The Human T4 ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the precise measurement of T4 levels in human serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit offers exceptional sensitivity and specificity, guaranteeing accurate and consistent results for various research applications. Thyroxine (T4) is a key hormone produced by the thyroid gland that plays a vital role in regulating metabolism, growth, and energy levels in the body. Imbalances in T4 levels can lead to thyroid disorders, affecting overall health and well-being.
By measuring T4 levels, researchers can gain valuable insights into thyroid function and related conditions, allowing for more targeted research and development of potential treatments. Overall, the Human T4 ELISA Kit is a valuable tool for studying thyroid health and related disorders, providing researchers with the necessary tools to advance their research and contribute to the understanding and treatment of thyroid-related conditions.

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.
