Product Overview
Sandwich ELISA KitSomatostatin is a peptide hormone that regulates the endocrine system and affects neurotransmission and cell proliferation via interaction with G-protein-coupled somatostatin receptors and inhibition of the release of numerous secondary hormones.Somatostatin was first discovered in hypothalamic extracts and identified as a hormone that inhibited secretion of growth hormone. Subsequently, somatostatin was found to be secreted by a broad range of tissues, including pancreas, intestinal tract and r…
Assay Principle
This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate SST in samples. An antibody specific for SST has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySST present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for SST is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzym…

Stability & Storage
The stability of ELISA 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. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test. Keep the kit at 37°C for 4 and 7 days, and compare O.D.values of the kit kept at 37°C with that of at recommended temperature.

This is a sandwich ELISA kit. It employs a capture antibody pre-coated on the microplate surface and a biotin-conjugated detection antibody. After incubation with streptavidin-HRP and TMB substrate, a colorimetric signal proportional to analyte concentration is generated and measured at 450 nm.
The linear detection range of this kit is 6.17-500 pg/mL. Samples exceeding the upper limit must be diluted prior to testing. Samples below the lower limit may require concentration steps. Always verify that interpolated values fall within the linear portion of the standard curve.
This kit is validated for use with serum and plasma samples. Cell culture supernatants and tissue homogenates may also be tested after appropriate preparation. Avoid grossly hemolyzed, lipemic, or bacterially contaminated samples, as these may produce inaccurate results.
A microplate reader capable of measuring absorbance at 450 nm (with a 540–570 nm reference wavelength) is required. A plate washer is recommended for consistent washing steps. Calibrated micropipettes, incubator (37°C), and standard laboratory consumables are also needed.
