Step
Procedure
1
Reagent & Plate Preparation: Equilibrate reagents and TMB substrate to room temperature. Set standard, test sample and control (zero) wells on the pre-coated plate and record their positions.
2
Primary Incubation: Prepare standards, samples, blanks and load into designated wells. Incubate plate at 37°C for 90 minutes to allow antigen binding.
3
Biotin-Labeled Antigen Binding: Add biotin-labeled antigen working solution and incubate at 37°C for 60 minutes.
4
HRP-Streptavidin Binding: Add SABC working solution and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes.
5
Color Development: Add TMB substrate and incubate in the dark for 10–20 minutes until color develops.
6
Stop Reaction & Reading: Add stop solution and read absorbance at 450 nm immediately.
