microplate (12 x 8 well strips)

Product range

3-240 mIU/ml

Principiul testului

This LH enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) applies a technique called a quantitative sandwich immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been precoated with a monoclonal antibody specific for LH. Standards or samples are then added to the microtiter plate wells and LH if present, will bind to the antibody pre-coated on the wells. In order to quantitate the amount of LH present in the sample, a standardized preparation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated monoclonal antibody, specific for LH are added to each well to “sandwich” the LH immobilized on the plate. The microtiter plate undergoes incubation, then the wells are thoroughly washed to remove all unbound components. Next, a TMB (3,3',5,5' tetramethyl-benzidine) substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme (HRP) and substrate are allowed to react over a short incubation period. Only those wells that contain LH and enzyme-conjugated antibody will exhibit a change in colour. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the colour change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. In order to measure the concentration of LH in the sample, this Human LH ELISA Kit includes a set of calibration standards (6 standards). The calibration standards are assayed at the same time as the samples and allow the operator to produce a standard curve of Optical Density (O.D.) versus LH concentration (mIU/mL). The concentration of LH in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
