Principle of the Assay: This ELISA kit uses Sandwich-ELISA as the method. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to D4R/DRD4. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for D4R/DRD4 and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate is added to each micro plate well successively and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain D4R/DRD4, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of D4R/DRD4. You can calculate the concentration of D4R/DRD4 in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Product Notes
The Sheep D4R/DRD4 drd4 (Catalog #AAA2506942) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2506942 ELISA Kit recognizes Sheep D4R/DRD4. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "D4R/DRD4, 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
