Create your own quantitative kit for a low-abundance protein with your on-hand antibodies! TN-cyclon™ ELISA Development Kit

Date:February 17 2026Web Page No:520122

This kit is for developing a detection kit of an ultra-low-abundant protein with a combination of your matched-pair antibodies and a corresponding antigen by Improved Enzyme Cycling Method (TN-cyclon™ technology). The kit allows you to detect and quantify your targeted low-abundant protein without large and expensive dedicated equipment.

* High sensitivity measurement cannot always be guaranteed depending on the combination of antibodies and antigens, antibody reactivity, epitope relationship, etc.
*PD-L1 TN-cyclonTM ELISA Kit is also available. This kit is validated to quantify human PD-L1 in serum or exosome-containing samples. For more details, click here!
* This product is for research use only.


Short movie of TN-cyclon™ (improved enzyme cycling method)

What is improved enzyme cycling method (TN-cyclon™)?

The improved enzyme cycling method (TN-cyclon™) is a unique protein detection technology developed by BioPhenoMA that combines sandwich ELISA and enzyme cycling methods. This technology enables more sensitive detection than conventional sandwich ELISAs.

Principle

In this method, the ELISA method is used as the first reaction to sandwich an antigen by capture and detection antibodies. The detection antibody is labeled with Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and works with A3P which is a unique BioPhenoMA’s ALP substrate. Conventional ELISAs quantify the amount of antigen by measurement of the reaction product (shown as A3 in the figure below). In contrast, the initial reaction product is used as the next substrate of the cycling reaction in the improved enzyme cycling method (TN-cyclon™). In the cycling reaction, A3’ is generated by dehydrogenation (oxidation) of A3P and A3 that is the reaction product with ALP by 3α-hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase (3α-HSD). In addition, the reverse reaction also occurs repeatedly. As the cycling reaction proceeds, the coenzymes thio-NAD and NADH are consumed and the by-products from the consumption, thio-NADH and NAD, are accumulated. Maximum absorbance of this thio-NADH is 405 nm and measurement of the wavelength change of the maximum absorbance enable to estimate the original concentration of the antigen.
The amplification method allows to measure the amount of an ultra-low-abundant antigen that is lower than detection limit by sensitivity of the conventional ELISA.

Assay example

The experimental results were obtained according to the assay protocol described in the user manual. The data were provided by BioPhenoMA.
* Obtained results and values by the kit may not necessarily be the same as the examples below because the measurement results may differ depending on the selected antibodies and antigens.

Standard curve

The left graph shows the calibration curve of the standard PD-L1 concentrations (pg/ml) obtained from the absorbance data (405 nm (Δ0min)). The right table shows the absorbance and the coefficient of variation (CV) data of each PD-L1 concentration.
Measurement wavelength : 405 nm (Primary Wavelength), 660 nm (Secondary Wavelength), Measurement time: 60 min

Limit of detection

The limit of detection, calculated using the standard deviation (SD) of the blank absorbance (3SD applied) and the slope of the calibration curve, was below 0.2 pg/mL (0.154 pg/mL in the example above).


Spike and recovery test (PD-L1 in serum)

PD-L1 with a known concentration (100pg/ml) was added to serum samples and the recovery rate of it was calculated.
* The serum samples were diluted 100 fold before use in Sample Diluent.
