CatchPoint® SimpleStep ELISA® Kits

Don’t miss a thing with our fluorescent ELISA kits. Created in collaboration with Molecular Devices.

CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA kits have been developed using a fluorescent substrate to provide improved linearity over an extended dynamic range when compared to TMB substrate, the most widely used colorimetric substrate for ELISA. The extended dynamic range provides better quantification at both the lower and the upper end of the curve, as shown in the examples below.

CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA example data

The examples below show the improved linearity over an extended dynamic range of our Human ICAM-1 (ab229383) and Mouse FGF-21 (ab229382) CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA kits in comparison to equivalent SimpleStep ELISA kits (ab174445 and ab212160) that use the TMB colorimetric substrate.

Figure 1. Standard curve comparison over extended dynamic range of Human ICAM-1 CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA kit (ab229383) vs. Human ICAM-1 SimpleStep ELISA kit (ab174445). The fluorescent ELISA kit (ab229383) shows better linearity than the colorimetric ELISA kit (ab174445) over the extended dynamic range.
