Serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids

The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of MMP2 in equine serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids.

0.59ng/ml

1.56-100ng/ml

This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Wide-range Matrix Metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2). No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Wide-range Matrix Metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) and analogues was observed.

Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12%

The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to MMP2. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to MMP2. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain MMP2, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of MMP2 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
