Assay Principle
The Tribio® Human IFN-α Fast ELISA is a solid phase ELISA designed to measure human IFN-α levels in cell culture supernatants, serum, and plasma. The main feature is that the kit uses our novel proprietary approaches to combine samples and detection into a one-step instead of the complicated traditional methods. It makes the assay simple, easy, accurate and fast. The measurement can be finished in 2 hours, with no need for 5-6 hours (Fig. 1). The detection range is from 15.6 to 1000 pg/mL. The levels of human IFN-α samples are parallel to the standard curves obtained using the kit standards linearly. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human IFN-α protein.
Typical Data This standard curve is provided for demonstration only as Fig.3. A standard curve should be generated for each set of samples assayed.
Sensitivity The minimum detectable dose (MOD) of human IFN-α is typically 8 pg/ml.
Fast Human IFN-α ELISA Kit is a Solid-phase ELISA for the quantitative determination of IFN-α. The microplate is pre-coated with a capture antibody specific to the target. Target present in the sample or standard binds the immobilized antibody, is detected with a biotinylated detection antibody and streptavidin-HRP, and quantified colorimetrically against a standard curve.
Kit Components
The kit provides a pre-coated microplate, target standard for standard-curve generation, detection reagents (detection antibody and enzyme conjugate), wash buffer, substrate, and stop solution. Refer to the product datasheet for the complete component list and quantities.

Safety & Handling
This kit is validated for cell culture supernatant, serum, plasma. Other matrices may require additional in-lab validation.
This assay has a sensitivity of 8 pg/mL and a detection range of 15.6–1000 pg/mL. Samples reading outside the range should be diluted or concentrated.
The total assay time is approximately 2 hours from sample addition to plate reading.
The kit provides a pre-coated microplate, target standard for standard-curve generation, detection reagents (detection antibody and enzyme conjugate), wash buffer, substrate, and stop solution. See the datasheet for the full component list and quantities.
A standard microplate reader capable of measuring absorbance at 450 nm is required for this sandwich ELISA.
