Format
48T, 96T, 96Tx5, 96Tx10, 96Tx100
Specificity
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Trimethylamine Oxide (TMAO) . No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Trimethylamine Oxide (TMAO) and analogues was observed.
Sensitivity
The minimum detectable dose of this kit is typically less than 61pg/mL
Detection Range
160-100,000pg/mL
Precision
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Trimethylamine Oxide (TMAO) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Trimethylamine Oxide (TMAO) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate. CV (%) = SD/meanX100 Intra-Assay: CV Inter-Assay: CV Inter-Assay: CV
Stability
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.
Assay Principle
This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. An antibody specific to TMAO has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled TMAO and unlabeled TMAO (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to TMAO. 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 TMAO in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of TMAO in the sample.
