Revvity, 64ALDPEG, HTRF Aldosterone Detection Kit, 500 Assay Points

Overview
The Aldosterone assay kit accurately measures the release of the Aldosterone steroid hormone in cell supernatant and serum samples. Aldosterone is a steroid hormone synthesized from cholesterol in the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone is metabolized in the kidney and liver, and functions as the key mineralocorticoid in the control of sodium and potassium balance. The Aldosterone kit offers superior benefits over traditional ELISA readouts with the ease of an Add & Read process coupled with the robustness and sensitivity of homogeneous TR-FRET assays.
HTRF assays offer many advantages over other technologies:

Homogeneous add-and-read format
No wash steps
Low background
Straightforward miniaturization from 96- or 384-well microplates to high density assay formats such as 384-well low volume and 1536-well plates
Stable signal, providing flexibility in time of readout or size of assays
How it works
Assay principle
The kit is based on a competitive format involving a specific antibody labelled with Cryptate (donor) and Aldosterone coupled to XL665 (acceptor). Aldosterone produced by cells competes with XL665-labelled Aldosterone for binding to monoclonal anti-Aldosterone Eu Cryptate.
