Catalog # 696006 – 48 tests

Description

Microplate Enzyme-Immunoassay for the qualitative detection of enteric Adenovirus serotypes 40 and 41 in human stools specimens.

Features

-          Detection of serotypes 40 and 41 of human adenovirus

-          Break-away microtiter strips

-          Room temperature incubations

-          Visual or spectrophotometer reading

Specimen handling

The stool specimen, collected in an empty container, can be stored up to 3 days at 2-8°C before testing.

If testing is not performed within this time frame, specimens should be frozen upon receipt (-20°C to -80°C).

Kit Components

Group specific anti-Adenovirus antibody coated microwells, Positive control, Sample diluent / Negative control, 40-41 serotypes specific Enzyme conjugate, Part A substrate, Part B substrate, Stop solution, Transfer pipets, Strip holder.

Assay Protocol:

1.    Wiith the transfer pipet, add a portion of stool into 1 ml of sample diluent in a test tube.

2.    Transfer 2 drops (100 µl) of diluted stools and undiluted controls in the appropriate wells.

3.    Add 2 drops (100 µl) of enzyme conjugate to each well, mix and incubate at room temperature for 60 minutes.

4.    Wash 5 times with deionized water.

5.    Add 2 drops (100 µl) of substrate A to each microwell.

6.    Add 2 drops (100 µl) of substrate B to each microwell, and incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes.

7.    Add 2 drops (100 µl) of stop solution, and read at 450 nm or visually.

Storage

The kit must be stored at 2-8°C.
