LSY-10014 Green Spring Salbutamol ELISA Detection Kit veterinary test

Salbutamol ELISA Test Kit

Catalog No. LSY-10014

1. Principle

The test kit is based on the competitive enzyme immunoassay for the detection of Salbutamol in the sample. The coupling antigen is pre-coated on the micro-well stripes. The Salbutamol in the sample and the coupling antigens pre-coated on the micro-well stripes compete for the anti-Salbutamol antibodies. After the addition of the enzyme conjugate, the TMB substrate is added for coloration. The optical density (OD) value of the sample has a negative correlation with the Salbutamol in it. This value is compared to the standard curve and the Salbutamol residues is subsequently obtained.

6. ELISA procedures

Instructions

• Bring all reagents and micro-well strips to the room temperature (20-25℃).
• Return all reagents to 2-8℃ immediately after use.
• The reproducibility of the ELISA analysis, to a large degree, depends on the consistency of

plate washing. The correct operation of plate washing is the key point in the procedures of ELISA.

• For the incubation at constant temperatures, all the samples and reagents must avoid light exposure, and each microplate should be sealed by the cover membrane.

Operation procedure

• Bring test kit to the room temperature (20-25 ℃) for at least 30 min, note that each reagent must be shaken evenly before use; put the required micro-well strips into plate frames. Re-sealed the unused microplate, stored at 2-8 ℃, not frozen;
• Solution preparation: dilute 40 mL of the concentrated washing buffer (20 × concentrated) with the deionized water at 1:19 (1 part 20X concentrated washing buffer + 19 parts deionized water), or prepare as needed.
• Numbering: number the micro-wells according to samples and standard solution; each sample and standard solution should be performed in duplicate; record their positions;
• Add 20 µL of the sample or the standard solution into separate duplicate wells, then add enzyme conjugate, 50 µL/well; and antibody working solution, 80 µL/well. Mix gently by shaking the plate manually, seal the microplate with the cover membrane, incubate at 25 ℃ for 30 min.;
• Pour the liquid out of microwell, wash the microplate with the diuluted washing buffer at 250 µL/well for four to five times. Each time soak the well with the washing buffer for 15-30 sec, flap to dry with absorbent paper (if there are the bubbles after flapping, cut them with the clean tips).
• Coloration: add 50 µL of substrate A solution and 50 µL B solution into each well. Mix gently by shaking the plate manually, and incubate at 25 ℃ for 15 min at dark for coloration;
• Determination: add 50 µL stop solution into each well. Mix gently by shaking the plate manually. Set the wavelength of the microplate reader at 450 nm to determine the OD value of every well. (Recommend to read the OD value at the dual-wavelength 450/630 nm within 5 min).

7. Result judgment

There are two methods to judge the results; the first one is the rough judgment, while the second is the quantitative determination. Note that the OD value of the sample has a negative correlation with Salbutamol concentration in the sample.

7.1 Qualitative determination

The concentration range (ng/mL) can be obtained from comparing the average OD value of the sample with that of the standard solution. Assuming that the OD value of the sample Ⅰ is 0.3, and that of the sample Ⅱ is 1.0, the OD value of standard solutions is: 2.243 for 0 ppb, 1.816 for 0.1 ppb, 1.415 for 0.3ppb, 0.74 for 0.9ppb, 0.313 for 2.7ppb, 0.155 for 8.1ppb, accordingly the concentration range of the sample Ⅰ is 2.7 to 8.1ppb, and that of the sample Ⅱ is 0.3 to 0.9ppb.

7.2 Quantitative determination

The mean values of the absorbance values obtained for the average OD value (B) of the sample and the standard solution divided by the OD value (B₀) of the first standard solution (0 standard) and subsequently multiplied by 100%, that is

B—the average (double wells) OD value of the sample or the standard solution

B₀—the average OD value of the 0ng/mL standard solution

Draw the standard curve with the absorption percentages of the standard solutions and the semilogarithm values of the Salbutamol standard solutions (ng/mL) as Y- and X-axis, respectively. Read the corresponding concentration of the sample from the standard curve by incorporating its absorption percentage into the standard curve. The resulting value is subsequently multiplied by the corresponding dilution fold, finally obtaining the Salbutamol concentration in the sample.

Using the professional analyzing software of this kit will be more convenient for the accurate and rapid analysis of a large amount of samples. (Please contact us for this software)

8. Precautions

• The room temperature below 25 ℃ or the temperature of the reagents and the samples being not returned to the room temperature (20-25 ℃) will lead to a lower standard OD value.
• Dryness of the microplate in the washing process will be accompanied by the situations including the non-linear standard curves and the undesirable reproducibility; So continue to next step immediately after washing.
• Mix evenly, otherwise there will be the undesirable reproducibility.
• The stop solution is the 2 M sulfuric acid solution, avoid contacting with the skin.
• Do not use the kit exceeding its expiry date. The use of diluted or adulterated reagents from the kits will lead to the changes in the sensitivity and the detecting OD values. Do not exchange the reagents from the kits of different lot numbers to use.
• Put the unused microplate into an auto-sealing bag to re-seal it. The standard substance and the colourless color former is light sensitive, and thus they cannot be directly exposed to the light.
• Discard the colouration solution with any color that indicates the degeneration of this solution. The detecting value of the 0 standard solution (0 ppb) of less than 0.5 indicates its degeneration.
• The optimum reaction temperature is 25 ℃, and too high or too low temperatures will result in the changes in the detecting sensitivity and OD values.
