Principle of the Assay: UCN ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a Polyclonal anti-UCN antibody and an UCN-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with UCN-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the UCN concentration since UCN from samples and UCN-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-UCN antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by UCN from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind UCN-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The UCN concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

Product Notes
The Chicken UCN ucn (Catalog #AAA753707) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA753707 ELISA Kit recognizes Chicken UCN. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Urocortin, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
