**Purpose:**
This ELISA kit is designed for the quantitative determination of tumor necrosis factor beta (TNF-β) in biological samples such as serum, plasma, urine, cell culture supernatants, and tissue homogenates.
**Principle of Operation:**
The kit employs a sandwich ELISA method. The microtiter plate is pre-coated with anti-TNF-β antibodies. After adding the sample, TNF-β binds to the immobilized antibody. An HRP-conjugated secondary antibody is then added, forming an immune complex. After washing, TMB substrate is added, leading to a color change that is proportional to the amount of TNF-β present. The reaction is stopped, and the absorbance is measured at 450 nm. A standard curve is plotted using known concentrations, and the sample concentration is calculated accordingly.
**Sample Preparation Instructions:**
1. **Serum:** Allow blood to clot at room temperature, centrifuge at 2000–3000 rpm for 10–20 minutes, and collect the supernatant.
2. **Plasma:** Use EDTA or sodium citrate as anticoagulant. Mix well, centrifuge, and collect the supernatant.
3. **Urine:** Centrifuge at 2000–3000 rpm for 10–20 minutes, and collect the supernatant.
4. **Cell Culture Supernatant:** Centrifuge at 2000–3000 rpm for 10–20 minutes. For intracellular components, lyse cells by repeated freeze-thaw cycles, then centrifuge again.
5. **Tissue Homogenate:** Weigh the tissue, add PBS, homogenize, centrifuge, and collect the supernatant.
6. **General Notes:** Samples should be processed as soon as possible after collection. If not tested immediately, store at -20°C, avoiding repeated freezing and thawing. Do not use samples containing NaN3, as it inhibits HRP activity.
**Procedure Summary:**
1. **Standard Dilution:** Prepare a serial dilution of the standard from 1800 ng/L down to 150 ng/L.
2. **Sample Loading:** Add 40 µL of sample diluent and 10 µL of sample into each well (final dilution 5×).
3. **Incubation:** Seal the plate and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes.
4. **Washing:** Wash the plate 5 times with diluted washing buffer.
5. **Enzyme Conjugate Addition:** Add 50 µL of enzyme-labeled reagent to each well.
6. **Second Incubation:** Repeat the incubation step.
7. **Color Development:** Add 50 µL of TMB A and B, incubate at 37°C for 15 minutes.
8. **Stop Reaction:** Add 50 µL of stop solution to each well.
9. **Measurement:** Read the OD values at 450 nm within 15 minutes of stopping the reaction.
**Important Notes:**
- Allow the kit to equilibrate at room temperature before use.
- Avoid cross-contamination by using a new sealing film for each test.
- Always prepare a standard curve and run samples in duplicate.
- Handle all reagents carefully, and dispose of waste as biohazardous material.
- Follow the manual strictly; results must be based on instrument readings.
**Performance Characteristics:**
- Linear range: 0.2 IU/L – 6 IU/L
- Correlation coefficient (R²) ≥ 0.95
- Intra-assay CV < 9%, Inter-assay CV < 11%
