About Total T4 ELISA Kit
The BI-EIA-Thyroid-T4 total is a one-step immunoassayto determine the presence of total thyroxine (total T4) in human serum using competitive microplate enzyme immunoassay.Plates are coatedwith anti-T4 antibodies. Serum reference,patient specimen, or control is first added to microplate well. Enzyme-T4conjugate is added. Thyroxine present in the sample competes with Enzyme-thyroxine conjugate for binding with anti-T4 coated micro plate to for man antigen-antibody complex.Unbound conjugateis removed by washing. The enzyme activity in the antibody-bound fraction is inversely proportional to the native thyroxine concentration. The enzyme activity is revealed by a color change in TMB-sub strate solution.

FAQs of Total T4 ELISA Kit:
Q: How does the Total T4 ELISA Kit detect thyroxine in samples?
A: The kit operates on a competitive immunoassay principle, where sample T4 and labeled T4 compete for antibody binding sites. This allows for precise quantification of total thyroxine in human serum or plasma.
Q: What sample types are compatible with the Total T4 ELISA Kit?
A: The kit is validated for use with human serum or plasma, providing flexible options for sample selection in laboratory settings.
Q: When should I use this kit for T4 measurement?
A: This kit is ideal for quantitative measurement of total T4 during diagnostic assessments of thyroid function or when monitoring patients suspected of thyroid disorders.
Q: Where should I store the kit and how do I handle its contents?
A: Store the kit at 28C and avoid freezing. All reagents are provided ready-to-use, with high-quality packaging to maintain stability and accuracy throughout the shelf life.
Q: What is the process for running an assay with this kit?
A: To run the assay, add 25 L of serum or plasma and the reagents provided into the wells as per the protocol, incubate for 6090 minutes, then read absorbance at 450 nm. Use the included standards and controls for accurate quantification and result validation.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing this kit for your laboratory?
A: The kit offers high sensitivity (<0.5 g/dL), robust reproducibility, ease of use, and quick results. Inclusion of multiple standards and controls ensures reliable data and confidence in diagnostic decisions.
Q: Can this kit be used for high-throughput testing?
A: Yes, with 96 wells per kit and a swift turnaround time, it is well-suited for laboratories that process multiple samples efficiently.
