The Rabbit TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) ELISA Kit is a highly sensitive and specific assay designed for the accurate measurement of TSH levels in rabbit serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit provides reliable and reproducible results, making it ideal for research applications in the fields of endocrinology and thyroid function. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is a key regulator of thyroid function, stimulating the production and release of thyroid hormones. Abnormal TSH levels are associated with thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, making it a crucial biomarker for the diagnosis and monitoring of thyroid diseases.
The Rabbit TSH ELISA Kit offers researchers a valuable tool for studying the role of TSH in thyroid function and disease, providing insights into potential therapeutic targets and treatment strategies. Its high sensitivity and specificity make it a reliable choice for accurate and precise TSH measurements in rabbit samples.

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.
