1. Serum: Whole blood samples were placed at room temperature for 2 hours or 4 °C overnight, then centrifuged at 1000 × g for 20 minutes, and the supernatant was taken for detection.
   The blood collection tubes shall be disposable non-pyrogenic, non-endotoxin tubes.
   Store at-20 °C or-80 °C, avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
2. Plasma: The sample was centrifuged at 2-8 °C and 1000 × g for 15 minutes within 30 minutes after collection, and the supernatant was taken for detection.
   EDTA-Na is recommended for anticoagulants₂, avoid using hemolytic, hyperlipidemic samples.
   Store at-20 °C or-80 °C, avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
3. Tissue homogenate: Take an appropriate amount of tissue block, wash and remove blood in pre-cooled PBS (01M, pH 7.0-7.2) (the lysed red blood cells in the homogenate will affect the measurement results), cut the tissue into pieces after weighing, and then add it with the corresponding volume of PBS (generally according to the mass-volume ratio of 1: 9, the specific volume can be appropriately adjusted according to the experimental needs, and make a record.
   It is recommended to add protease inhibitors to PBS) into a glass homogenizer and fully ground on ice;
   In order to further lyse tissue cells, the homogenate can be subjected to ultrasonic disruption or repeated freeze-thaw treatment (pay attention to ice bath cooling during ultrasonic disruption, and the repeated freeze-thaw method can be repeated twice).
   Finally, centrifuge the prepared homogenate at 5000 × g for 5-10 minutes, and take the supernatant for detection.
4. Cell culture supernatant: The cell supernatant was centrifuged at 1000 × g for 20 minutes to remove impurities and cell debris.
   Take the supernatant for detection and store at-20 °C or-80 °C, but avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
5. Urine: Please collect the first urine (middle urine) in the morning, or 24-hour urine, collect the supernatant after centrifugation at 2000 × g for 15 minutes, and store the sample at-20 °C, and avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
6. Saliva: Collect the sample with a saliva sample collection tube, then centrifuge it at 2-8 °C, 1000 × g for 15 minutes, take the supernatant for detection, or store it at-20 °C after subpackaging.
   Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
7. Other biological samples: Please centrifuge at 1000 × g for 20 minutes, and take the supernatant for detection.

Notes

1. The sample should be clear and transparent, and the suspended solids should be removed by centrifugation.
   Hemolysis of the sample will affect the results, so hemolyzed samples should not be used.
2. If the sample is tested within 1 week after collection, it can be stored at 4 °C.
   If the sample cannot be tested in time, please divide it into one-time package and freeze it at-20 °C (test within 1 month) or-80 °C (test within 3-6 months) to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
   Keep the sample at room temperature prior to the experiment.
3. If the concentration of the detected substance in your sample is higher than the highest value of the standard, please make an appropriate dilution according to the actual situation (it is recommended to do a pre-experiment first to determine the dilution factor).

Two,Preparation for testing

1. Please remove the kit from the refrigerator 30 minutes in advance and equilibrate to room temperature.

2. Dilute 25 × concentrated washing solution to 1 × working solution with double distilled water, and return the unused solution to 4 ° C.

3. Standard: Add 1.0 mL of standard & sample universal diluent to the freeze-dried standard, tighten the tube cap, and let it stand for 10 minutes.
After it is fully dissolved, gently mix (concentration is 1000 pg/mL).
Thereafter, double dilutions were performed to 1000 pg/mL, 500 pg/mL, 250 pg/mL, 125 pg/mL, 62.5 pg/mL, 31.25 pg/mL, 15.63 pg/mL.
The standard dilution (0 pg/mL) is a blank well.
Configure the standard according to the amount you need for later use.
It is recommended to add the configured standard within 15 minutes, and it is not recommended to leave it for too long.

4. Biotin conjugate working solution (1x): centrifuge before opening the bottle.
Dilute with biotin conjugate diluent before use.
Before dilution, prepare according to the pre-calculated total amount required for each experiment (50μL per well).
In actual preparation, an additional 0.1-0.2 mL should be prepared.
For example, it is prepared in the ratio of 10 μL biotin conjugate plus 990 μL biotin conjugate diluent, gently mix and prepare within one hour before use.

5. Streptomycin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate working solution (1x): centrifuge before opening the bottle.
Dilute with enzyme conjugate diluent before use.
Before dilution, prepare according to the pre-calculated total amount required for each experiment (100μL per well).
In actual preparation, an additional 0.1-0.2 mL should be prepared.
For example, it is prepared in the ratio of 10μL of enzyme conjugate plus 990μL of enzyme conjugate dilution, gently mix and prepare within one hour before use.

6. TMB Substrate-Use a pipette to draw the required dose of solution, and do not pour the residual solution back into the reagent bottle again.

attention：

1. Please make sure that all components are dissolved and mixed before using the kit.
If the reconstituted standard is not used, please discard it.

2. Concentrate biotin conjugate.
The concentrated enzyme conjugate is small in volume and may be dispersed in various parts of the tube during transportation.
Please centrifuge at 1000 × g for 1 minute before use, so that the liquid on the tube wall or bottle cap can be deposited to the bottom of the tube.
Mix the solution by carefully pipetting 4-5 times with a pipette before taking.
Standard, biotin conjugate working solution and enzyme conjugate working solution should be prepared according to the required dosage, and the corresponding diluent should be used to prepare without confusion.

3. The concentrated washing liquid taken out of the refrigerator may have crystals, which is a normal phenomenon.
The crystals can be completely dissolved in a water bath or incubator before preparing the washing liquid (the heating temperature should not exceed 40 °C).
The wash liquid should be at room temperature when used.

4. Sample addition needs to be quick, and it is best to control each sample addition within 10 minutes.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the experiment, it is recommended to use double holes.
Maintaining a consistent sequence of addition from well to well when pipetting reagents will ensure the same incubation time for all wells.

5. During the washing process, the washing liquid remaining in the reaction hole should be patted dry on absorbent paper.
Do not put the filter paper directly into the reaction hole to absorb water.
Before reading, pay attention to removing the residual liquid and fingerprints at the bottom, so as not to affect the reading of the microplate reader.

6. The developer TMB should avoid direct exposure to strong light during storage and use.
After adding the substrate, pay attention to the color change in the reaction well.
If the gradient is obvious, please terminate the reaction in advance to avoid too dark color affecting the reading of the microplate reader.

7. The test tubes and reagents used during the experiment are disposable, and it is strictly forbidden to reuse them, otherwise the experimental results will be affected.

8. Please wear a laboratory coat and latex gloves for protection during the experiment, especially when testing blood or other body fluid samples, please follow the national biological laboratory safety protection regulations.

9. Kit components of different batch numbers cannot be mixed (except washing solution and reaction stop solution).

10. The enzyme labeling strip in the kit is a detachable plate, please use it in batches according to the experimental requirements.

Three,Operation steps

1. Before the experiment starts, all reagents should be balanced to room temperature, and all reagents should be configured in advance.
When reagents or samples are diluted, they should be mixed evenly, and foaming should be avoided as much as possible when mixing evenly.
If the sample concentration is too high, dilute with a sample diluent to bring the sample within the range of the kit.

2. Sample addition: Set up standard holes and sample holes to be tested respectively.
Add 50μL of standard substance or sample to be tested, be careful not to have air bubbles, add the sample to the bottom of the well of the labeled plate, try not to touch the well wall, then add 50μL of biotin conjugate (1 x) to each well, gently shake and mix well, cover or coat the labeled plate, and incubate at 37 °C for 1 hour.

3. To ensure the validity of the experimental results, please use a new standard solution for each experiment.

4. After incubation for 1 hour, discard the liquid in the well, spin dry, wash the plate three times, add 200 μL of washing solution (1 x) to each well, soak for 1-2 minutes each time, and spin dry.

5. Then add 100 μL of streptomycin-HRP (1 ×) to each well, shake gently and mix well, cover or coat the plate, and incubate at 37 ° C. for 1 hour.

6. Discard the liquid in the well, spin dry, wash the plate 5 times, add 200μL of washing solution (1 x) to each well, soak for 1-2 minutes each time, and spin dry.

7. Add 90μL of TMB color developer to each well sequentially, protect the color from light at 37 °C for 15-20 minutes (shorten or extend as appropriate according to the actual color development situation, but not exceed 30 minutes).

8. Add 50μL of stop solution to each well sequentially to stop the reaction (blue turns yellow immediately at this time).
The sequence of addition of the stop solution should be the same as that of the substrate solution as possible.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the experimental results, the termination solution should be added as soon as possible after the substrate reaction time expires.

9. The optical density (OD value) of each well was measured sequentially with a microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm.
Test within 5 minutes after addition of the stop solution.

10. * Samples may require dilution.
Please see the sample processing section.

 
Four,Results Calculation

1. The OD values of competition law standards and samples can be directly substituted into the calculation.
If a double hole is set, the average value should be taken for calculation.

2. For the convenience of calculation, although the concentration is the independent variable and the OD value is the dependent variable, we still use the OD value of the standard product as the abscissa (X-axis) and the concentration of the standard product as the ordinate (Y-axis) when drawing.
At the same time, for the intuition of the test results, the figure provides raw data instead of logarithmic values.
Due to different experimental operating conditions (such as operator, pipetting technology, plate washing technology and temperature conditions, etc.), the OD value of the standard curve will be different.
The standard curve provided is for reference only, and the experimenter needs to establish the standard curve according to his own experiment.
The OD value of the used sample can be calculated on the standard curve to calculate the sample concentration, and then multiplied by the dilution factor, which is the actual concentration of the sample.
It is recommended to use professional curve drawing software such as curve expert.
