The RT3 (Reverse Triiodothyronine) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the precise measurement of RT3 levels in samples of human serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This advanced kit offers exceptional sensitivity and specificity, ensuring accurate and consistent results that are vital for various research purposes. RT3, also known as reverse T3, is a metabolite of the thyroid hormone T4 that plays a key role in regulating metabolism and energy production. Abnormal levels of RT3 have been linked to thyroid disorders, obesity, and other health conditions, making it a valuable biomarker for studying these conditions and exploring potential treatment options.
With its unmatched performance and versatility, the RT3 ELISA Kit is an essential tool for researchers and healthcare professionals conducting studies related to thyroid function, metabolism, and related disorders. Order today and unlock the full potential of your research endeavors.

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.
Sample Type
Protocol
Serum
Allow blood to clot, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 20 minutes, collect supernatant and store appropriately.
Plasma
Collect using EDTA anticoagulant, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 15 minutes at 2–8°C and collect plasma.
Cell Culture Supernatant
Centrifuge at 1000 × g for 20 minutes at 4°C and collect clarified supernatant.
Cell Lysate
Lyse cells using recommended lysis buffer with protease inhibitors, centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes, and collect protein supernatant.
Tissue Homogenate
Homogenize tissue in PBS with protease inhibitors, centrifuge at 5000 × g for 5 minutes, and collect supernatant.
Other Sample Types
Centrifuge samples at 1000 × g for 15 minutes at 2–8°C and collect supernatant. For additional guidance, please contact techsupport@assaygenie.com.
