12. rmation ll General Description The RayBio Vasopressin Enzyme Immunoassay EIA Kit is an in vitro quantitative assay for detecting Vasopressin peptide based on the competitive enzyme immunoassay principle In this assay a biotinylated Vasopressin peptide is spiked into the samples and standards The samples and standards are then added to the plate where the biotinylated Vasopressin peptide competes with endogenous unlabeled Vasopressin for binding to the anti Vasopressin antibody After a wash step any bound biotinylated Vasopressin then interacts with horseradish peroxidase HRP streptavidin which catalyzes a color development reaction The intensity of the colorimetric signal is directly proportional to the amount of captured biotinylated Vasopressin peptide and inversely proportional to the amount of endogenous Vasopressin in the standard or samples A standard curve of known concentration of Vasopressin peptide can be established and the concentration of Vasopressin peptide in the samples can be calculated accordingly Ill How It Works Y Y ace yi yi Target molecule Biotinylated tt in sample Peptide bed tk gt Capture antibody yi pn is added to the wells Biotin peptide Standard w 5 Sample interact competitivly m_a i for spots on the capture antibodies Y Y BNP EIA Kit a Add HRP Streptavidin and Color Substrate Data Analysis IV Storage The entire kit may be stored at 20 C to 80 C fo
