Reproducibility

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Beta-Endorphin (bEP) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Beta-Endorphin (bEP) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.
CV(%) = SD/meanX100
Intra-Assay: CV<10%
Inter-Assay: CV<12%

Assay time

2h

storage and Stability

All the kits should stored according to the manual.
The Standard, Detection Reagent A, Detection Reagent B and the 96-well strip plate should be stored at -20 degree upon receipt while the others should be at 4 degree.
The stability of kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.

Principle of the Elisa

Competitive Inhibition
Test principle: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to Beta-Endorphin (bEP) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled Beta-Endorphin (bEP) and unlabeled Beta-Endorphin (bEP) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to Beta-Endorphin (bEP). After incubation the unbound conjugate is washed off. Next, avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP conjugate is reverse proportional to the concentration of Beta-Endorphin (bEP) in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of Beta-Endorphin (bEP) in the sample.
