5α-Androstane 3α, 17β-diol Glucuronide (3α Diol G)

The 3α-Diol G ELISA is a competitive immunoassay. Competition occurs between 3α-Diol G present in calibrators, controls, specimen samples and an enzyme-labelled antigen (HRP conjugate) for a limited number of anti-3α-Diol G antibody binding sites on the microplate wells. After a washing step that removes unbound materials, the TMB substrate (enzyme substrate) is added which reacts with HRP to form a blue-coloured product that is inversely proportional to the amount of 3α-Diol G present. Following an incubation, the enzymatic reaction is terminated by the addition of the stopping solution, converting the colour from blue to yellow. The absorbance is measured on a microplate reader at 450 nm. A set of calibrators is used to plot a calibrator curve from which the amount of 3α-Diol G in specimen samples and controls can be directly read.
