Reagent Preparation
1.Bring all reagents to room temperature (18-25 °C) before use.
2.Wash Buffer: Dilute 30 mL of Concentrated Wash Buffer with 720 mL of deionized or distilled water to prepare 750 mL of Wash Buffer.
3.Standard working solution: Add 1.0 mL of Reference Standard &Sample Diluent, let it stand for 10 min and invert it gently several times. After it dissolves fully, mix it thoroughly with a pipette. This reconstitution produces a working solution of 200pg/mL.
4.Biotinylated Detection Ab working solution: Centrifuge the Concentrated Biotinylated Detection Ab at 800xg for 1 min, then dilute the 100x Concentrated Biotinylated Detection Ab to 1x working solution with Biotinylated Detection Ab Diluent.
5.HRP Conjugate working solution: Calculate the required amount before the experiment.
Assay Procedure
1.Add 100µL of standard or sample per well. Cover with the adhesive strip provided. Incubate for 2 hours at 37°C.
2.Remove the liquid of each well, don't wash.
3.Add 100µL of Biotin-antibody (1×) to each well. Cover with a new adhesive strip. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C.
4.Aspirate each well and wash, repeating the process two times for a total of three washes.After the last wash, remove any remaining wash Buffer by aspirating or decanting. Invert the plate and blot it against clean paper towels.
5.Add 100µL of HRP-avidin (1×) to each well. Cover the microtiter plate with a new adhesive strip. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C.
6.Repeat the aspiration/wash process for five times as in step 6.
7.Add 90µL of TMB Substrate to each well. Incubate for 20 minutes at 37°C. Protect from light.
8.Add 50µL of Stop Solution to each well, gently tap the plate to ensure thorough mixing.
9.Determine the optical density of each well within 5 minutes using a microplate reader set to 450nm.
Calculation of Results
Average the duplicate readings for each standard, control, and sample and subtract the average zero standard optical density. Create a standard curve by reducing the data using computer software capable of generating a four parameter logistic (4-PL) curve-fit.
Precaution of Use
The Stop Solution suggested for use with this kit is an acid solution. Wear eye, hand, face, and clothing protection when using this material.
