HAV Ab CE ELISA, 96 Wells, Min 10 kits per order

INTENDED USE
Competitive Enzyme ImmunoAssay (ELISA) for the determination of antibodies to Hepatitis A Virus in
human plasma and sera. For Research Use Only.

Principle Of The Test
The assay is based on the principle of competition where the antibodies in the sample compete with an anti-HAV specific antibody, labeled with HRP, for a fixed amount of antigen on the solid phase. A purified and inactivated HAV is coated to the microwells. The donor’s serum/plasma is added to the microwell and antibodies to HAV are captured by the solid phase.
After washing, the enzyme conjugate is added and binds to the free HAV antigen, if still present. The plate is washed to remove unbound conjugate and then the chromogen/substrate is added.
In the presence of peroxidase the colorless substrate is hydrolysed to a coloured end-product, whose optical density may be detected and is inversely proportional to the amount of antibodies to HAV present in the sample.
An additive is added to the sample directly into the well to block interferences able to mask the presence of antibodies, mostly appearing in the follow up of vaccination.
