Mouse Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A Sandwich ELISA Kit from Innovative Research is intended for the quantitative determination of Mouse Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A in biofluid samples, such as serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. This is a sandwich Sandwich ELISA in strip well format with reagents for up to 96 tests . PAPPA present in samples reacts with an anti-Mouse PAPPA capture antibody coated and dried on a microtiter plate. After appropriate washing steps, an anti-PAPPA detection antibody conjugated to biotin binds to the captured analyte. Excess antibody is washed away and bound antibody is then reacted with avidin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase. TMB substrate is used for color development at 450nm. Color development is directly proportional to the concentration of active PAPPA in the samples. A standard calibration curve is prepared along with the samples to be measured using dilutions of Mouse PAPPA. Detection Target: Mouse Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A Reactivity: Mouse Range: 0.156-10ng/mL Sensitivity: 0.065ng/mL Storage Conditions: Store all components at 4┬░C This Mouse PAPPA activity assay is for the quantitative determination of Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A in samples including serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. For research use only. Strip well format. Reagents for up to 96 tests. For research use only. At Innovative Research, we provide reliable, consistent products that deliver reliable, consistent results.

• Preheat a water bath to 37 C.
• Place the frozen plasma sample directly in the water bath.
• Gently agitate the plasma sample every 5-10 minutes to insure even thawing.
• The total thawing time will depend on the frozen sample volume. A 10 ml sample might be thawed completely in 5 minutes, but a large sample could take up to 1 hour.
• The thawed sample should be used immediately or stored at 4 C for up to 24 hours. Liquid plasma should never be kept on ice or stored below 0 C as the cold may cause clotting.
• Plasma should be visually inspected for signs of clotting or precipitation before use in experiments. A coagulation test such as aPTT can also be performed to verify the preservation of the hemostasis system.
• Plasma should always be snap-frozen by placing the tube in dry ice for at least 1 hour. Large containers can be covered in dry ice for even freezing.
• Frozen plasma should be stored at –20 C or colder. Lower temperatures will help preserve labile plasma proteins for longer time periods.
