Notes on 023299J

Positive Control
Intended Use

The positive control is from an equine serum sample known to contain the target protein. It will provide a positive result in the ELISA assay, which indicates that the kit is optimized and working properly.
Characteristics

The positive control vial contains equine aFP in equine serum (lyophilized powder). Note: The equine based serum used in this product is from healthy equine of SPF standard (specific pathogen-free animals).
Expected Values

42.8pg/ml
Usage

Dissolve with 150ul standard diluent and let stand for 10 minutes. If powder is partly insoluble, shake gently until fully dissolved. Mix gently before use. In the experiment, add 100ul to an appropriate well of the plate and test its concentration along with standards and your specimens. Note: Upon receipt store Positive Control vial at -20?C. After reconstitution, store Positive Control vial at 4?C and use within 5 days.
Assay Procedure Summary
