Precaution:
The Stop Solution (024280K) suggested for use with this kit is an acid solution. Wear eye, hand, face, and clothing protection when using this material.

Storage and Stability:
Store *024280A, *024280B, *024280D, *024280E and *024280J at -20°C. After reconstitution of *024280J, store at 4°C and use within 5 days. Store all the other components at 4°C. Unused kit is stable for 6 months after receipt. Once kit components are opened, it is highly recommended to use remaining reagents within 1 month provided this is within the expiration date of the kit. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vials after thawing and prior to removing the cap.

Notes on 024280J: Positive Control:

Intended Use:
The control vial is from a mouse serum sample known to contain COL3. It will provide a positive result in the ELISA assay, which indicates that the kit is optimized and working properly.

Characteristics:
The control vial contains mouse COL3 in mouse serum (lyophilized powder). Note: The mouse source material used in this product is from healthy mouse of SPF standards (specific pathogen-free animals).

Expected Values:
755.6pg/ml

Usage:
Dissolve with 150ul standard diluent and let it stand for 10 minutes. If powder is partly insoluble, shake gently until fully dissolved. Mix gently before use. In the experiment, add 100ul to an appropriate well of the plate and test its concentration along with standards and your specimens.
Note: Upon receipt store Positive Control vial at -20°C. After reconstitution, store Positive Control vial at 4°C and use within 5 days.

Assay Procedure Summary:
1. Prepare all reagents, samples and standards.
2. Add 100ul standard or sample to each well. Incubate 2 hours at 37°C.
3. Aspirate and add 100ul prepared Detection Reagent A. Incubate 1 hour at 37°C.
4. Aspirate and wash 3 times.
5. Add 100ul prepared Detection Reagent B. Incubate 30 minutes at 37°C.
6. Aspirate and wash 5 times.
7. Add 90ul TMB Substrate. Incubate 15-25 minutes at 37°C.
8. Add 50ul Stop Solution. Read at 450nm immediately.
