Enzyme Immunoassay (ELISA) for the determination of Adrenaline (Epinephrine) and Noradrenaline (Norepinephrine) in plasma and urine.<br><br>
Adrenaline (epinephrine) is extracted by using a cis-diol-specific affinity gel, acylated and then converted enzymatically.<br><br>
The competitive ELISA kit uses the microtiter plate format. The antigen is bound to the solid phase of the microtiter plate. The derivatized standards, controls and samples and the solid phase bound analytes compete for a fixed number of antibody binding sites. After the system is in equilibrium, free antigen and free antigen-antibody complexes are removed by washing. The antibody bound to the solid phase is detected by an anti-rabbit IgG-peroxidase conjugate using TMB as a substrate. The reaction is monitored at 450nm.<br><br>
Quantification of unknown samples is achieved by comparing their absorbance with a reference curve prepared with known standard concentrations. For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedures.
