This kit is for in vitro research use only

Intended application

Quantitative determination of soluble myeloid cell trigger receptor-1 (sTREM-1) in human serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant or other related biological fluids by ELISA.

Experimental principle

The microtiter plate is coated with purified antibody to make a solid-phase carrier, and the specimen or standard, biotinylated anti-sTREM-1 antibody, and HRP-labeled affinity are sequentially added to the microwell coated with anti-sTREM-1 antibody After thorough washing, it is developed with the substrate TMB. TMB is converted into blue under the catalysis of peroxidase, and into the final yellow under the action of acid. The color depth is positively correlated with sTREM-1 in the sample. The absorbance (OD value) was measured with a microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm, and the sample concentration was calculated.

Note: The above specimens should be stored at 4 ℃ for less than 1 week, -20 ℃ or -80 ℃ should be sealed, -20 ℃ should not exceed 3 months, -80 ℃ should not exceed 6 months; specimen hemolysis will affect the final As a result of the test, hemolytic specimens should not be tested; specimens with high blood lipids do not require special treatment and can be tested directly.

Steps

Before the experiment, please prepare all the reagents in advance; when the reagents or samples are diluted, they should be mixed well, and try to avoid foaming when mixing. A standard curve should be made for each test. If the sample concentration is too high, the sample diluent should be used for dilution to make the sample meet the detection range of the kit. It is recommended that each laboratory conduct pre-experiment before operation to establish the optimal dilution factor.

1. Add sample: set blank hole, standard hole and sample hole to be tested respectively. Add 100ul of sample diluent to the blank well, and 100ul of the standard or the sample to be tested in the remaining well. Be careful not to have air bubbles. Add the sample to the bottom of the well of the microtiter plate. The target plate is covered with a cover or film and reacted at 37 ° C for 120 minutes.

To ensure the validity of the experimental results, please use a new standard solution for each experiment.

2. Discard the liquid and spin dry without washing. Add 100ul of detection solution A working solution (prepared within one hour before use) to each well, 37 ℃, 60 minutes.

3. After incubating for 60 minutes, discard the liquid in the hole, spin dry, wash the plate 3 times, soak for 1-2 minutes each time, 350ul / per hole, spin dry (you can also pat the liquid in the hole to pat dry).

4. Add 100 μl of testing solution B working solution (same as testing A working solution) to each well at 37 ℃ for 60 minutes.

5. After incubating for 60 minutes, discard the liquid in the hole, spin dry, wash the plate 5 times, soak for 1-2 minutes each time, 350ul / per hole, spin dry (you can also pat the liquid in the hole to pat dry).

6. Add 90ul of substrate solution to each well in sequence, and develop color at 37 ° C in the dark (within 30 minutes, at this time, the first 3-4 wells of the standard product have a visible blue gradient, and the latter 3-4 wells have no obvious gradient) , You can terminate).

7. Add 50ul of stop solution to each well in sequence to stop the reaction. At this time, the blue color turns to yellow. The order of adding the stop solution should be the same as that of the substrate solution. 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.

8. Measure the optical density (OD value) of each well in sequence using an enzyme-linked instrument at a wavelength of 450 nm. Test immediately after adding stop solution.

Note:

1. Leave one hole for each experiment as a blank zero adjustment hole (different from the blank hole). No reagents are added to this hole, but the substrate solution and 2N H2SO4 are added at the end. Use this hole to adjust the OD value to zero when measuring.

2. Incubate in strict accordance with the prescribed time and temperature to ensure accurate results. All reagents must reach room temperature before use. Refrigerate the reagent immediately after use.

3. Incorrect plate washing can lead to inaccurate results. Before adding test solution B or substrate, make sure to absorb the liquid in the well as much as possible. In order to prevent the sample from evaporating, place the reaction plate in a closed box covered with a damp cloth during the test. The enzyme label plate is covered with a cover or film to avoid liquid evaporation; the next step should be performed as soon as possible after washing the plate to avoid the length of the enzyme label plate Time is dry.

4. Eliminate the residual liquid and fingerprints on the bottom of the board, otherwise it will affect the OD value.

5. Avoid direct light exposure during storage and incubation.

6. Store unused microplates or reagents at 2-8 ° C. Standard products, test solution A working fluid, and test solution B working fluid should be configured and used according to the required amount. Please accurately configure the standard product and working fluid, and try not to configure it in a small amount (for example, when drawing test solution A, it should not be less than 10ul at a time), To avoid concentration errors due to inaccurate dilution; the detection solutions A, B, and substrate solutions should be incubated at 37 ° C for 30 minutes before use; do not reuse the diluted standard and detection solution A Working fluid or detection solution B working fluid.

7. It is recommended to set a double-hole test when testing samples to ensure the accuracy of the test results.

Plate washing method Manual plate washing method: absorb (not to touch the wall) or shake off the liquid in the enzyme plate; place a few layers of water on the experimental table

Paper, with the microtiter plate down and vigorously pat several times; inject at least 0.3ml of the recommended wash buffer into the well and soak for 1-2 minutes, as needed

Yes, repeat this process several times.
Automatic plate washing: If there is an automatic plate washing machine, it should be used in the formal experiment process after being used skillfully.

Specificity

The kit can simultaneously detect recombinant or natural human soluble myeloid cell trigger receptor-1 (sTREM-1), and does not cross-react with other related proteins.

Calculation

Take the concentration of the standard as the abscissa (logarithmic coordinate) and the OD value as the ordinate (ordinary coordinate), draw a standard curve on semi-logarithmic coordinate paper (recommended to use professional curve making software for analysis, such as curve expert 1.3) , According to the OD value of the sample, find the corresponding concentration from the standard curve, and then multiply it by the dilution factor; or use the standard concentration and OD value to calculate the regression equation of the standard curve, and substitute the OD value of the sample into the equation to calculate the sample concentration , Multiplied by the dilution factor, which is the actual concentration of the sample.

Precautions

1. The washing process is very important. Insufficient washing can easily cause false positives.

2. It is best to control the sampling time within 5 minutes. If the number of specimens is large, it is recommended to use a multi-channel pipette to add samples.

3. Please make a standard curve at the same time of each measurement, and it is best to make a double hole.

4. If the content of the substance to be tested in the specimen is too high, please dilute it and then determine it. When calculating, please multiply by the dilution factor.

5. When preparing standard products and testing solution working fluids, please prepare with corresponding diluent, not to be confused.

6. Please keep the substrate away from light.

Detection range: 15.6 pg / ml-1,000 pg / ml

Minimum detection limit: 3.9 pg / ml

Explanation

1. Avoid exposing the reagent to strong light during storage and incubation. All reagent bottle caps must be tightly closed to prevent evaporation and contamination. Reagents should be protected from microbial contamination, because the interference of proteolytic enzymes will lead to erroneous results.

2. Aspirate the reagents carefully and strictly observe the given incubation time and temperature. Please note that when drawing samples / standards, enzyme conjugates or substrates, if the time interval between the first well and the last well is too large, it will result in different "pre-incubation" time, which obviously Affect the accuracy and repeatability of the measured value. Moreover, insufficient washing will affect the test results.

3. Storage of the kit: some reagents are stored at -20 ° C, and some reagents are stored at 2-8 ° C, depending on the label.

4. Salt will precipitate out in the concentrated washing liquid, and it can be heated and dissolved in the water bath when diluted.

5. There may be some water-like substances in the well of the enzyme-linked plate just opened. This is a normal phenomenon and will not have any impact on the experimental results.

6. All samples should be well managed, and the samples and testing devices should be processed according to the prescribed procedures.

7. Validity: 6 months

In recent years, Silicone Kitchen Tools were introduced into the market. What makes these silicone products different or more advantageous than the others? Why should we use silicone kitchen tools? Is it safe to use these products? 

Silicone Cooking Utensils have high-heat resistance. It can withstand very high heat (some manufacturers claim heat resistance of up to 6000 Fahrenheit). If you're using silicone turners or whisks in cooking, you don't have to worry that it will melt when you accidentally leave it in the pot for a while.

 Silicone Cooking Utensils are stain-resistant. This is because of the non-porous characteristic of silicone. So that it doesn't retain odors or colors when you use it for stirring deep-colored food like tomato-based food products. Have you experienced how difficult it is to remove spaghetti sauce stains on your rubber spatula. This also lends the silicone products to easier cleaning or washing. 

Silicone cooking utensils are rubber-like. This makes them very user-friendly when dealing with non-stick surfaces. It cannot scratch or damage non-stick cooking pots and pans as wooden or metals spoons do. This flexibility makes it as useful as the rubber spatula in scraping clean those cake batter off the mixing bowl. 

Silicone cooking utensils are non-corrosive and hard-wearing. Food grade silicone are very safe to use in any type of food. It does not react with food or beverages, or produce any hazardous fumes.  This means that it will probably last longer than the other Kitchen Utensils

Silicone cooking utensils are safe to use. In The Safe Use of Cookware article by Health Canada, it is mentioned  "There are no known health hazards associated with use of silicone kitchen tools."
Looking at the above-mentioned qualities of silicone kitchen tools, I think you will get your money's worth when you consider purchasing these items for use in your kitchen.
