  1. Preparation of the Standard: Set 10 Standard wells on the ELISA plates coated,label ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥ ⑦ ⑧ ⑨ ⑩ . Add Standard 100μl to ① ② , then add Standard diluent 50μl to ①②, mix ; take out 100μl from①②,and then add it to ③ ④ separately, then add Standard diluent 50μl to ③ ④ ,mix ; then take out 50μl from ③ ④ ,and discard, then take out 50μl from ③ ④ and add to ⑤ ⑥ , then add Standard diluent 50μl to the⑤⑥, mix ; take out 50μl from ⑤⑥ and add to⑦⑧, then add Standard diluent 50μl to the ⑦⑧ ,mix ; take out 50μl from the ⑦⑧ and add to ⑨⑩, add Standard diluent 50μl to⑨⑩, mix , take out 50μl from⑨⑩discard. After dilution,the total volume in each well is 50 μl,and the concentration is 90 ng/ml, 60 ng/ml, 30 ng/ml, 15 ng/ml, 7.5 ng/ml respectively.
  2. Set wells separately: Set blank well ( Please do not add Sample and HRP-Conjugate reagent to the blank comparison wells,other each step operation is same), and Testing sample well.
  3. Add Sample: Add Sample Diluent 40μl to Testing sample well, then add testing sample 10μl (Sample final dilution is 5-fold) .Please add Sample to the bottom of pre-coated well , do not touch the well wall as far as possible, and mix gently.
  4. Incubate: After closing the plate with Closure plate membrane ,incubate for 30 min at 37℃.
  5. Prepare the Washing Buffer: 30-fold Wash Solution, diluted 30-fold with Distilled water until 600ml,and reserve.
  6. Washing:Uncover Closure plate membrane, discard Liquid, dry by swing, add Washing Buffer to each well, still for 30s then drain, repeat 5 times, dry by pat.
  7. Add enzyme:Add HRP-Conjugate Reagent 50μl to each well, except the Blank well.
  8. Incubate:Operation with 4).
  9. Washing:Operation with 6).
  10. Color:Add TMB Chromogen Solution A 50ul and then add TMB Chromogen Solution B 50ul to each well, mix gently,evade the light preservation for 15 min at 37℃
  11. Stop the Reaction:Add Stop Solution 50μl to each well, to stop the reaction(the blue color change to yellow color immediately).
  12. Assay:Set the OD of Blank well as zero , read absorbance at 450nm after adding Stop Solution within 15min.

The judgment of result must take the OD of Microplate reader as a standard, when use the dual-wavelength to assay, reference wavelength is 630nm.

8. CALCULATE

Take the Standard density as the horizontal, the OD value for the vertical ,obtain the Standard Curve, then find out the corresponding density according to the sample OD value, and multiplied by the dilution multiple.
Or calculate the straight line regression equation of the standard curve with the standard density and the OD value ,with the sample OD value in the equation, calculate the sample density, multiplied by the dilution factor,the result is the sample actual density.

Note: This standard curve is provided for demonstration only. A standard curve should be generated for each set of samples assayed.
