Human IgE ELISA kits

Pick the right ELISA kit for Human IgE. Our kits differ in what we put in the box and how you develop the signal – this page explains what those differences mean.

IgE ELISA kits are also available for mouse.

What differs between these kits

Whether a pre-coated plate is included

Some of our kits arrive with the plate already coated with the capture antibody, so you can start with your samples. Others supply the antibodies and standard only. Coating your own plate is more work, and it gives you control over the coating conditions and the plate.

Which detection system

Available with Streptavidin-ALP or Streptavidin-HRP. You add the streptavidin conjugate as a second incubation after the biotinylated antibody, which amplifies the signal. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) perform equivalently, so that choice usually comes down to the substrate and reader you already work with.

Supplied without a plate, streptavidin conjugate

With a pre-coated strip plate, streptavidin conjugate, 1 plate

With a pre-coated strip plate, streptavidin conjugate, 2 plates

With a pre-coated strip plate, streptavidin conjugate, 10 plates

About IgE

These Human IgE ELISA kits target IGHE (Homo sapiens, Gene ID 3497).

The main physiological function of immunoglobulin E (IgE) is to protect against parasitic infestation. However, IgE is also associated with allergy, and allergen-specific IgE antibodies may trigger allergic reactions in the presence of the allergen. IgE is normally found in low amounts in serum/plasma but is significantly increased in allergic individuals, and the detection of allergen-specific IgE serves as the basis for many in vitro assays for allergy diagnosis.
