Tetrahydrofolium Acid ELISA Kit

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Tetrahydrofolic Acid (THFA) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Tetrahydrofolic Acid (THFA) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate. CV (%) = SD/meanX100 Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12%

All Species

Tetrahydrofolic acid is a folic acid derivative. It is produced from dihydrofolic acid by dihydrofolate reductase. It is converted into 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate by serine hydroxymethyltransferase. It is a coenzyme in many reactions, especially in the metabolism of amino acids and nucleic acids. It acts as a donor of a group with one carbon atom. It gets this carbon atom by sequestering formaldehyde produced in other processes.

Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent assay-Competitive

Colorimetric

This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to Tetrahydrofolic Acid (THFA) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled Tetrahydrofolic Acid (THFA) and unlabeled Tetrahydrofolic Acid (THFA) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to Tetrahydrofolic Acid (THFA) . After incubation the unbound conjugate is washed off. Next, avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP conjugate is reverse proportional to the concentration of Tetrahydrofolic Acid (THFA) in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of Tetrahydrofolic Acid (THFA) in the sample.
