Purchase FAQ

    

    Question: If reagent is very small in size, what am I going to do?

    

    Answer: If reagent is very small in size, please centrifuge the reagent bottle before use, to ensure that the reagent concentrate in the bottle.

    

    Question: Do not save reagent as specified?

    

    Answer: not recommended, or reagent quality cannot be guaranteed.

    Problem: high background color is what?

    

    Answer: the background color is too high for the following main reasons:

    

    1) incorrect washing not fully or omit any step in the wash step will cause the background color too much.

    

    Solution: check the volume of wash buffer and make sure to complete all steps of washing;Ensure proper dilution of wash buffer and use it correctly.

    

    2) substrate was polluted

    

    Ensure before use, substrate is not polluted by Metal ions and oxidants; In the experiments, you should keep a few extra substrat; Substrate itself should not have color

    

    3) dilution was polluted

    

    Most of our diluting fluid contains protein, when you use it for the first time, it is likely to cause pollution.When remove the liquid from the bottle,it must use "sterilization" spear head

    

    4) substrates are exposed

    

    Exposure of substrates will turn the substrate into the blue, so before joining plates, you should save it in the shadows (the reagent bottle)

    

    5) The conjugates are diluted by error

    

    The Concentration of conjugates too high can cause high background color, therefore it must dilute in strict accordance with the product instructions.

    

    6) errors of the incubation time and temperature

    

    You Must be strictly in accordance with the product specification to determine the incubation time and temperature

    

    7) Coated plates being saved incorrectly

    

    If the package is only used a part, be sure to correctly save the remaining slats.

    

    Problem: why is the CV (coefficient of variation) too high ?

    

    Answer: it is too high for several reasons:

    

    1) when you wash or draw liquid, scraping into the plate hole created internally coated with antibodies fall off

    

    Note washing coated plates or move standard samples don't scratch the inner surface of the plate.

    

    2) at the time of stripping coated Board cover, it may cause cross-contamination between the holes.

    

    When the incubation is complete, be sure to carefully Strip coated Board cover to avoid cross-contamination between the holes.

    

    3) Samples are not uniform

    

    Ensure that the test sample is homogeneous before joining coated plate to mix.

    

    4) edge effects

    

    You should seal the package at the time of incubation, and incubate at 100 rpm on the oscillator.

    

    5) pipette is not properly calibrated

    

    6) ensure that the pipette is calibrated correctly in the experiment

    

    Problem: why is the standard curve wrong ?

    

    Answer: the following main reasons:

    

    1) Resuspend of the lyophilized standards is incorrect

    

    Ensure that the suspended of lyophilized standard in the right liquid, with the correct size and resuspend. volume of the Resuspend is on both the instructions and on the label indicating of reagent bottle.

    

    2) hang time too short

    

    ensure enough time to completely dissolve freeze dried standard

    

    3) standard is incorrect diluted

    

    standards must be strictly diluted in accordance with the product instructions correctly.

    

    4) standard products and diluent are not saved correctly

    

    the storage of standard product and diluent are listed in the Instruction, you  must be strictly in accordance with the instruction.

    

    5) standard is polluted

    

    Use sterile tips, the right way of saving can prevent pollution.

    

    6) standard dilution is not properly mixed

    

    ensure that each dilution is mixed correctly when the standard is diluted

    

    7) wavelength of the detection is incorrect

    

    ensure the wavelength of Spectrophotometric agent is correct.

    

    8) using other batches of standard

    

    Can only using the same standard in the same Kit, other standard in other batch of the Kit cannot be used.

    

    Question: why does it have color?

    

    Answer:for the following main reasons:

    

    1) restore the reagents to room temperature before the test.

    

    In the experiment to restore all reagents to room temperature before you start.

    

    2) some reagents are not saved correctly

    

    The saving methods of all reagents are detailed in the manual, must be strictly in accordance with its operation.

    

    3) HRP is polluted

    

    ensure there is no contamination Before this reagent is used.

    

    4) dilution of HRP is incorrect

    

    If HRP is diluted excessively, the color will weaken, so you must dilute it according to manual operation.

    

    5) Two kinds of TMB are mixed incorrectly

    

    ensure the correct mixing as shown in the instruction

    

    6) omitting steps of the incubation

    

    any step incubation steps in the Instructions cannot be omitted.

    

    7) plate is drying after washing or in the storage

    

    After washing, Pat plank on the absorbent paper to remove excess wash buffer, immediately after the back steps or on blotting paper of no more than 15 minutes to avoid plate dry.

    

    8) when you wash or move liquid, scraping into the plate hole, so it created antibodies falling off

    

    don't scratch the inner surface of the plate when you wash coated plates or move standard samples.

    

    9) samples are not suitable for this test

    

    Application of specimen for each product are listed in the manual range, out of range of the specimen may not be available in this kit or test conditions. So you  need to fumble (such as control dilution, etc)

    

    Problem: why is the sample or standard "overflow" ?

    

    Answer: it has the following main reasons:

    

    1) sample/standard is incorrectly diluted

    

    It need strictly accordance with the instructions to dilute the samples and standards.

    

    2) coupling reagents are diluted incorrectly

    

    Diluting the coupling reagents must be strictly in accordance with instructions,  too high concentrations will cause OD "overflow"

    

    3) use wrong dilutions

    

    You can only use diluent in the appropriate Kit to diluted sample and standard.

    

    4) The wavelength of detection is incorrect

    

    ensure the wavelength of Spectrophotometric agent is correct

    

    5) The Chromogenic time of TMB is too long

    

    Please monitor Chromogenic time. Color time shown in the instructions may differ slightly in temperature and other conditions change

    

    6) samples are not suitable for this test

    

    Application of the specimen for each product are listed in the manual range, out of range of the specimen may not be available in this kit or test conditions, so it need to fumble (such as control dilution, etc)

    

    7) sample/standard is polluted

    

    The pollution of the sample or standard could lead to results "overflow".

    

    8) The time of incubation /temperature is incorrect

    

    You should ensure the time of incubation and temperature strictly according to the instructions.

    

    9) Cover the Elisa plate cover at the time of incubation

    

    You should cover the Elisa plate cover at the time of incubation in order to prevent evaporation of the liquid or the pollution in the incubation period. Each kit has a sufficient number of Elisa plate cover.
