SMC^® Human IL-18 High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit

The SMC^® Human IL-18 High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit contains all reagents required to perform the assay. This assay takes advantage of a standard immunoassay workflow configured in a standard plate format.
Assay protocols are similar to existing sandwich ELISA methods with two key differences:
1) Elution buffer disrupts the sandwich, separating the labeled detection antibody for quantification.
2) The Erenna and SMCxPRO^® immunoassay systems detect analytes using Single Molecule Counting (SMC^®) technology.

Species Reactivity:
Specificity to the following species recombinant proteins were tested with the following results:
Feline – 0.5% Mouse – 4% Rat – 0.3%

Cross Reactivity:
No cross-reactivity was seen with the following cytokines: IL-1a, IL-1ß, IL-1RA, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12 (p40), IL-12 (p70), IL-13, IL-15, IL-17A, IL-17E, IL-7F, IL-22, IL-27.

Accuracy:

• Minimum of 5 serum samples spiked with average recovery of 99% with a range of 92-107%
• Minimum of 5 plasma samples spiked with average recovery of 95% with a range of 88-103%

The sensitivity of the Single Molecule Counting (SMC^®) technology gives the SMC^® Human IL-18 High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit unparalleled performance in the quantification of IL-18 in human serum and plasma.

This new streamline kit has the following features including:

• Improved options for sample prep and incubation
• Lyophilization of the standard provides the kit at one storage condition
• Increased reagent volumes to accommodate automation
• Validated to run on both SMCxPRO^® and Erenna
