Background of SMPD1
Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 (SMPD1), also known as acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SMPD1 gene. This gene is mapped to 11p15.4. The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase that converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. The encoded protein also has phospholipase C activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPA) and Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPB). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 belongs to the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase family.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Human SMPD1 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.

7 Customer Q&As for Human SMPD1 ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: is it okay to use EDTA plasma as samples in Human SMPD1 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK2025)?
Z. Allen
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-12-23
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can sequester metal ions from the functional domain of SMPD1 causing degradation of its protein structure. SMPD1 may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes needed for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the SMPD1 ELISA, treating samples with different anticoagulants and decided that heparin can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated SMPD1 antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that convert the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the SMPD1 antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-11-13
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.

Question
Q: how long can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for quantification SMPD1 using the EK2025 Human SMPD1 Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-12-30
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not assess sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may alter 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: how much samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
C. Moore
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-12-27
Answer
A: The Picokine® ELISA Kits will generally run a 7-point standard curve, non-specific binding wells, and 39 samples in duplicate. this may vary slightly by kit so please refer to each datasheet for details.

Question
Q: what is the protocol regarding preparation of cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-01-31
Answer
A: in those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate can be found in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer can have an affect on immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-05-22
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 required for an experiment, the material can be filtered through a 0.2 micron filter designed for use with biological fluids.
