The Types Of Cancer ELISA Kits

By Lila Bryant


ELISA is a diagnostic test that mostly used antibodies and color change to determine a substance. The cancer ELISA kits are commonly used for these tests to detect a certain response from the body from an infectious microbe that form tumors in different parts of the body. The tests consist an enzyme that caused a reaction in a chemical process. It composed of immunologic or antigen chemical compound in the body.

The cancer antigen 125 is a type of kit that express a certain measurement of antigen concentrations. It has usually 3 different features. The easy one that has a fixed feature in just one system, an efficient feature that reaches a test for 96 samples and the rapid feature that can provide a result in no less than four hours. This high technology allows everyone to screen many serum samples for various antigens that is incorporated with cancers in all levels.

Another is the breast cancer susceptibility protein 1 or the BRCA1. This is a high sensitive kit to specify and detect anyone who has breast tumor. This kit is identified by a loss of rate in activity. This loss rate is less than five percent in the duration of the expiry date under a necessary storage condition. To have a lesser impact on the performance, the laboratory state and operating procedures, such as room temperature must be controlled.

Tumor marker for lung cancer. This is a sandwich type of kit with quantitative measurement of the tumor, other biological serum and in the plasma. This composed of perfect specificity that detects an antigen. It has a lower limit of detection that was contain the lowest concentration of protein that could be recognized from zero.

An early prostate cancer antigen 2 is usually composed of reagents and pre coated. It also consists of standard diluent, freeze dried or standard, wash buffer, stop solution, assay diluent A and B and detection reagent. The tool is made in different groups with different detection range, color developing time and sensitivity level.

The signal transduction assay reaction is a sensitive and fast method to detect a comparable amount of activated targets in using a Phospho specific antibodies. This is a sandwich enzyme which provides a system in detecting a specific signaling target in a cell passage. The process may take less than 5 hours.

The ovarian tumor marker is an aggressive enzyme immunoassay system that utilizes a monoclonal antibody. The buffer and samples are elaborated together in a pre coated plate for one hour. After the whole process, the wells are strained and washed for five times.

The DNA damage EIA is an aggressive colorimetric enzyme immunoassay that may result after 2.5 hours. The samples are already validated and convenient in the 96 wells plate scheme. The tests of DNA are measured through the serum, saliva and urine of a person. The types of samples are plasma, cell lysates and the DNA extracts.

These are just a few of the type of kits that is available for both human and animal detection for tumors. Since it has different kinds and specifications, it is still the decision of physician on how it would be treated.
