Reagent Preparation
Wash Buffer - If crystals have formed in the concentrate, warm to room temperature and mix gently until the crystals have completely dissolved. Dilute 30 mL of Wash Buffer Concentrate into deionized or distilled water to prepare 750 mL of Wash Buffer.
Standard - Reconstitute the Standard with 1.0 mL of Sample Diluent. This reconstitution produces a stock solution of 200 umol/L. Allow the standard to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes with gentle agitation prior to making serial dilution. The undiluted standard serves as the high standard (200 umol/L). The Sample Diluent serves as the zero standard (0 umol/L).
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.
