This kit uses Sandwich-CLIA as the method. The micro CLIA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Rat IL18. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate micro CLIA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Rat IL18 and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added to each micro plate well successively and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Rat IL18, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear fluorescence. The Relative light unit (RLU) value is measured spectrophotometrically by the Chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer. The RLU value is positively associated with the concentration of Rat IL18. The concentration of Rat IL18 in the samples can be calculated by comparing the RLU of the samples to the standard curve.

As the RLU values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e. g. operator, pipetting technique, washing technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data is provided below for reference only.

Recovery
The recovery of Rat IL18 CLIA Kit spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.
| Sample Type | Range (%) | Average Recovery (%) |
| Serum (n=5) | 91-102 | 96 |
| EDTA plasma (n=5) | 91-103 | 97 |
| Cell culture media (n=5) | 95-108 | 100 |
Linearity
Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Rat IL18 CLIA Kit and diluted with Reference Standard & Sample Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.
