Keratan Sulfate ELISA Kit
- Assay Procedure
Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature before use.
It is recommended that all standards and samples be assayed in duplicate.
  1. Prepare all reagents, Keratan Sulfate Standard Solutions and samples. * **
  2. Set the necessary number of strips of Antibody-coated Microplate (A) in the Frame (I).
  3. Wash each well 4 times with 200 µL of Wash Solution.
  4. Add 50 µL of Keratan Sulfate Standard Solutions (40, 20, 10, 5, 2.5ng/mL), blanks and/or samples. Incubate for 60 min. at 37°C. (Primary Reaction) ***
  5. After removing the reaction solution, wash each well 4 times with 200 µL of Wash Solution.
  6. Add 25 µL of HRP-Conjugated Streptavidin Solution (C) and 25 µL of Biotinylated Antibody Solution (D) into each well and then mix gently. Incubate for 60 min. at 37°C. (Secondary Reaction) ***
  7. After removing the reaction solution, wash each well 4 times with 200 µL of Wash Solution.
  8. Add 50 µL of Substrate Solution (E) into each well. Incubate for 10 min. at room temperature in dark (15 - 25°C). (Development Reaction)***
  9. Add 50 µL of Stop Solution (F) into each well and then mix gently.
  10. Measure absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader (reference wavelength, 630-650 nm).
* Remove particulates by centrifugation, and dilute with Sample Diluent as needed.
** If testing bodily fluids, the sample should be diluted at an appropriate dilution number in Sample Diluent.
*** Seal with Cover Film (J) for microplate during the reaction.
