Folic Acid
Competitive Inhibition
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Folic Acid (FA) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Folic Acid (FA) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.

The minimum detectable dose of this kit is typically less than 14.7pg/mL
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Folic Acid (FA).
No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Folic Acid (FA) and analogues was observed.
The stability of kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.
This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to Folic Acid (FA) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled Folic Acid (FA) and unlabeled Folic Acid (FA) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to Folic Acid (FA). 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 Folic Acid (FA) in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of Folic Acid (FA) in the sample.
