Principle of the Assay: MCT ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing an anti-MCT antibody and an MCT-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with MCT-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 MCT concentration since MCT from samples and MCT-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-MCT antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by MCT from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind MCT-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The MCT concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

Product Notes
The Monkey MCT slc16a5 (Catalog #AAA735885) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA735885 ELISA Kit recognizes Monkey MCT. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Mast cell tryptase, 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
