Intended use

This ELISA kit applies to the in vitro quantitative determination of T3 (Total) concentrations in serum, plasma and other biological fluids.

Test principle

This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antigen specific to T3 (Total). Standards or samples are added to the micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antigen. Then a biotinylated detection antigen specific for T3 (Total) and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain T3 (Total), biotinylated detection antigen and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of T3 (Total). You can calculate the concentration of T3 (Total) in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, washing technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data is provided below for reference only.

Precision

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay):
3 samples with low, middle,high concentration of T3 (Total). And the sample of T3 (Total) were tested 30 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays):
3 samples with low, middle,high concentration of T3 (Total). And the sample of T3 (Total) were tested on 3 different plates, 30 replicates in each plate.

Recovery

Matrices listed below were spiked with certain level of T3 (Total) and the recovery rates were calculated by comparing the measured value to the expected amount of T3 (Total) in samples.

Matrix Recovery range (%) Average Recovery (%)
Serum (n=5) 93-100 97
EDTA plasma (n=5) 87-100 94
heparin plasma (n=5) 84-97 94

Linearity

The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of T3 (Total) and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.

    Serum (n=5) EDTA plasma (n=5) heparin plasma (n=5)
1:2 Range (%) 92-103 92-99 87-106
Average (%) 94 93 93
1:4 Range (%) 93-100 87-99 90-106
Average (%) 93 94 93
1:8 Range (%) 91-108 90-107 93-104
Average (%) 94 95 95
1:16 Range (%) 94-100 88-104 93-105
Average (%) 93 95 95

Stability

The stability of T3 (Total) is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of T3 (Total) is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.
