Détail du produit ACE2 Kit ELISA

Antigène: ACE2 (Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2))

Reactivité: Rat

Méthode de détection: Colorimetric

Type de méthode: Sandwich ELISA

Gamme de detection: 0.625-40 ng/mL

Seuil minimal de détection: 0.625 ng/mL

Application: ELISA

Fonction: This ELISA kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of rat ACE2 in serum, plasma and other biological fluids.

Analytical Method: Quantitative

Specificité: This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of rat ACE2. No significant cross- reactivity or interference was observed.

Sensibilité: The minimum detectable dose of rat ACE2 is typically less than 0.185 ng/mL.
The Sensitivity of this assay, or Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) was defined as the lowest protein concentration that could be differentiated from zero. It was determined the mean O.D. value of 20 replicates of the zero calibrator plus three standard deviations.

Attributs du produit: The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to ACE2. Calibrators or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated polyclonal antibody preparation specific for ACE2. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Then a TMB substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain ACE2, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulfuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. The concentration of ACE2 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the calibration curve.

Information d'application

Commentaires:

The calibration curve concentrations used for the ELISA's were 40, 20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625 ng/mL.

Plaque: Pre-coated

Procédure de l'essai:

Please predict the concentration before assaying. If values for these are not within the range of the calibration curve, users must determine the optimal sample dilutions for their particular experiments.
1. Determine wells for diluted calibrator, blank and sample. Prepare 7 wells for calibrator, 1 well for blank. Add 100 µL each of dilutions of calibrator (see Reagent Preparation), blank and samples into the appropriate wells. Cover with the Plate sealer. Incubate for 2 hours at 37° C.
2. Remove the liquid of each well, don't wash.
3. Add 100 µL of Detection Reagent A working solution to each well. Incubate for 1 hour at 37° C after covering it with the Plate sealer.
4. Aspirate the solution and wash with 350 µL of 1X Wash Solution to each well using a squirt bottle, multi-channel pipette, manifold dispenser or autowasher, and let it sit for 1~2 minutes. Remove the remaining liquid from all wells completely by snapping the plate onto absorbent paper. Repeat 3 times. After the last wash, remove any remaining Wash Buffer by aspirating or decanting. Invert the plate and blot it against absorbent paper.
5. Add 100 µL of Detection Reagent B working solution to each well. Incubate for 30 minutes at 37° C after covering it with the Plate sealer.
6. Repeat the aspiration/wash process for five times as conducted in step 4.
7. Add 90 µL of Substrate Solution to each well. Cover with a new Plate sealer. Incubate for 20
25 minutes at 37° C. Protect from light. The liquid will turn blue by the addition of Substrate Solution.
8. Add 50 µL of Stop Solution to each well. The liquid will turn yellow by the addition of Stop solution. Mix the liquid by tapping the side of the plate. If color change does not appear uniform, gently tap the plate to ensure thorough mixing.
9. Remove any drop of water and fingerprint on the bottom of the plate and confirm there is no bubble on the surface of the liquid. Then, run the microplate reader and conduct measurement at 450 nm immediately.

Note:
1. Assay preparation: Keep appropriate numbers of strips for 1 experiment and remove extra strips from microtiter plate. Removed strips should be resealed and stored at -20°C until the kit expiration date.
2. Samples or reagents addition: Please use the freshly prepared Calibrator. Please carefully add samples to wells and mix gently to avoid foaming. Do not touch the well walls if possible. For each step in the procedure, total dispensing time for addition of reagents or samples to the assay plate should not exceed 10 minutes. This will ensure equal elapsed time for each pipetting step, without interruption. Duplication of all calibrators and specimens, although not required, is recommended. To avoid cross-contamination, change pipette tips between additions of each calibrator level, between sample additions, and between reagent additions. Also, use separate reservoirs for each reagent.
3. Incubation: To ensure accurate results, proper adhesion of plate sealers during incubation steps is necessary. Do not allow wells to sit uncovered for extended periods between incubation steps. Once reagents have been added to the well strips, DO NOT let the strips DRY at any time during the assay. Incubation time and temperature must be observed.
4. Washing: The wash procedure is critical. Complete removal of liquid at each step is essential to good performance. After the last wash, remove any remaining Wash Solution by aspirating or decanting and remove any drop of water and fingerprint on the bottom of the plate. Insufficient washing will result in poor precision and falsely elevated absorbance reading.
5. Controlling of reaction time: Observe the change of color after adding TMB Substrate (e.g. observation once every 10 minutes), if the color is too deep, add Stop Solution in advance to avoid excessively strong reaction which will result in inaccurate absorbance reading.
6. TMB Substrate is easily contaminated. Please protect it from light.

Calcul des résultats:

Average the duplicate readings for each calibrator, control, and samples and subtract the average zero calibrator optical density. Create a calibration curve by reducing the data using computer software capable of generating a four parameter logistic (4-PL) curve-fit. As an alternative, construct a calibration curve by plotting the mean absorbance for each calibrator on the x-axis against the concentration on the y-axis and draw a best fit curve through the points on the graph. The data may be linearized by plotting the log of the ACE2 concentrations versus the log of the O.D. and the best fit line can be determined by regression analysis. It is recommended to use some related software to do this calculation. This procedure will produce an adequate but less precise fit of the data. If samples have been diluted, the concentration read from the calibration curve must be multiplied by the dilution factor.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Stockage

Stock: -20 °C

Stockage commentaire: All the reagents should be kept according to the labels on vials. The Calibrator, Detection Reagent A, Detection Reagent B and the 96-well strip plate should be stored at -20° C upon receipt. The unused strips should be kept in a sealed bag with the desiccant provided to minimize exposure to damp air. Opened test kits will remain stable until the expiration date shown, provided it is stored as prescribed above.

Date de péremption: The expiry date is stated on the label.
