Stability & Storage

Background: Dopamine

Dopamine is extracted by using a cis-diol-specific affinity gel, acylated and then converted enzymatically. The competitive ELISA kit uses the microtiter plate format. The antigen is bound to the solid phase of the microtiter plate. The derivatized standards, controls and samples and the solid phase bound analytes compete for a fixed number of antibody binding sites. After the system is in equilibrium, free antigen and free antigen-antibody complexes are removed by washing. The antibody bound to the solid phase is detected by an anti-rabbit IgG-peroxidase conjugate using TMB as a substrate. The reaction is monitored at 450 nm. Quantification of unknown samples is achieved by comparing their absorbance with a standard curve prepared with known standard concentrations.

FAQs for Dopamine ELISA Kit (Colorimetric)

Showing  1 - 3 of 3 FAQs Showing All

  • Q: I wanted some information regarding the ELISA kit form Novus biologicals cat no. KA1887 and NB100-64534. Its sensitivity and detection towards lowest levels of dopamine and cross reactivity. Can this product be used for quantifying DOPAMINE from culture supernatant?

    A: KA1887 has been tested on urine and plasma and the limit of detection is 4.5 ng/mL urine and 20 pg/mL plasma. It will most likely work on cell culture supernatant as well. NB100-64534 is just an antibody that you would need to use to create your own ELISA, so the limit of detection has not been determined.

  • Q: One of our customer would be interested in your kits: Dopamine ELISA Kit (KA1887) and Epinephrine ELISA Kit (KA1882). The customer is going to test mouse serum and plasma samples. Please, let me know if these kits could be use with mouse samples.

    A: Both of these kits can be used with mouse urine and plasma samples very successfully.

  • Q: Will this ELISA work for tissue homogenates?

    A: Thank you for contacting Novus Biologicals. KA1887 is made by Abnova, for whom we distribute in the US. This kit has been QC'd using plasma and urine. Abnova has not tested this for other samples and does not guarantee it for use on those samples. I have included a link to the protocol for your perusal. KA1887 Protocol.
