The Human COMT (Catechol-O-Methyltransferase) ELISA Kit is a powerful tool for the accurate measurement of COMT levels in human biological samples such as serum and plasma. With exceptional sensitivity and specificity, this kit delivers precise and reliable results suitable for a variety of research applications. COMT is an important enzyme responsible for the breakdown of catecholamines, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Dysregulation of COMT activity has been implicated in various neurological and psychiatric disorders, including Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and mood disorders.
By measuring COMT levels, researchers can gain valuable insights into the pathophysiology of these conditions and potentially identify new therapeutic targets. This ELISA kit offers a convenient and efficient way to quantitatively analyze COMT levels, making it an essential tool for researchers in the fields of neuroscience, pharmacology, and psychiatry. With its high performance and ease of use, the Human COMT ELISA Kit is a valuable resource for advancing our understanding of COMT biology and its implications in human health and disease.

Step
Procedure
1
Reagent & Plate Preparation: Equilibrate reagents and TMB substrate to room temperature. Set standard, test sample and control (zero) wells on the pre-coated plate and record their positions.
2
Primary Incubation: Prepare standards, samples, blanks and load into designated wells. Incubate plate at 37°C for 90 minutes to allow antigen binding.
3
Detection Antibody Binding: Add biotin-labeled detection antibody and incubate at 37°C for 60 minutes.
4
HRP-Streptavidin Binding: Add HRP-Streptavidin (SABC) and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes.
5
Color Development: Add TMB substrate and incubate in the dark for 10–20 minutes.
6
Stop Reaction & Reading: Add stop solution and measure absorbance at 450 nm immediately.
