**Human β2-GP1 ELISA Kit – For the Quantitative In Vitro Determination of Human β2 Glycoprotein 1 Concentrations in Serum, Plasma, Cerebrospinal Fluid, Tissue Homogenate, and Other Biological Fluids**
**FOR LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. NOT FOR USE IN DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES.**
This ELISA kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of Human β2-Glycoprotein 1 (β2-GP1) in various biological samples. The assay is based on a sandwich immunoassay principle using specific antibodies to capture and detect β2-GP1. A stop solution is added to terminate the reaction, changing the color from blue to yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured at 450 nm with a microplate reader. Calibration standards are included to generate a standard curve, which allows for accurate quantification of β2-GP1 levels in test samples.
**Intended Use:**
This kit is intended for laboratory research purposes only and is not suitable for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
**Test Principle:**
The β2-GP1 ELISA Kit utilizes a competitive or sandwich immunoassay format. The sample or standard is incubated with immobilized antibodies, followed by detection with enzyme-conjugated secondary antibodies. After washing, a chromogenic substrate is added, producing a color change that correlates with the amount of β2-GP1 present. The reaction is stopped, and absorbance is measured at 450 nm.
**Sample Collection and Storage:**
- **Serum:** Collect using a serum separator tube. Allow clotting for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight at 4°C. Centrifuge at 2000×g for 20 minutes. Store at -20°C, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
- **Plasma:** Use heparin as an anticoagulant. Centrifuge within 30 minutes at 2000×g (2–8°C). Store at -20°C.
- **Cell Culture Supernatants, Tissue Homogenates, and Other Body Fluids:** Centrifuge to remove particulates. Assay immediately or store at -20°C. Ensure no hemolysis or contamination occurs.
**Materials Required but Not Supplied:**
- Incubator at 37°C
- Microplate reader capable of measuring absorbance at 450 nm
- Precision pipettes, disposable tips, and absorbent paper
- Distilled or deionized water
**Reagents Provided (Stored at 2–8°C):**

**Important Notes:**
- Standard concentrations: 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 0.5 ng/ml.
- If sample values exceed the highest standard, dilute with sample diluent.
- Only use reagents provided by the manufacturer.
- Allow all reagents to reach room temperature (20–25°C) before use.
- Do not thaw samples or reagents using a water bath.
- Avoid using expired components.
- Use only deionized or distilled water for dilutions.
- Keep unused strip wells in sealed bags with desiccant.
- Use fresh pipette tips for each transfer to prevent cross-contamination.
**Washing Procedure:**
- Manual Washing: Aspirate plate contents, fill with 1X wash solution, aspirate again. Repeat four times. Dry by blotting.
- Automated Washing: Use 1X Wash Buffer, aspirate and wash four times. Adjust brush settings for optimal performance.
**Assay Procedure:**
1. Prepare all reagents before starting.
2. Add 50 µl of standard or sample to appropriate wells. Cover with adhesive strip and incubate at 37°C for 60 minutes.
3. Wash plate 4 times.
4. Add 50 µl of Chromogen A and B, incubate for 15 minutes at 37°C.
5. Add 50 µl Stop Solution. Measure OD at 450 nm.
6. Plot standard curve using average OD values. Calculate sample concentrations by comparing to the curve.
