DescriptionSMC™ Human IL-1β High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit
OverviewThe SMC™ Human IL-1β High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit contains all reagents required to perform the assay. This assay takes advantage of a standard immunoassay workflow configured in a standard plate format. Assay protocols are similar to existing sandwich ELISA methods with two key differences: 1) Elution buffer disrupts the sandwich, separating the labeled detection antibody for quantification. 2) The Erenna® and SMCxPRO™ immunoassay systems detect analytes using Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) technology.
Background InformationIL-1β is a member of the Interleukin 1 family of cytokines and is produced by activated macrophages. It is a critical mediator of the inflammatory response and is important in cell activities such as differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. It is important in host defense response to infection and injury. Increases in IL-1 β are associated with some autoinflammatory syndromes, ischemic diseases, tumors, inflammation and as well as Alzheimer’s disease.

Applications
ApplicationThe sensitivity of the Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) technology gives the SMC™ Human IL-1β High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit unparalleled performance in the quantification of IL-1β in human serum and plasma.
Key Applications
  • Single Molecule Counting (SMC®)
Application NotesThis new streamline kit has been improved with the following features while the kit performance is consistent with the legacy IL-1β kit, #03-0028-00:
• Improved options for sample prep and incubation
• Lyophilization of the standard provides the kit at one storage condition
• Removal of a plate transfer step
• Overnight incubation can be used
• Increased reagent volumes to accommodate automation
• Validated to run on both SMCxPRO™ and Erenna®
