Rat neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin,NGAL ELISA Kit
Product Details
| Description |
The Rat neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) ELISA Kit is used to quantitatively measure NGAL concentrations in rat serum, plasma, urine, or tissue homogenates. It performs well in important characteristics, including sensitivity, specificity, precision, recovery, linearity, and lot-to-lot consistency. This assay is based on the sandwich ELISA mechanism and enzyme-substrate chromogenic reaction. The solution color develops proportionally to the amount of NGAL in the sample. And the intensity of the color can be measured at 450 nm via a microplate reader. NGAL was originally isolated from secondary granules of human neutrophils as a 25 KDa protein covalently linked to matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in human neutrophils. It is highly induced in the kidney after ischemic or nephrotoxic acute kidney injury (AKI) in animal models. NGAL has been reported as an early urine and plasma biomarker of AKI in pediatric and adult cardiac surgery. Urinary NGAL has been employed as a ... Read more |

| Linearity |
| To assess the linearity of the assay, samples were spiked with high concentrations of rat NGAL in various matrices and diluted with the Sample Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay. |

| Materials provided |
- A micro ELISA plate --- The 96-well plate has been pre-coated with an anti-rat NGAL. This dismountable microplate can be divided into 12 x 8 strip plates.
- Two vials lyophilized standard ---Dilute a bottle of the standard at dilution series, read the OD values, and then draw a standard curve.
- One vial Biotin-labeled NGAL antibody (100 x concentrate) (120 μl/bottle) ---Act as the detection antibody.
- One vial HRP-avidin (100 x concentrate) (120 μl/bottle) ---Bind to the detection antibody and react with the TMB substrate to make the solution chromogenic.
- One vial Biotin-antibody Diluent (15 ml/bottle) ---Dilute the Biotin-antibody.
- One vial HRP-avidin Diluent (15 ml/bottle) ---Dilute the HRP-avidin solution.
- One vial Sample Diluent(50 ml/bottle)---Dilute the sample to an appropriate concentration.
- One vial Wash Buffer (25 x concentrate) (20 ml/bottle) ---Wash away unbound or free substances.
- One vial TMB Substrate (10 ml/bottle) ---Act as the chromogenic agent. TMB interacts with HRP, eliciting the solution turns blue.
