This high sensitive ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) kit is produced for the exclusively quantitative determination of glucagon-llike peptide-1 (7-36) [GLP-1 (7-36)] level in serum and EDTA-plasma sample among human, rat, mouse, goat, etc.  

This ELISA is designed, developed and produced for the quantitative measurement of bioactive GLP-1 (7-36) in plasma sample. The assay utilizes the two-site “sandwich” technique with two selected GLP-1 (7-36) specific antibodies. Assay standards, controls and test samples are directly added to wells of a microplate that is coated with streptavidin. Subsequently, a mixture of biotinylated GLP-1 (7-36) specific antibody and a horseradish peroxidate (HRP) conjugated GLP-1 (7-36) specific antibody is added to each well. After the first incubation period, a “sandwich” immunocomplex of “Streptavidin – Biotin-Antibody – GLP-1(7-36) – HRP conjugated antibody” is formed and attached to the wall of the plate. The unbound HRP conjugated antibody is removed in a subsequent washing step. For the detection of this immunocomplex, each well is then incubated with a substrate solution in a timed reaction and then measured in a spectrophotometric microplate reader. The enzymatic activity of the immunocomplex bound to GLP-1 (7-36) on the wall of the microtiter well is directly proportional to the amount of  GLP-1 (7-36) in the sample.
