DESCRIPTION

MININEPH
PLUS
by an antibody/antigen reaction to determine protein concentrations.
The light source is a diode laser that emits at 670nm. The focused light passes through a
cuvette containing the reaction mixture, where antibody/antigen complexes cause light to
be scattered. This scatter is proportional to the amount of antibody/antigen complexes that
have formed, and is detected by a photodiode.
For each assay, a scatter reading is taken at the beginning of the antibody/antigen
reaction (blank or 1st reading), followed by a second scatter reading at a fixed time. The
analyte concentration is calculated using the difference between these two readings.
