ELISA Mouse - GM-CSF

ELISA is the most commonly used method of detecting and quantifying the concentration of an antigen in an unknown sample. During the experiment, If you get a weak signal, then make sure reagents are at room temperature before starting the assay. Try increasing incubation times to ensure maximal antibody binding and amplify the signal. Secondly, if you get values above 0 in the negative control indicates a high background signal. Try to consider reducing your antibody concentration and prevent non-specific binding of antibodies by using affinity-purified antibody and suitable blocking buffers. To avoid high well to well variation, do not stack plates during incubation, no bubbles in the plate and wash wells thoroughly to avoid variation.

Upstream tips
-Allow the microtiter plates to equilibrate to room temperature before opening the foil bags.
Protocol tips
-Run a standard curve with each assay.
-Drain residual wash liquid from the wells by efficient aspiration or by decantation followed by tapping the plate forcefully on absorbent paper. Never insert absorbent paper directly into the wells.
-Do not cover plate with foil.
Downstream tips
-Once the desired number of strips are removed, immediately reseal the bag and store the plate at 2 to 8°C to maintain plate integrity.
-Store both the concentrate and the Working Wash Buffer in the refrigerator. Use the diluted buffer within 14 days.
Upstream tips
-Bring all reagents to room temperature before use. Allow all components to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes with gentle agitation after initial reconstitution.
-Working dilutions should be prepared and used immediately.
Protocol tips
-A standard curve should be generated for each set of samples assayed.
-It is suggested to start Reagent Diluent optimization for serum and plasma samples by using PBS supplemented with 10-50% animal serum.
-Do not use buffers with animal serum to reconstitute or dilute the Detection Antibody or Streptavidin-HRP B.
Upstream tips
-Allow all reagents to equilibrate to room temperature (20-25°C).
Protocol tips
-Allow Substrate A and B to come to room temperature (20-25°C).
-Do not allow the plate to dry out between steps.
-Do not allow the substrate or SHRP to be exposed to UV light, as this may degrade it.
Downstream tips
- Store at room temperature (20-25°C) after mixing.
