DescriptionSMC™ Human TNFα High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit
OverviewThe SMC™ Human TNFα 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 InformationTNF alpha (TNFα) is a cytokine produced by activated macrophages as well as other cells such as lymphocytes, neutrophils and mast cells. It is a key cytokine in the acute phase reaction and its primary role is regulation of immune cells. It can induce fever, inflammation and apoptotic cell death while dysregulation of TNFα has been shown to play a role in diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease.

ApplicationThe sensitivity of the Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) technology gives the SMC™ Human TNFα High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit unparalleled performance in the quantification of TNFα 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 TNFα kit, #03-0088-00:
• 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®
