Mouse IL-6(Interleukin 6) ELISA Kit

1. Microplate reader (wavelength: 450nm)
2. 37°C incubator (CO2 incubator for cell culture is not recommenced.)
3. Automated plate washer or multi-channel pipette/5ml pipettor (for manual washing purpose)
4. Precision single (0.5-10μL, 5-50μL, 20-200μL, 200-1000μL) and multi-channel pipette with disposable tips(Calibration is required before use.)
5. Sterile tubes and Eppendorf tubes with disposable tips
6. Absorbent paper and loading slot
7. Deionized or distilled water

• Step 1: Add 100ul standard or sample into each well, seal the plate and statically incubate for 90 minutes at 37°C.
• Washing: Wash the plate twice without immersing.
• Step 2: Add 100ul biotin-antibody working solution, seal the plate and statically incubate for 60 minutes at 37°C.
• Washing: Wash the plate three times and immerse for 1min each time.
• Step 3: Add 100ul HRP-Streptavidin Conjugate (SABC) working solution, seal the plate and statically incubate for 30 minutes at 37°C.
• Washing: Wash the plate five times and immerse for 1min each time.
• Step 4: Add 90ul TMB substrate solution, seal the plate and statically incubate for 10-20 minutes at 37°C. (Accurate TMB visualization control is required.)
• Step 5: Add 50ul stop solution. Read at 450nm immediately and calculate.

This product is detected by QC department and meets performance required in the manual. (Laboratory Humidity: 20%-60%; Temperature: 18°C -25°C; Equilibrate TMB substrate to 37°C before staining. After adding into the ELISA wells, incubate for 15min at 37°C in dark.)

Due to different assay environments and operations, assay data below and standard curve are provided for reference. Experimenters should establish standard curve according to their own assay.

Add a certain amount of IL-6 into the sample. Calculate the recovery by comparing the measured value with the expected amount of IL-6 in the sample.

Dilute the sample with a certain amount of IL-6 at 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8 to get the recovery range.

Intra-assay Precision: samples with low, medium and high concentration are tested 20 times on the same plate.

Inter-assay Precision: samples with low, medium and high concentration are tested 20 times on three different plates.

Perform the stability test for the sealed kit at 37°C and 2-8°C and get relevant data.
