About Hepatitis A Virus IgM (HAV IgM) ELISA Kit
This assay is based upon the two-step capture method. In the first step, the sample and mouse monoclonal Anti-human IgM coated micro plate are combined. During the incubation, IgM antibodies present in the sample bind to the Anti-human IgM coated on the wells. After the washing, in the second step, HAV antigens and Enzyme Conjugate are added to the wells. During the incubation, HAV antigens are allowed to react with the Anti-HAV IgM bound to the micro plate and enzyme labeled antibodies, then a complex is generated among the solid phase, HAV antigens and enzyme-linked antibodies by immunological reactions. After a second washing, Substrate A and Substrate B are then added and catalyzed by this complex, resulting in a chromogenic reaction. The resulting chromogenic reaction is measured as absorbance. The color intensity is proportional to the amount of Anti-HAV in the sample.

FAQs of Hepatitis A Virus IgM (HAV IgM) ELISA Kit:
Q: How does the HAV IgM ELISA Kit detect Hepatitis A infections?
A: The kit utilizes the sandwich ELISA principle to capture and identify IgM antibodies specific to Hepatitis A Virus in human serum or plasma, providing qualitative results via colorimetric detection at 450 nm.
Q: What sample volume is needed for each test well?
A: Each test requires 100 L of serum or plasma per well. This volume ensures precise and reproducible qualitative results.
Q: When should I use this kit for testing?
A: Use this kit when there is a clinical suspicion of recent or acute Hepatitis A infection. It is particularly effective during the early symptomatic phase when IgM antibodies typically appear.
Q: Where should the HAV IgM ELISA Kit be stored for optimal stability?
A: To maintain reagent integrity and maximize shelf life (1218 months), store the kit at a temperature between 28C in a laboratory refrigerator.
Q: What is the typical process for running the ELISA assay?
A: The process involves adding pre-diluted samples and controls to the pre-coated microplate, followed by incubations, washes, addition of the conjugate and substrate, and a final stop solution addition before measuring absorbance.
Q: Who should use this ELISA Kit?
A: This kit is intended for professional use by trained laboratory personnel only, as it is classified for in vitro diagnostic applications and requires laboratory-specific equipment and handling.
Q: What are the key benefits of this ELISA kit for laboratories?
A: Laboratories benefit from high accuracy, ease of use with ready-to-use reagents, included controls for result validation, and efficient assay completion within approximately 6075 minutes.
