Nitrofuran AMOZ ELISA Food Safety Test Kit for Milk Sensitivity 0.03ppb 96Wells/Kit

1. Nitrofuran AMOZ ELISA Food Safety Test Kit Principle

This detection kit is based on a competitive enzyme immunoassay for the detection of AMOZ in samples. Conjugated antigens are pre-coated on microwell strips. The AMOZ in the sample competes with the conjugated antigen pre-coated on the microwell strip for the anti-AMOZ antibody. After the enzyme conjugate is added, TMB substrate is added for staining. The optical density (OD) value of a sample is negatively correlated with the AMOZ in it. This value is compared to a standard curve and the AMOZ concentration is subsequently obtained.

6. ELISA procedures

6.1 Instructions

1) Bring all reagents and micro-well strips to the room temperature (20-25 ℃) before use;

2) Return all reagents to 2-8 ℃ immediately after use;

3) The reproducibility of the ELISA analysis, to a large degree, depends on the consistency of plate washing. The correct operation of plate washing is the key point in ELISA the procedures;

4) For the incubation at constant temperatures, all the samples and reagents must avoid light exposure, and each microplate should be sealed by the cover membrane.

6.2 Operation procedures

1) Bring test kit to the room temperature (20-25 ℃) for at least 30 min, note that each reagent must be shaken to mix evenly before use, put the required micro-well strips into plate frames. Re-sealed the unused microplate, store at 2-8 ℃, not frozen.

2) Solution preparation: dilute 40mL of the 20 × concentrated washing buffer with deionized water at 1:19 (1 part 20 × concentrated washing buffer + 19 parts deionized water). Or prepare as needed.

3) Numbering: number the micro-wells according to samples and standard solution; each sample and standard solution should be performed in duplicate, record their positions.

4) Add 50µL of the sample or standard solution into separate duplicate wells; add 50ul enzyme conjugate then 50µL of the antibody working solution into each well, mix gently by shaking the plate manually. Seal the microplate with the cover membrane, andincubate at 25 ℃ for30min.

5) Pour liquid out of microwell, flap to dry on absorbent paper, add 250 µL/well of washing buffer to wash microplate for 15-30s, then take out and flap to dry with absorbent paper, repeat 4-5 times. (If there are the bubbles after flapping, cut them with the clean tips).

6) Coloration: add 50 µL of the substrate A and then 50 µL of the substrate B into each well. Mix gently by shaking the plate manually, then incubate at 25 ℃ for 15 min at dark for coloration.

7) Determination: add 50µL of the stop solution into each well. Mix gently by shaking the plate manually. Set the wavelength of the microplate reader at 450nm to determine the OD value of every well. (Recommend to read the OD value at the dual-wavelength 450/630nm within 5 minutes).

7. Result judgment

There are two methods to judge the results: the first one is the rough judgment, while the second is the quantitative determination. Note that the OD value of the sample has a negative correlation with the AMOZ concentration.

7.1 Qualitative determination

The concentration range (ng/mL) of AMOZ can be obtained from comparing the average OD value of the sample with that of the standard solution. Assuming that the OD value of the sampleⅠ is 0.3, and that of the sampleⅡ is 1.0, the OD value of standard solutions is: 2.243 for 0ppb, 1.816 for 0.03ppb, 1.415 for 0.09ppb, 0.74 for 0.27ppb, 0.313 for 0.81ppb, 0.155 for 2.43ppb, accordingly the concentration range of the sampleⅠ is 0.81 to 2.43ppb, and that of the sampleⅡ is 0.09 to 0.27ppb.

7.2 Quantitative determination

The mean values of the absorbance values is obtained for the average OD value (B) of the sample and the standard solution divided by the OD value (B0) of the first standard solution (0 standard) and subsequently multiplied by 100%, that is,

B—the average OD value of the sample or the standard solution

B0—the average OD value of the 0 ng/mL standard solution

Draw the standard curve with the absorption percentages of the standard solution and the semilogarithm values of the AMOZ standard solution (ng/mL) as Y- and X-axis, respectively. Read the corresponding concentration of the sample from the standard curve by incorporating its absorption percentage into the standard curve. The resulting value is subsequently multiplied by the corresponding dilution fold, finally obtaining the AMOZ concentration in the sample.

8. Precautions

1) If the room temperature is lower than 25℃ or the reagent temperature and the sample do not return to room temperature (20-25℃), the standard OD value will drop.

2) During the washing process, the drying of the microplate will be accompanied by the nonlinearity of the standard curve, and the reproducibility is not ideal; therefore, proceed to the next step immediately after washing.

3) Mix well, otherwise the reproducibility will be poor.

4) The stop solution is 2 M sulfuric acid solution, avoid skin contact.

5) Do not use the kit beyond the shelf life. The use of diluted or adulterated reagents from the kit can result in changes in sensitivity and detection OD values. Do not replace reagents in different batches of kits.

6) Reseal unused microplates in ziplock bags. Standard solutions and colorless couplers are light-sensitive and cannot be directly exposed to light.

7) Discard any coloring solution whose color indicates that the solution has degraded. A detection value of less than 0.5 for Standard Solution 1 (0 ppb) indicates degradation.

8) The optimal reaction temperature is 25℃, and the detection sensitivity and OD value will change if the temperature is too high or too low.

9. Storage and expiry date

Expiry date: 12 months; date of production is on box.
