Product Details
Intended Use
For the quantitative detection of malachite green concentration in muscle samples.
Assay Principle
This kit uses Competitive-ELISA as the method for the quantitative detection. It can detect Malachite Green (MG) in samples, such as muscle, 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, MG in the samples or standard competes with coupled antigen on the solid phase supporter for sites of anti-MG 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 MG. The concentration of MG in the samples can be calculated by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Storage
- Store the kit at 2-8℃. Do not freeze any kit components.
- Return any unused microwells to their original foil bag and reseal them together with the desiccant provided. Continue to store at 2-8℃.
- Shelf life is approximately 12 months from date of manufacture. Check packaging for expiry date.
Sample Preparation
- Low-fat muscle (fish, shrimp):
- Remove the skin, bone and fat of fish, shrimp. Homogenize the sample, use Homogenizer.
- Weigh 1±0.05 g of homogenate sample into a 50 mL centrifuge tube. Add 0.3 mL of Acetonitrile and 6 mL of Ethyl acetate, vortex for 5 min to ensure that the sample is not caked.
- Centrifuge at 4000 r/min for 10 min at room temperature. Take 3 mL of the supernatant to 10 mL clean and dry glass tube, add 50 μL of Oxidant, vortex for 2 min, and add 50 μL of Cosolvent (Does not oscillate).
- Dry at 50℃ with nitrogen evaporators or water bath. (Please do it in a ventilated environment.) There should be 1 drop of liquid in the bottom of tube after drying.
- Add 1 mL of Reconstitution Buffer (Solution 1) and mix until dissolved fully.
- Take 50 μL for analysis.
Reagent Preparation
Solution preparation:
Prepare solutions according to the number of samples. Avoid using all components in the kit at once.
Solution 1: Reconstitution Buffer
Dilute the 10× Reconstitution Buffer with deionized water and Methanol. (10× Reconstitution Buffer (V): Deionized water (V): Methanol (V) =1:5:4), then mix fully.
Solution 2: Wash Buffer
Dilute 20×Concentrated Wash Buffer with deionized water (20×Concentrated Wash Buffer (V): Deionized water (V) = 1:19).
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
Restore all reagents and samples to room temperature (25℃) before use. All the reagents should be mixed thoroughly by gently swirling before pipetting. Avoid foaming. The unused ELISA Microtiter plate should be sealed as soon as possible and stored at 2-8℃.
- Standard Preparation:
- Prepare the Standard Liquid. Standard Liquid of low concentration is unstable, prepare fresh solution before use.
- Take 3 mL of Reconstitution Buffer (Solution 1) into 0 ppb bottle. Take 1.5 mL of Reconstitution Buffer (Solution 1) into 0.025 ppb bottle, 0.05 bottle, 0.1 ppb bottle, 0.2 ppb bottle respectively. Take 2.88 mL of Reconstitution Buffer (Solution 1) into 0.4 ppb bottle.
- Standard Liquid 6: Take 120 μL of High Concentrated Standard (10 ppb) into 0.4 ppb bottle, then mix fully. The concentration of Standard Liquid 6 is 0.4 ppb.
- Standard Liquid 5: Take 1.5 mL of Standard Liquid 6 into 0.2 ppb bottle, then mix fully. The concentration of Standard Liquid 5 is 0.2 ppb.
- Standard Liquid 4: Take 1.5 mL of Standard Liquid 5 into 0.1 ppb bottle, then mix fully. The concentration of Standard Liquid 4 is 0.1 ppb.
- Standard Liquid 3: Take 1.5 mL of Standard Liquid 4 into 0.05 ppb bottle, then mix fully. The concentration of Standard Liquid 3 is 0.05 ppb.
- Standard Liquid 2: Take 1.5 mL of Standard Liquid 3 into 0.025 ppb bottle, then mix fully. The concentration of Standard Liquid 2 is 0.025 ppb.
- Standard Liquid 1: Use Reconstitution Buffer (Solution 1) directly. The concentration of Standard Liquid 1 is 0 ppb.
- Assay Procedure:
- 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 μL Antibody Working Solution, and cover the plate with plate sealer. Oscillate gently for 5 s to mix thoroughly, then incubate at 25℃ for 30 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 2) 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).
- HRP Conjugate: add 100 μL of HRP Conjugate to each well, incubate at 25℃ for 30 min in the dark.
- Wash: repeat step 3.
- 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 for 10 s 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.
