The Mouse TNF-α ELISA research use only kit is designed to detect and quantify the level of mouse TNF-α in serum, plasma, and supernatant using 96-well plates and a microplate reader.

  • Easy to run
  • Rapid protocol
  • Convenient precoated, removable 8-well strips
Easy-to-Run Sandwich ELISA
The total assay incubation time is only 2.5 hours. A monoclonal capture antibody specific for Mouse TNF-α has been coated onto the wells of the 96-well plate provided. Samples, including a standard of known Mouse TNF-α content, controls, and unknowns, are pipetted into these wells followed by an addition of a biotinylated polyclonal detector antibody. During the first incubation, Mouse TNF-α antigen binds to the immobilized capture antibody and to the solution phase biotinylated detector antibody on a second site. After washing, a streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is added. This binds to the biotinylated detection antibody to complete the four–member sandwich. After a second incubation and washing to remove all unbound enzyme, a substrate solution (TMB) is added, which is acted upon by the bound enzyme to produce color. The intensity of this colored product is directly proportional to the concentration of Mouse TNF-α present in the original specimen and the optical density can be read on a standard microplate reader.

Convenient Kit Format
The kit comes with a capture antibody precoated to the plate, eliminating an overnight coating process. The plates are machine coated to provide low variability well-to-well. Furthermore, the plate comes as removable 8-well strips allowing you to run as few samples as you want.

Rigorous Validation
Each ELISA kit is validated for sensitivity, specificity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency. See protocol insert for more information on validation.
