Principles of sample dilution


If your test sample needs to be diluted, refer to the general dilution principles below:


1. Dilution 50 Times: One-step dilution.
Take 5 μL Sample to 245 μL Standard & In the sample dilution, is 50 Double dilution;


2. Dilution 100 Times: One-step dilution.
Take 5 μL Sample to 495 μL Standard & In the sample dilution, is 100 Double dilution;


3. Dilution 1000 Times: Two-step dilution.
Take 5 μL Sample to 95 μL Standard & In the sample dilution, is 20 Dilute, and then take 5 μL 20 Double dilute sample to 245 μL Standard & In the sample dilution, is 50 Double dilution, co-dilution 1000 Times;


4. Dilution 100000 Times: Three-step dilution.
Take 5 μL Sample to 195 μL Standard & In the sample dilution, is 40 Dilute, and then take 5 μL 40 Double dilute sample to 245 μL Standard & In the sample diluent, do 50 Time dilution, and finally take 5 μL 2000 Double dilute sample to 245 μL Standard & In the sample diluent, do 50 Double dilution, total dilution 100000 Times;


5. The amount of liquid taken during each dilution step is not less than 3 μL , the dilution factor is not more than 100 Times.
Too small sampling volume can easily cause greater errors in the mixing process, and each dilution step needs to be mixed evenly to avoid foaming.


6. When the dilution factor is very high, you can use it first PBS Dilution, last step using standard in kit & Sample dilution.

Before use 15 Minutes, dilute and concentrate with enzyme conjugate diluent HRP Enzyme conjugate ( 1:100 ) into working concentration, use on the same day.
Dilution principle 1 μL The concentrated enzyme conjugate is added to 99 μL The enzyme conjugate dilution was mixed with a pipette.


6.TMB Substrate —— Pipette the desired dose of solution and do not pour the residual solution back into the reagent vial again.

Preparation before the experiment


1. All materials and prepared reagents were equilibrated to room temperature prior to use.
Before use, mix all reagents thoroughly, taking care not to create any foam.


2. The user should calculate the number of samples that may be used throughout the trial.
Please reserve enough samples in advance.


3. Please estimate the concentration before measurement.
If these values are not within the standard curve range, the user must determine the optimal sample dilution for their particular experiment.

Operation steps


1. Before the start of the experiment, each reagent should be balanced to room temperature, and all reagents should be configured in advance.
When reagents or samples are diluted, they should be mixed well, and blistering should be avoided as much as possible when mixing well.
If the sample concentration is too high, dilute with a sample diluent to bring the sample within the range of the kit.


2. Add standard or sample to be tested 100 μL (If the sample needs to be diluted, please refer to the sample dilution principle for the dilution method).
Be careful not to have bubbles.
When adding the sample, add the sample to the bottom of the well of the enzyme label plate, try not to touch the well wall, gently shake and mix well, and add the enzyme label plate.
Cover or coating, 37°C incubation 80 Minutes.
To ensure the validity of the experimental results, please use a new standard solution for each experiment.


3. Discard the liquid in the hole, spin dry, wash the plate 3 Times.
For each well 200 μL Washing with washing solution, soaking 1-2 Minutes, shake off the liquid in the labeled plate (or wash the plate with a plate washer).
After the last wash was complete, the plate was pat dry on absorbent paper.


4. Add biotin antibody working solution per well 100μL (can be advanced 15 Preparation in minutes), the enzyme labeled plate is coated, 37°C incubation 50 Minutes.


5. Discard the liquid in the well and wash the plate 3 Times.
For each well 200μL Washing with washing solution, soaking 1-2 Minutes, shake off the liquid in the labeled plate (or wash the plate with a plate washer).
After the last wash was complete, the plate was pat dry on absorbent paper.


6. Add enzyme conjugate working solution per well 100 μL (can be advanced 15 Minute preparation), 37°C incubation 50 Minutes.


7. Discard the liquid in the well and wash the plate 5 Times.
For each well 200 μL Washing with washing solution, soaking 1-2 Minutes, shake off the liquid in the labeled plate (or wash the plate with a plate washer).
After the last wash was complete, the plate was pat dry on absorbent paper.


8. Add per well TMB Chromogenic substrate solution 90 μL , 37°C Incubate in the dark 20 Minutes (shortened or extended as appropriate according to the actual color development, but not exceeding 30 Minutes).


9. Add stop solution to each well 50 μL , terminate the reaction (blue immediately turns yellow at this time).
The sequence of addition of the terminating solution should be the same as that of the developer as possible.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the experimental results, the termination solution should be added as soon as possible after the substrate reaction time expires.


10. Immediately use a microplate reader in 450 nm The optical density values of each well were measured at the wavelength ( OD Value).
The instrument should be preheated before use, and the testing program should be set up.

Results Calculation


1. Of each standard and sample OD Value should be subtracted from the blank hole OD Value.
If a double hole is set, the average value should be taken for calculation.


2. For ease of calculation, although the concentration is an independent variable and OD The value is the dependent variable, and we still use the standard when drawing OD Values as abscissa ( X Axis), the concentration of the standard is the ordinate ( Y Axis).
At the same time, for the intuition of the test results, the figure provides raw data instead of logarithmic values.
Due to the different experimental operating conditions (such as operator, pipetting technology, plate washing technology and temperature conditions, etc.), the standard curve OD Values will vary.
The standard curve provided is for reference only, and the experimenter needs to establish the standard curve according to his own experiment.
Spent sample OD The value can be calculated on the standard curve to calculate the sample concentration and multiply it by the dilution factor, which is the actual concentration of the sample.
It is recommended to use professional curve drawing software such as curve expert 。

Species Reactivity Mouse
Theory This kit adopts the principle of sandwich method. The specific anti-mouse IgG2b antibody was coated in a 96-well microplate, and the mouse IgG2b standard or sample was added to the microwells, so that the mouse IgG2b protein in the standard or the mouse IgG2b protein in the sample was bound to the anti-mouse IgG2b antibody solid on the microplate, then the biotinylated anti-mouse IgG2b antibody was added, the unbound biotinylated antibody was washed, HRP-labeled streptavidin was added, and then TMB substrate was added to develop color. TMB is converted to blue under peroxidase catalysis and to final yellow under the action of acid. There was a positive correlation between the depth of color and the mouse IgG2b protein in the sample. The absorbance (OD value) was measured with a microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm, and the sample concentration was calculated by drawing a standard curve.
Source Mouse
Synonym Mouse Immunoglobulin G2b ELISA Kit
Detection Type Mouse IgG2b can be detected in the sample and does not cross-react with other related proteins

General Notes

1. Please make sure that all components are dissolved and mixed before using the kit. If the reconstituted standard is not used, please discard it.

2. Concentrate the biotinylated antibody. The volume of the concentrated enzyme conjugate is small and may be dispersed in various parts of the tube during transportation. Please centrifuge at 1000 × g for 1 minute before use, so that the liquid on the tube wall or bottle cap can be deposited to the bottom of the tube. Mix the solution by carefully pipetting 4-5 times with a pipette before taking. Standard, biotinylated antibody working solution and enzyme conjugate working solution should be prepared according to the required dosage, and the corresponding diluent should be used to prepare without confusion.

3. The concentrated washing liquid taken out of the refrigerator may have crystals, which is a normal phenomenon. The crystals can be completely dissolved in a water bath or incubator before preparing the washing liquid (the heating temperature should not exceed 40 °C). The wash liquid should be at room temperature when used.

4. Sample addition needs to be quick, and it is best to control each sample addition within 10 minutes. In order to ensure the accuracy of the experiment, it is recommended to use double holes. Maintaining a consistent sequence of addition from well to well when pipetting reagents will ensure the same incubation time for all wells.

5. During the washing process, the washing liquid remaining in the reaction hole should be patted dry on absorbent paper. Do not put the filter paper directly into the reaction hole to absorb water. Before reading, pay attention to removing the residual liquid and fingerprints at the bottom, so as not to affect the reading of the microplate reader.

6. The developer TMB should avoid direct exposure to strong light during storage and use. After adding the substrate, pay attention to the color change in the reaction well. If the gradient is obvious, please terminate the reaction in advance to avoid too dark color affecting the reading of the microplate reader.

7. The test tubes and reagents used during the experiment are disposable, and it is strictly forbidden to reuse them, otherwise the experimental results will be affected.

8. Please wear a laboratory coat and latex gloves for protection during the experiment, especially when testing blood or other body fluid samples, please follow the national biological laboratory safety protection regulations.

9. Kit components of different batch numbers cannot be mixed (except washing solution and reaction stop solution).

10. The enzyme labeling strip in the kit is a detachable plate, please use it in batches according to the experimental requirements.

Storage Temp. Kit unopened, stored at 4 °C. Shelf life 12 months.

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance “More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.” Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!! I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice! Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin. Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur. Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with. Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust. This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!! Read if you’re into- Dark Fantasy/Romance Slow–Burn Question Everything Magic and Action Fae Arthurian Legend Stabby/Broken FFC Morally Gray MMC Forced Proximity Queen of Roses is perfect for Holly Black, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas fans. Please check the trigger warnings page in the table of contents before reading this book.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
