The Epinephrine ELISA Kit offered by Assay Genie is a cutting-edge tool for the precise measurement of epinephrine levels in various biological samples including serum, plasma, and tissue culture supernatants. This kit is characterized by its exceptional sensitivity and specificity, ensuring accurate and consistent results for a wide range of research applications. Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is a vital hormone and neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in the body's response to stress and danger. It acts as a powerful stimulant, increasing heart rate, dilating airways, and mobilizing energy reserves to prepare the body for action.
Dysregulation of epinephrine levels has been linked to various medical conditions such as heart disease, asthma, and anxiety disorders. By accurately measuring epinephrine levels, researchers can gain valuable insights into the physiological and pathological processes involving this key molecule. This ELISA kit provides a reliable and efficient method for studying the role of epinephrine in health and disease, enabling advancements in biomedical research and drug development. Trust Assay Genie's Epinephrine ELISA Kit for dependable and insightful results in your studies.

Note: The below protocol is a sample protocol. Protocols are specific to each batch/lot. For the correct instructions please follow the protocol included in your kit.
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.
