Intended Use

This sandwich kit is for the accurate quantitative detection of Rat Solute carrier family 5 member 5
(also known as Slc5a5) in serum, plasma, cell culture supernates, Ascites, tissue homogenates or
other biological fluids.

Assay Principle

This kit is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The plate has been pre-coated with
Rat Slc5a5 antibody. Slc5a5 present in the sample is added and binds to antibodies coated on the
wells. And then biotinylated Rat Slc5a5 Antibody is added and binds to Slc5a5 in the sample. Then
Streptavidin-HRP is added and binds to the Biotinylated Slc5a5 antibody. After incubation
unbound Streptavidin-HRP is washed away during a washing step. Substrate solution is then added

 Stop solution contains acid. Please wear eye, hand and skin protection when using this
material. Avoid contact of skin or mucous membranes with kit reagent.
 The kit should not be used beyond the expiration date.

Specimen Collection
Serum Allow serum to clot for 10-20 minutes at room temperature. Centrifuge at 2000-3000 RPM
for 20 minutes. Collect the supernatant without sediment.
Plasma Collect plasma using EDTA or heparin as an anticoagulant.After mix 10-20 minutes,
centrifuge samples for 20 minutes at 2000-3000 RPM. Collect the supernatant without sediment.
Urine/Ascites/ Cerebrospinal fluid Collect by sterile tube. Centrifuge at 2000-3000 RPM for 20
minutes. Collect the supernatant without sediment.
Cell culture supernatant Collect by sterile tubes. When detecting secrete components, centrifuge
at 2000-3000 RPM for 20 minutes. Collect the supernatants. When detecting the components in
the cell, use PBS (pH 7.2-7.4) to dilute cell suspension , the cell concentration of approximately 1
million/ml. Damage cells through repeated freeze-thaw cycles to let out the inside components.
Centrifuge at 2000-3000 RPM for 20 minutes. Collect the supernatant without sediment.
Tissue Rinse tissues in ice-cold PBS (pH 7.4) to remove excess blood thoroughly and weigh
before homogenization. Mince tissues and homogenize them in PBS (tissue weight (g): PBS (mL)
volume=1:9) with a glass homogenizer on ice. To further break down the cells, you can sonicate
the suspension with an ultrasonic cell disrupter or subject it to freeze-thaw cycles. The
homogenates are then centrifuged for 5 minutes at 5000×g to get the supernatant.

Note
 Sample concentrations should be predicted before being used in the assay. If the sample
concentration is not within the range of the standard curve, users must contact us to
determine the optimal sample for their particular experiments.
 Samples to be used within 5 days should be stored at 2-8°C. Samples should be aliquoted or
must be stored at -20°C within 1 month or -80°C within 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze
thaw cycles.
 Samples should be brought to room temperature before starting the assay.
 Centrifuge to collect sample before use.
 Samples containing NaN3 can’t be tested as it inhibits the activity of Horse Radish Peroxidase
(HRP).
 Collect the supernatants carefully. When sediments occurred during storage, centrifugation
should be performed again.
 Hemolysis can greatly impact the validity of test results. Take care to minimize hemolysis.
*Sample can't be diluted with this kit. Owing to the the material we use to prepare the kit, the
sample matrix interference may falsely depress the specificity and accuracy of the assay.

Reagent Preparation

 All reagents should be brought to room temperature before use.

 Standard Reconstitute the 120μl of the standard (80ng/ml) with 120μl of standard diluent to
generate a 40ng/ml standard stock solution. Allow the standard to sit for 15 mins with gentle
agitation prior to making dilutions. Prepare duplicate standard points by serially diluting the
standard stock solution (40ng/ml) 1:2 with standard diluent to produce20ng/ml, 10ng/ml,
5ng/ml and2.5ng/ml solutions. Standard diluent serves as the zero standard(0 ng/ml). Any
remaining solution should be frozen at -20°C and used within one month. Dilution of standard
solutions suggested are as follows:
40ng/ml Standard No.5 120μl Original Standard + 120μl Standard Diluent

20ng/ml Standard No.4 120μl Standard No.5 + 120μl Standard Diluent

10ng/ml Standard No.3 120μl Standard No.4 + 120μl Standard Diluent

5ng/ml Standard No.2 120μl Standard No.3 + 120μl Standard Diluent

2.5ng/ml Standard No.1 120μl Standard No.2 + 120μl Standard Diluent

Standard
Concentration Standard No.5 Standard No.4 Standard No.3 Standard No.2 Standard No.1

80ng/ml 40ng/ml 20ng/ml 10ng/ml 5ng/ml 2.5ng/ml

  Wash Buffer Dilute 20ml of Wash Buffer Concentrate 25x into deionized or distilled
water to yield 500 ml of 1x Wash Buffer. If crystals have formed in the concentrate, mix
gently until the crystals have completely dissolved.

Assay Procedure

1. Prepare all reagents, standard solutions and samples as instructed. Bring all reagents to room
temperature before use. The assay is performed at room temperature.

2. Determine the number of strips required for the assay. Insert the strips in the frames for use.
The unused strips should be stored at 2-8°C.

3. Add 50μl standard to standard well. Note: Don’t add biotinylated antibody to standard well
because the standard solution contains biotinylated antibody.

4. Add 40μl sample to sample wells and then add 10μl anti-Slc5a5 antibody to sample wells,
then add 50μl streptavidin-HRP to sample wells and standard wells ( Not blank control well ).
Mix well. Cover the plate with a sealer. Incubate 60 minutes at 37°C.
5. Remove the sealer and wash the plate 5 times with wash buffer. Soak wells with 300ul wash
buffer for 30 seconds to 1 minute for each wash. For automated washing, aspirate or decant
each well and wash 5 times with wash buffer. Blot the plate onto paper towels or other
absorbent material.
6. Add 50μl substrate solution A to each well and then add 50μl substrate solution B to each
well. Incubate plate covered with a new sealer for 10 minutes at 37°C in the dark.
7. Add 50μl Stop Solution to each well, the blue color will change into yellow immediately.
8. Determine the optical density (OD value) of each well immediately using a microplate reader
set to 450 nm within 10 minutes after adding the stop solution.

Summary

1. Prepare all reagents, samples and standards.

2. Add sample and ELISA reagent into each well. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C.

3. Wash the plate 5 times.

4. Add substrate solution A and B. Incubate for 10 minutes at 37°C.

5. Add stop solution and color develops.

6. Read the OD value within 10 minutes.

Calculation of Result

Construct a standard curve by plotting the average OD for each standard on the vertical (Y) axis

against the concentration on the horizontal (X) axis and draw a best fit curve through the points on

the graph. These calculations can be best performed with computer-based curve-fitting software

and the best fit line can be determined by regression analysis.

Typical Data

This standard curve is only for demonstration purposes. A standard curve should be generated with

each assay.

 Reagent are contaminated  Use new one
 Pipette are not clean  Pipette should be clean

No Signal

 Reagent are contaminated  Use new one

 Sample prepared incorrectly  Make sure the sample workable/dilution
