Aflatoxin M1 ELISA Kit

The Aflatoxin M1 plate kit is a competitive enzyme-labeled immunoassay. The Aflatoxin M1 sample extract and calibrators are pipetted into the test wells followed by the Aflatoxin M1 antibody into the test wells to initiate the reaction. During the 30 minutes incubation period, Aflatoxin M1 from the sample and Aflatoxin M1 antigen compete for binding to the Aflatoxin M1 antibody. The Aflatoxin M1 antibody is captured on the walls of the test well. Following this 30-minute incubation, the contents of the wells are removed and the wells are washed to remove any unbound Aflatoxin M1 and free Aflatoxin M1 antibody. After wash, 1X HRP-conjugated Antibody#2 is added for 30 minutes incubation. The wells are washed afterwards, and a clear substrate is then added to the wells and any bound enzyme conjugate causes the conversion to a blue color. Following a 15-minute incubation, the reaction is stopped and the amount of color in each well is read. The color of the unknown samples is compared to the color of the calibrators and the Aflatoxin M1 concentration of the samples is derived.
