Hello,

I am currently optimizing an absorbance-based ELISA assay. The ELISA is a sandwich-type, with the final component being a secondary antibody fused to HRP. I then use Turbo-TMB to obtain absorbance values. As I am hoping to use the minimum amount of reagents in the ELISA, I have run a standard curve using a dilution series of one component of the assay which I hope to competitively inhibit. From this standard curve, I have determined the amount of the component suitable for the assay, however it is higher than I had hoped it to be. Will utilizing Ultra-TMB instead of Turbo-TMB have a dramatic change on the sensitivity of my assay and allow me to use less reagents in the sandwich?

Thank you!
