Aflibercept ELISA Kit

Sample

Serum, Plasma (EDTA, Heparin)

Species Reactivity

Human

Detection Method

sELISA

Intended Use

The Aflibercept ELISA has been especially developed for the quantitative analysis of free Aflibercept in serum and plasma samples.

Storage

The kit is shipped at ambient temperature (10-30°C) and should be stored at 2-8°C for long term storage. Keep away from heat or direct sunlight. The strips of microtiter plate are stable up to the expiry date of the kit in the broken, but tightly closed bag when stored at 2-8°C.

Precision

Intra-assay and inter-assay CVs < 30%

Sensitivity

The lowest detectable level (Lowest detection limit, LOD) that can be distinguished from the zero standard is 10 ng/mL
Functional sensitivity (Limit of quantification-LOQ): 30 ng/mL

General Description

Aflibercept is a recombinant protein composed of the binding domains of two human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors fused with the Fc region of human immunoglobulin gamma 1 (IgG1). Aflibercept, as an ophthalmic agent, is used in the treatment of macular edema following Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO) and neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Compared to other anti-VEGF drugs like bevacizumab and ranibizumab, aflibercept has a higher binding affinity to VEGF-A.
