過(guò)敏原標準品: Purified natural Ara h 2 prepared in 1% BSA/50% glycerol/PBS, pH 7.4.

濃度: 2,500 ng/mL (based on amino acid analysis)

操作步驟：

1. Prepare a 1x dilution of wash and assay buffers from the 10x concentrates in clean containers using 18.2MΩ de-ionized water or Type I ultrapure water. For one plate: Wash buffer: add 15mL concentrate to 135mL water (150mL total volume) Assay buffer: add 3mL concentrate to 27mL water (30mL total volume) Adjust volumes accordingly for multi-plate assays. Diluted buffers may be stored at 4 oC for up to 1 week. The example below is for testing 6 samples starting at 1/10 dilution. A multichannel pipet is recommended for mixing and transferring between wells. ? Highly concentrated samples will require pre-dilution before adding to the plate.

2. Remove the plate from the foil pouch. Add 150μL wash buffer to each well. Empty the wells by inverting the plate and then tap on absorbent paper to remove residual buffer. Repeat the wash cycle two times. *Move directly to the next step to prevent the wells from drying.

3. Add 100μL assay buffer to all wells. Add an additional 80μL of assay buffer to wells A1-H1 (the total volume of assay buffer in these wells will be 180μL; all other wells will have 100μL).

4. Standard: gently vortex the Ara h 2 standard and add 20μL to wells A1 and B1. Mix by pipetting up and down 8-10 times, and then transfer 100μL into wells A2 and B2. Mix and continue the doubling dilution scheme across the plate to wells A10 and B10. Remove and discard 100μL from wells A10 and B10 (100μL will remain). The assay buffer in wells A11, B11 and A12, B12 will serve as Blanks. Samples: add 20μL of sample to wells C1-H1. Mix by pipetting up and down 8-10 times. Transfer 100μL to wells C2-H2. Continue mixing and transferring to column 12. Remove and discard 100μL from wells C12-H12 (100μL will remain). When finished preparing the plate, the final volume in all wells should be 100μL.

5. Cover the plate and incubate for 1 hour ± 10 minutes at room temperature (20-25oC) away from direct sunlight. Note: gentle agitation on a plate shaker during incubations may reduce variability.

6. Gently vortex the polyclonal detection antibody and prepare a 1:1,000 detection antibody and conjugate mix by adding 11μL polyclonal antibody and 11μL peroxidase goat anti-rabbit to 11mL assay buffer in a reagent reservoir. Mix thoroughly. Wash the plate 3x with 150μL wash buffer per well. Add 100μL of the detection antibody/ conjugate mix to each well.

7. Incubate the plate for 1 hour ± 10 minutes at room temperature (20-25oC) away from direct sunlight.

8. Pour the TMB substrate and stop solution into separate reagent reservoirs so they are ready to use in Step

9. Wash the plate 3x with 150μL wash buffer per well. 9. Use a multi-channel pipette to add 100μL TMB to each well and monitor the reaction as the blue color develops. Once OD450 reaches 0.08-0.09 for Standard 1, use a multi-channel pipette to add 50μL stop solution to each well (the color will change to yellow).

10. Gently tap the plate to ensure homogeneity and measure the absorbance at 450nm within 30 minutes. The OD for Standard 1 should be between 1.2 and 3.5.
