Rat Complement C3 ELISA Kit

Product details

Rat Complement C3 ELISA Kit ab157731 is a sandwich ELISA to measure Rat Complement C3 in serum, plasma with a sensitivity of 2.82 ng/ml.

How the assay works

In this assay the Complement C3 present in samples reacts with the anti-Complement C3 antibodies which have been adsorbed to the surface of polystyrene microtiter wells. After the removal of unbound proteins by washing, anti-Complement C3 antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are added. These enzyme-labeled antibodies form complexes with the previously bound Complement C3. Following another washing step, the enzyme bound to the immunosorbent is assayed by the addition of a chromogenic substrate, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The quantity of bound enzyme varies directly with the concentration of Complement C3 in the sample tested; thus, the absorbance, at 450 nm, is a measure of the concentration of Complement C3 in the test sample. The quantity of Complement C3 in the test sample can be interpolated from the standard curve constructed from the standards, and corrected for sample dilution.
