The Bovine PAG2 (Pregnancy Associated Glycoprotein 2) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the accurate and precise measurement of PAG2 levels in bovine serum samples. This kit is highly sensitive and provides reliable and reproducible results, making it ideal for a variety of research applications. PAG2 is a key protein that plays a crucial role in pregnancy and is essential for proper fetal development and maternal recognition of pregnancy in bovines. Monitoring PAG2 levels can provide valuable insights into the reproductive health and pregnancy status of cattle, making it a valuable tool for researchers and veterinarians studying bovine reproduction.
Overall, the Bovine PAG2 ELISA Kit offers a powerful tool for researchers looking to investigate the role of PAG2 in bovine reproduction and develop new strategies for improving reproductive outcomes in cattle. Its high sensitivity and accuracy make it a valuable asset for any laboratory conducting research in this important area of study.

Step
Procedure
1
Reagent & Plate Preparation: Equilibrate TMB substrate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Prepare standards, samples (minimum 1:2 dilution), blanks, assign wells, and pre-wash the plate twice.
2
Sample & Biotin-Antibody Binding: Add 50 µL standard or sample followed by 50 µL biotin-labeled antibody to each well. Mix gently and incubate at 37°C for 45 minutes.
3
Washing: Wash the plate 5 times with wash buffer, allowing 1 minute soak time per wash.
4
Color Development: Add TMB substrate and incubate in the dark at 37°C for 10-20 minutes until color develops.
5
Stop Reaction: Add stop solution to terminate the reaction. The color changes from blue to yellow immediately.
6
Reading: Measure absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader.
