The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to SOST. Sta-n-dards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific for SOST a-n-d Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well a-n-d incubated. Then a TMB (3,3',5,5' tetramethyl-benzidine) substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain SOST, biotin-conjugated antibody a-n-d enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution a-n-d the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The concentration of SOST in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the sta-n-dard curve.

1.56 pg/ml-100 pg/ml. The sta-n-dard curve concentrations used for the ELISA’s were 100 pg/ml, 50 pg/ml, 25 pg/ml, 12.5 pg/ml,

6.25 pg/ml, 3.12 pg/ml, 1.56 pg/ml.

This assay recognizes human SOST. No significant

cross-reactivity or interference was observed.

The minimum detectable dose of human SOST is typically less

than 0.4 pg/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.

1.    Unopened test kits should be stored at 2-8C upon receipt a-n-d the microtiter plate should be kept in a sealed bag. The test kit may be used throughout the expiration date of the kit, provided it is stored as prescribed above. Refer to the package label for the expiration date.

2.    Opened test plate should be stored at 2-8C in the aluminum foil bag with desiccants to minimize exposure to damp air. The kits will remain stable until the expiring date shown, provided it is stored as prescribed above.

3.    A microtiter plate reader with a ba-n-dwidth of 10 nm or less a-n-d an optical density range of 0-3 OD or greater at 450nm wavelength is acceptable for use in absorbance measurement.

 

1         Wash Buffer If crystals have formed in the concentrate, warm up to room temperature a-n-d mix gently until the crystals have compley dissolved. Dilute 20 ml of Wash Buffer Concentrate into deionized or distilled water to prepare 500 ml of Wash Buffer.

2         Sta-n-dard Centrifuge the sta-n-dard vial at 6000-10000rpm for 30s. Reconstitute the Sta-n-dard with 1.0 ml of Sample Diluent. This reconstitution produces a stock solution of 100 pg/ml. Allow the sta-n-dard to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes with gentle agitation prior to making serial dilutions. The undiluted sta-n-dard serves as the high sta-n-dard (100 pg/ml). The Sample Diluent serves as the zero sta-n-dard (0 pg/ml). Prepare fresh for each assay. Use within 4 hours a-n-d discard after use.

3         Biotin-antibody Centrifuge the vial before opening. Dilute to the working concentration using Biotin-antibody Diluent(1:100), respectively.

4         HRP-avidin Centrifuge the vial before opening. Dilute to the working concentration using HRP-avidin Diluent(1:100), respectively.

 

1          Microplate reader capable of measuring absorbance at 450 nm, with the correction wavelength set at 540 nm or 570 nm.

2          Pipettes a-n-d pipette tips.

3          Deionized or distilled water.

4          Squirt bottle, manifold dispenser, or automated microplate washer.

5          An incubator which can provide stable incubation conditions up to 37°C±0.5°C.

 

Serum Use a serum separator tube (SST) a-n-d allow samples to clot for 30 minutes before centrifugation for 15 minutes at 1000 g. Remove serum a-n-d assay immediay or aliquot a-n-d store samples at -20°C. Centrifuge the sample again after thawing before the assay. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Plasma Collect plasma using citrate, EDTA, or heparin as an anticoagulant. Centrifuge for 15 minutes at 1000 g within 30 minutes of collection. Assay immediay or aliquot a-n-d store samples at -20°C. Centrifuge the sample again after thawing before the assay. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

 

1         Serum a-n-d plasma samples require a 100-fold dilution into Sample Diluent . The suggested 100-fold dilution can be achieved by adding 10μl sample to 40μl of Sample Diluent. Complete the 100-fold dilution by adding 15μl of this solution to 285μl of Sample Diluent. The recommended dilution factor is for reference only. The optimal dilution factor should be determined by users according to their particular experiments.

2         Add 100μl of Sta-n-dard, Blank, or diluted Sample per well. Cover with the adhesive strip. Incubate for 2 hours at 37°C.

3         Remove the liquid of each well, don’t wash.

4         Add 100μl of Biotin-antibody working solution to each well. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C. Biotin-antibody working solution may appear cloudy. Warm up to room temperature a-n-d mix gently until solution appears uniform.

5         Aspirate each well a-n-d wash, repeating the process three times for a total of three washes. Wash: Fill each well with Wash Buffer (200μl) a-n-d let it sta-n-d for 2 minutes, then remove the liquid by flicking the plate over a sink. The remaining drops are removed by patting the plate on a paper towel. Complete removal of liquid at each step is essential to good performance.

6         Add 100μl of HRP-avidin working solution to each well. Cover the microtiter plate with a new adhesive strip. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C.

7         Repeat the aspiration a-n-d wash five times as step 5.

8         Add 90μl of TMB Substrate to each well. Incubate for 10-30 minutes at 37°C. Keeping the plate away from drafts a-n-d other temperature fluctuations in the dark.

9         Add 50μl of Stop Solution to each well when the first four wells containing the highest concentration of sta-n-dards develop obvious blue color. If color change does not appear uniform, gently tap the plate to ensure thorough mixing.

 

10.Determine the optical density of each well within 30 minutes, using a microplate reader set to 450 nm.

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

1          The kit should not be used beyond the expiration date on the kit label.

2          Do not mix or substitute reagents with those from other lots or sources.

3          It is important that the Sta-n-dard Diluent selected for the sta-n-dard curve be consistent with the samples being assayed.

4          If samples generate values higher than the highest sta-n-dard, dilute the samples with the appropriate Sta-n-dard Diluent a-n-d repeat the assay.

5          Any variation in Sta-n-dard Diluent, operator, pipetting technique, washing technique, incubation time or temperature, a-n-d kit age can cause variation in binding.

6          This assay is designed to eliminate interference by soluble receptors, binding proteins, a-n-d other factors present in biological samples. Until all factors have been tested in the Immunoassay, the possibility of interference cannot be excluded.

 

1          Centrifuge vials before opening to collect contents.

2          When mixing or reconstituting protein solutions, always avoid foaming.

3          To avoid cross-contamination, change pipette tips between additions of each sta-n-dard level, between sample additions, a-n-d between reagent additions. Also, use separate reservoirs for each reagent.

4          When using an automated plate washer, adding a 30 second soak period following the addition of wash buffer, a-n-d/or rotating the plate 180 degrees between wash steps may improve assay precision.

5          To ensure accurate results, proper adhesion of plate sealers during incubation steps is necessary.

6          Substrate Solution should remain colorless or light blue until added to the plate. Keep Substrate Solution protected from light. Substrate Solution should change from colorless or light blue to gradations of blue.

7          Stop Solution should be added to the plate in the same order as the Substrate Solution. The color developed in the wells will turn from blue to yellow upon addition of the Stop Solution. Wells that are green in color indicate that the Stop Solution has not mixed thoroughly with the Substrate Solution.
