Product Details
Intended Use
For the quantitative detection of Lomefloxacin (LOM) concentration in muscle, honey, milk, milk powder, egg, serum, and urine samples.
Assay Principle
This kit uses Competitive-ELISA as the method for the quantitative detection. It can detect lomefloxacin (LOM) in samples, such as honey, muscle, milk, milk powder, egg, etc. This kit is composed of ELISA Microtiter plate, HRP conjugate, antibody working solution, standard and other supplementary reagents. The microtiter plate in this kit has been pre-coated with coupled antigen. During the reaction, LOM in the samples or standard competes with coupled antigen on the solid phase supporter for sites of anti- LOM antibody. Then Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate is added to each microtiter plate well, and substrate reagent is added for color development. There is a negative correlation between the OD value of samples and the concentration of LOM. The concentration of LOM in the samples can be calculated by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Notes:- Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature before use.
- Turn on the microplate reader 30 min in advance to preheat the instrument and set the testing parameters.
- All experimental apparatus should be clean, and disposable pipette should be used and changed frequently to avoid cross-contamination during the experiment.
Assay Procedure
Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature (25℃) before use. All reagents should be mixed thoroughly by gently swirling before pipetting. Avoid foaming. Any unused Microtiter plate wells should be resealed as soon as possible and stored at 2-8℃.
- Number: number the samples and standards in order (multiple wells), and keep a record of the plate layout. Standards and Samples must be tested in duplicate.
- Add Sample: add 50 μL of Standard or Sample to each well, then add 50 uL HRP Conjugate, then add 50 μL Antibody Working Solution, and cover the plate with plate sealer. Oscillate gently for 5 s to mix thoroughly, then incubate at 25℃ for 45 min in the dark.
- Wash: Carefully remove the plate sealer, then remove the liquid from each well. Immediately add 300 μL of Wash Buffer (Solution 4) to each well and wash. Repeat wash procedure 5 times, 30 s intervals each time. Invert the plate and pat it against a thick sheet of absorbent paper (If there are bubbles in the wells, clean pipette tips can be used to pop them).
- Color Development: add 50 μL of Substrate Reagent A to each well, and then add 50 μL of Substrate Reagent B. Gently oscillate for 5 s to mix thoroughly. Incubate at 25℃ for 15 min in the dark (The reaction time can be extended according to the amount of color change).
- Stop Reaction: add 50 μL of Stop Solution to each well. Gently oscillate to mix thoroughly.
- OD Measurement: determine the optical density (OD value) of each well at 450 nm (reference wavelength 630 nm) with a microplate reader. This step should be performed no later than 10 min after the reaction has been stopped.
Calculation of Results
Absorbance (%) = A/A₀×100%
- A: Average absorbance of standard or sample
- A₀: Average absorbance of 0 ppb Standard
- Drawing and calculation of standard curve
- Create a standard curve by plotting the absorbance percentage of each standard on the y-axis against the log concentration on the x-axis to draw a semi-logarithmic plot. Add the average absorbance value of each sample to the standard curve to calculate the corresponding concentration. If samples have been diluted, the concentration calculated from the standard curve must be multiplied by the dilution factor.
- We recommend using professional software for fast and accurate analysis of large numbers of samples.
