Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Human COMP/Thrombospondin 5 ELISA Kit PicoKine™ within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.

10 Customer Q&As for Human COMP/Thrombospondin 5 ELISA Kit PicoKine™
Question
Q: can you suggest the dilution ratio of serum samples for detection of COMP in Human serum? I am trying to measure a few analytes and it requires 100ul of diluted samples for each well. We have low serum quantitys so we like to dilute as much as possible.
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-03-21
Answer
A: unable to know 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 COMP 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: what is the protocol regarding preparation of cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-09-30
Answer
A: in those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate are present in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer may affect immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question
Q: which procedure should I follow in order to thaw whole blood sample for COMP ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-02-27
Answer
A: we do not recommend freezing 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 COMP for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
Q: how long can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measuring COMP using the EK0913 Human COMP Picokine® ELISA Kit?
V. Dayal
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-12-27
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 right after collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. limit repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples in order to limit protein degradation.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for COMP ELISA kit? I performed your COMP 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 COMP even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-04-19
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. an important assessment should be is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. in the above example, 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. normally, 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 changeing 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 COMP ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of COMP that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.
