1.Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature (18 - 25°C) before use.
2.Sample dilution.
3.Assay Diluent B (Item E) should be diluted 5-fold with deionized or distilled water before use.
4.Preparation of standard.
5.Dilute 20 ml of Wash Buffer Concentrate into deionized or distilled water to yield 400 ml of 1x Wash Buffer.
6.Briefly spin the Detection Antibody vial (Item F) before use. Add 100 µl of 1x Assay Diluent B (Item E) into the vial to prepare a detection antibody concentrate.
7.Briefly spin the HRP-Streptavidin concentrate vial (Item G) and pipette up and down to mix gently before use. HRP-Streptavidin concentrate should be diluted 10,000-fold with 1x Assay Diluent B (Item E).

1.Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature (18 - 25°C) before use.
2.Add 100 µl of each standard and sample into appropriate wells. Cover well and incubate for 2.5 hours at room temperature or over night at 4°C with gentle shaking.
3.Discard the solution and wash 4 times with 1x Wash Solution.
4.Add 100 µl of 1x prepared biotinylated antibody to each well. Incubate for 1 hour at room temperature with gentle shaking.
5.Discard the solution. Repeat the wash as in step 3.
6.Add 100 µl of prepared Streptavidin solution to each well. Incubate for 45 minutes at room temperature with gentle shaking.
7.Discard the solution. Repeat the wash as in step 3.
8.Add 100 µl of TMB One-Step Substrate Reagent to each well. Incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature in the dark with gentle shaking.
9.Add 50 µl of Stop Solution to each well. Read at 450 nm immediately.

Calculate the mean absorbance for each set of duplicate standards, controls and samples, and subtract the average zero standard optical density. Plot the standard curve on log-log graph paper or using Sigma plot software, with standard concentration on the x-axis and absorbance on the y-axis. Draw the best-fit straight line through the standard points.
