ELISA Human - Decorin

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.

-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.	-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.

-Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature (18–25 °C) before use.	-Wash by filling each well with Wash Buffer (300 µl) using a multi-channel Pipette or autowasher. Complete removal of liquid at each step is essential to good performance. After the last wash, remove any remaining Wash Buffer by aspirating or decanting. Invert the plate and blot it against clean paper towels. -Read at 450 nm immediately after adding STOP solution.

-Equilibrate all reagents to room temperature (18-25°C) prior to use.	-Avoid foaming or bubbles when mixing or reconstituting components. -Ensure plates are properly sealed or covered during incubation steps. -Complete removal of all solutions and buffers during wash steps is necessary to minimize background.	-Discard the working standard dilutions after use – they do not store well.
