AMERICAN LABORATORY PRODUCTS COMPANY, LTD. 24-MABHU-E01 Microalbumin ELISA

The Microalbumin assay procedure is a competitive ELISA in which enzyme labeled albumin competes with albumin insamples for limited antibody binding sites on the microplate. After incubation for a fixed time, separation of bound fromfree is achieved by simple decantation and plate washing. The enzyme activity on the plate is measured using an enzymesubstrate and a chromogen. The absorbency of the color developed is read in an ELISA colorimetric reader. The measuredabsorbance is inversely proportional to the concentration of bound albumin in the microplate. The concentration ofalbumin in the urine is determined from a calibration curve.
