Instruction manual
Material not included
Microplate reader capable of measuring absorbance at 450nm, with the correction wavelength set at 540nm or 570nm.
An incubator which can provide stable incubation conditions up to 37°C ± 0.5°C.
Squirt bottle, manifold dispenser or automated microplate washer.
Absorbent paper for blotting the microtiter plate.
100mL and 500mL graduated cylinders.
Deionized or distilled water.
Pipettes and pipette tips.
Test tubes for dilution.
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.
Assay Precision
Intra-assay precision (precision within an assay): Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess precision.
Inter-assay precision (precision between assays): Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty assays to assess precision.
Intra-assay: CV% less than 8%
Inter-assay: CV% less than 10%
Precaution of Use
The Stop Solution provided with this kit is an acid solution. Wear eye, hand, face and clothing protection when using this material.
Handling Advice
The kit should not be used beyond the expiration date on the kit label.
Do not mix or substitute reagents with those from other lots or sources.
If samples generate values higher than the highest standard, dilute the samples with Sample Diluent and repeat the assay.
Any variation in Sample Diluent, operator, pipetting technique, washing technique, incubation time/temperature and kit age can cause variation in binding.
This assay is designed to eliminate interference by soluble receptors, binding proteins and other factors present in biological samples. Until all factors have been tested in the Immunoassay, the possibility of interference cannot be excluded.
Storage Comment
May be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 month. For long term storage, please store at -20°C. Try to keep assay plate in a sealed aluminium foil bag and avoid dampness.
