Precaution:The Stop Solution (023998K) included for use in this kit is an acid solution. Wear eye, hand, face, and clothing protection when using this material.
Storage and Stability:Store *023998A, *023998B, *023998D, *023998E and *023998J at -20°C. After reconstitution of *023998J, store at 4°C and use within 5 days. Store all the other components at 4°C. Unused kit is stable for 6 months after receipt. Once kit components are opened, it is highly recommended to use remaining reagents within 1 month provided this is within the expiration date of the kit. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vials after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Notes on 023998J: Positive Control
Intended Use:The positive control is from a human serum sample known to contain the target protein. It will provide a positive result in the ELISA assay, which indicates that the kit is optimized and working properly.
Characteristics:The positive control vial contains human CTSD in human serum sample (lyophilized powder). Note: The human based material used in this product is screened for HIV, Hepatitis A, B, C, HTLV and Syphilis.
Expected Values:2.24ng/ml
Usage:Dissolve with 150ul standard diluent and let stand for 10 minutes. If powder is partly insoluble, shake gently until fully dissolved. Mix gently before use. In the experiment, add 100ul to an appropriate well of the plate and test its concentration along with standards and your specimens. Note: Upon receipt store Positive Control vial at -20°C. After reconstitution, store Positive Control vial at 4°C and use within 5 days.
