Principles of sample dilution

If your test sample needs to be diluted, refer to the general dilution principles below:

1. Dilution 50 Times: One-step dilution.
Take 5 μL Sample to 245 μL Standard & In the sample dilution, is 50 Double dilution;

2. Dilution 100 Times: One-step dilution.
Take 5 μL Sample to 495 μL Standard & In the sample dilution, is 100 Double dilution;

3. Dilution 1000 Times: Two-step dilution.
Take 5 μL Sample to 95 μL Standard & In the sample dilution, is 20 Dilute, and then take 5 μL 20 Double dilute sample to 245 μL Standard & In the sample dilution, is 50 Double dilution, co-dilution 1000 Times;

4. Dilution 100000 Times: Three-step dilution.
Take 5 μL Sample to 195 μL Standard & In the sample dilution, is 40 Dilute, and then take 5 μL 40 Double dilute sample to 245 μL Standard & In the sample diluent, do 50 Time dilution, and finally take 5 μL 2000 Double dilute sample to 245 μL Standard & In the sample diluent, do 50 Double dilution, total dilution 100000 Times;

5. The amount of liquid taken during each dilution step is not less than 3 μL , the dilution factor is not more than 100 Times.
Too small sampling volume can easily cause greater errors in the mixing process, and each step of dilution needs to be mixed evenly to avoid foaming.

6. When the dilution factor is very high, you can use it first PBS Dilution, last step using standard in kit & Sample dilution.

Sample dilution recommendations

1. Normal fresh serum / Plasma Sample Recommendation (Original solution) Testing.

Preparation before the experiment

1. All materials and prepared reagents were equilibrated to room temperature prior to use.
Before use, mix all reagents thoroughly, taking care not to create any foam.

2. The user should calculate the number of samples that may be used throughout the trial.
Please reserve enough samples in advance.

3. Please estimate the concentration before measurement.
If these values are not within the standard curve range, the user must determine the optimal sample dilution for their particular experiment.

Operation steps

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

2. Add standard or sample to be tested 100 μL (If the sample needs to be diluted, please refer to the sample dilution principle for the dilution method).
Be careful not to have bubbles.
When adding the sample, add the sample to the bottom of the well of the enzyme label plate, try not to touch the well wall, gently shake and mix well, and add the enzyme label plate.
Cover or coating, 37°C incubation 80 Minutes.
To ensure the validity of the experimental results, please use a new standard solution for each experiment.

3. Discard the liquid in the hole, spin dry, wash the plate 3 Times.
For each well 200 μL Washing with washing solution, soaking 1-2 Minutes, shake off the liquid in the labeled plate (or wash the plate with a plate washer).
After the last wash was complete, the plate was pat dry on absorbent paper.

4. Add biotin antibody working solution per well 100μL (can be advanced 15 Preparation in minutes), the enzyme labeled plate is coated, 37°C incubation 50 Minutes.

5. Discard the liquid in the well and wash the plate 3 Times.
For each well 200μL Washing with washing solution, soaking 1-2 Minutes, shake off the liquid in the labeled plate (or wash the plate with a plate washer).
After the last wash was complete, the plate was pat dry on absorbent paper.

6. Add enzyme conjugate working solution per well 100 μL (can be advanced 15 Minute preparation), 37°C incubation 50 Minutes.    

7. Discard the liquid in the well and wash the plate 5 Times.
For each well 200 μL Washing with washing solution, soaking 1-2 Minutes, shake off the liquid in the labeled plate (or wash the plate with a plate washer).
After the last wash was complete, the plate was pat dry on absorbent paper.

8. Add per well TMB Chromogenic substrate solution 90 μL ， 37°C Incubate in the dark 20 Minutes (shortened or extended as appropriate according to the actual color development, but not exceeding 30 Minutes).

9. Add stop solution to each well 50 μL , terminate the reaction (blue immediately turns yellow at this time).
The sequence of addition of the terminating solution should be the same as that of the developer 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.

10. Immediately use a microplate reader in 450 nm The optical density values of each well were measured at the wavelength ( OD Value).
The instrument should be preheated before use, and the testing program should be set up.

Results Calculation

1. Of each standard and sample OD Value should be subtracted from the blank hole OD Value.
If a double hole is set, the average value should be taken for calculation.

2. For ease of calculation, although the concentration is an independent variable and OD The value is the dependent variable, and we still use the standard when drawing OD Values as abscissa ( X Axis), the concentration of the standard is the ordinate ( Y Axis).
At the same time, for the intuition of the test results, the figure provides raw data instead of logarithmic values.
Due to the different experimental operating conditions (such as operator, pipetting technology, plate washing technology and temperature conditions, etc.), the standard curve OD Values will vary.
The standard curve provided is for reference only, and the experimenter needs to establish the standard curve according to his own experiment.
Spent sample OD The value can be calculated on the standard curve to calculate the sample concentration and multiply it 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 。

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 the biotinylated antibody. The volume of the concentrated enzyme conjugate is small 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, biotinylated antibody 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.
