Safety and Storage

Always wash hands thoroughly after using this product. Prevent direct skin and eye contact with, or ingestion of, product components. Obtain medical attention in case of accidental ingestion of reagent components.

All reagent components should be stored at the recommended temperature to assure their full shelf life. Do not store prepared working solution from day to day.

Please contact AC Diagnostics, Inc. if you have any questions about safety and storage of this product.

Preparing For The Test

                    Check all the components in the package of ELISA Reagents.

                    Prepare all of buffer solutions according to the attached buffer formulations.

                    Make sure all laboratory equipments and facilities required are ready for the test.

                    Prepare a humid box for incubation steps.

Make a copy of the attached recording sheet and create a loading diagram by recording the locations of your samples, controls, and other reagents needed.

Preparing Samples

Select symptomatic and/or infective tissues for the test. Leaf tissue is often used in ELISA testing. However, plant tissues such as stem, sprout, seed, tuber, root and others can also be tested. Remove any soil from the tissue to be tested. Because contamination with soil can interfere with ELISA tests.

AC Diagnostics’s SB3 buffer should be used as extraction buffer for most of plant sample. Grind sample with a mortar and pestle, or other grinding devices. If you are using a mortar and pestle, wash and rinse it thoroughly between samples.

If you extract plant sap, dilute the sap into SB3 sample extraction buffer at a ratio of 1:100 (sap volume: buffer volume). Or you can grind plant tissue in SB3 extraction buffer at a 1:100 ratio (tissue weight: Extraction Buffer volume).

If you have any questions about sampling, sample preparation, or the appropriate extraction buffer for your samples, please contact AC Diagnostics, Inc.

Sample Dispensing and Incubation 

                    About 100 µl of diluted sample extract is needed per test well. Always have an additional amount 
                    to assure easy dispensing. A convenient way to prepare this diluted sample is to measure 10 µl 
                    of undiluted sap into a small test tube, then add 1 ml of extraction buffer.

Dispense the prepared samples into wells of ELISA plate following your loading diagram on your recording sheet. Add 100 µl of positive control into positive control well and 100 µl of negative control or extraction buffer into negative control well.

                    Put the plate inside the humid box and incubate for 2 hours at room temperature (21-24 ° C)

Preparing Enzyme Conjugate

Always make enzyme conjugate solution within 10 minutes before use. Prepare the enzyme conjugate, using AC Diagnostics’s ECB1 buffer and a cleaning container.

The volume of ECB1 buffer required depends on the number of test wells used, with 100 µl needed per test well. To estimate the volume needed, prepare 1 ml for each 8-well strip used, or 10 ml for each 96-well plate.

The volume of enzyme conjugate required for each test is calculated based on the volume of ECB1 buffer used and on the dilutions given on the bottles. Use a new, sterile pipette tip and change the tip for each pipetting of each bottle to prevent contamination.

First dispense appropriate volume of ECB1 buffer into a cleaning container, then add enzyme conjugate bottles A and B according to the dilutions given on the label.

For example, if the dilutions given on bottles A and B are both 1:200 and you are preparing 2 ml of enzyme conjugate, you should first dispense 2 ml of ECB1 buffer. Then add 10 µl from bottle A and 10 µl from bottle B to the ECB1 buffer.

After adding the conjugates from bottles A and B, mix the conjugate solution thoroughly. If you prepare the conjugate in a test tube, invert it several times. If you prepare the conjugate in a beaker, stir the conjugate solution with a glass bar. It is important to mix the enzyme conjugate well for a consistent test result.

Prepare enzyme conjugate just before use. Keep the prepared enzyme conjugate at safe place and use it after washing the plate.

Washing Plate

Wash the plate when the incubation is complete. Use a quick flipping motion to empty the wells into a sink or waste container without mixing the contents.

Wash the plate by filling the wells with PBST, then quickly emptying them again. Repeat 6 to 8 times.

To remove drops of PBST from the wells after washing, hold the frame upside down and tap firmly on a folded paper towel.

Enzyme Conjugate Incubation

Dispense 100 µl of prepared enzyme conjugate per well.

Incubate the plate in the humid box for 2 hours at room temperature (21-24 °C).

Preparing Substrate Solution

Concentration of PNP in substrate is 1 mg/ml. Each PNP tablet will make 5 ml of PNP solution, which is enough for five 8-well strips.

Do not touch the PNP tablets or expose the PNP solution to strong light. Light or contamination could cause background color in negative wells.

Prepare PNP substrate about 10-15 minutes before the end of the above incubation step. Measure 5 ml of PNP buffer for each tablet, then add the PNP tablets to the buffer. Mix by vortexing or stirring to let the PNP tablet full dissolving in the buffer.

Washing Plate

Wash the plate 6 to 8 times with PBST as above. Then fill the wells with PBST and keep soaking the wells for 1-2 minute. Empty the wells and tap on a folded paper towel.

Incubation With Substrate 

Dispense 100 µl of PNP substrate solution per well.

Incubate the plate for 30 to 60 minutes in a humid box at room temperature (21-24 °C).

To stop reaction, add 50 µl of 3M sodium hydroxide to each well. This step is optional. The plate can be interpreted visually or with a plate reader without adding the stop solution.

Evaluating Results 

Test results can be examined by eye, or measured on a plate reader at 405 nm.

Development of yellow color in test wells indicate positive results. Wells in which there is no significant color development indicate negative results. Test results are valid only if positive control wells give a positive result and negative control wells remain clear.

Results may be interpreted after more than 60 minutes of incubation as long as negative
control wells remain virtually clear.
