7 Customer Q&As for Human ALCAM/CD166 ELISA Kit PicoKine™
Question
Q: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for analysis CD166 using the EK0995 Human CD166 Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-11-06
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not evaluate sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may change the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample immediately after collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples in order to limit protein degradation.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for CD166 ELISA kit? I performed your CD166 ELISA on serum samples. For my positive control, I received an O.D. value of 0.826, while my negative control received a value of 0.136. I obtained both of these controls from the ELISA kit, where your kit's typical data shows O.D. values much higher than my positive control and your background is lower. My samples O.D. values are around 0.225 and the highest is only 0.357. is it safe to say these samples contain CD166 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-08-20
Answer
A: The absolute O.D. values may change according to incubation time. The more you incubate the higher the O.D. values are going to be. a point of focus should be is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. considering your assay, you could extend your development time in the substrate incubation step to obtain higher O.D. values, as long as your negative controls' O.D. values are not increasing faster in proportion to your positive controls. typically, a sample with O.D. value 2 standard deviations higher than your negative controls can be considered positive. We calculate the sensitivity of this ELISA kit by converting cutoff O.D. value, calculated as the average of 20 negative controls plus 2 standard deviations of the 20 negative controls, into a concentration. in other words, when we claim this CD166 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of CD166 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
B. Wu
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-08-08
Answer
A: although the vials are bottled using aseptic techniques, heat-treated vials, and sterile stock solutions, they are not considered or guaranteed to be sterile. If sterile material is needed for an experiment, the material can be filtered through a 0.2 micron filter designed for use with biological fluids.

Question
Q: how to thaw whole blood sample for CD166 ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-06-17
Answer
A: do not freeze and thaw whole blood. erythrocytes are fragile and, if frozen and thawed, will undergo hemolysis rendering the samples useless. To keep your blood samples to test CD166 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
Q: we need your suggestion regarding the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of CD166 in Human cell lysates? I am trying to measure a few analytes and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have low serum volumes so we like to dilute as much as possible.
B. Tiwari
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-05-19
Answer
A: without knowing the physiological or pathological context of your samples we cannot recommend a dilution ratio without performing a pilot test with your samples. Here is how you can perform a pilot study on your own: perform a serial dilution of your samples on the CD166 ELISA kit to make sure you have a linear ascending curve followed by a plateau, which signifies the samples saturating the detection limit of the kit. Then you can pick the dilution ratios from samples in the linear part of the curve as your experimental dilution ratio.
If you are interested in using our ELISA service, you can also send us your sample and we will take care of everything for you. You can check our service details here: bosterbio.com/services/assay-services/ELISA-testing-service
Since you mentioned you have limited samples, our cost effective multiplex ELISA service would fit perfectly for your needs, where we can generate dozens of data points using as little as 25ul sample volume. Information on this service is also in the above link.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated CD166 antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that change the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the CD166 antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-02-15
Answer
A: The enzyme is always active. Avoid contaminating the substrate with enzyme prior to the incubation otherwise it compromises the assay with false positive signal.
