Product Overview
Caffeine is a type of alkaloid found in coffee beans and tea leaves. It induces wakefulness and has an excitatory effect through the competitive inhibition of adenosine receptors. Caffeine is also known to have various physiological effects, including vasoconstrictive, cardiotonic, and diuretic effects, as well as promoting gastric secretion. Reports have shown that blood caffeine can be a useful biomarker for Parkinson's disease,1) and that caffeine has protective effects against Parkinson's disease.2) Therefore, it is attracting attention in the field of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Caffeine is mainly measured by LC-MS/MS or HPLC, but the assay of caffeine used to include the need for expensive analytical equipment and complicated pretreatment. Fujifilm Wako has developed an ELISA kit that can measure the concentration of caffeine in human saliva, serum or plasma and mouse/rat serum or plasma.
Features
- Not need for expensive analytical equipment like LC-MS/MS and HPLC
- Easy-to-use pretreatment
- Can be used to measure caffeine in human saliva, serum or plasma and mouse/rat serum or plasma.
Assay Principle
This kit is based on a competitive assay, and absorbance intensity decreases as the amount of caffeine in the sample increases.

FAQ
About sample
- How should samples be stored?
- For long-term storage of samples, freezing at -35°C or below is recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Frozen samples should be thawed just before the assay and thoroughly mixed. For saliva samples, assay results did not change significantly after storage at room temperature for 6 hours, in a refrigerator for 24 hours at -20°C and -80°C for 1 month. (Fluctuations in room temperature were within ±10% of the temperature at hour 0.) Fujifilm Wako has also observed that assay results did not change significantly within five cycles of freezing and thawing.
- What is the recommended method of collection of saliva samples?
- The passive drool method is recommended for the collection of saliva samples. (the passive drool method requires subjects to salivate into a vial or tube.) It has been confirmed that samples collected using cotton swabs or inert polymer swabs can be used similarly to samples collected by the passive drool method. However, caution should be taken because some swab materials may absorb target analytes.
