Q: Which specific epitopes does the kit target?
A: This assay kit detects protein residuals in HEK293 cells, preventing contamination from host proteins in biological products. Multiple proteins are targeted simultaneously. The antibodies have broad coverage of approximately 90% to HEK 293 HCPs, as determined.
Q: What is the precision of the kit?
A: Precision on duplicate samples should yield average % coefficients of variation of less than 10% for samples in the range of 10-200 ng/mL. CVs for samples less than 10 ng/mL may be greater than 10%.
Q: What is the typical shelf life?
A: 6 months
Q: Are there any known interferences with any buffers?
A: Your diluents should not have sodium azide as a preservative nor significant detergent concentrations as these will reduce assay accuracy.
Q: Are there any considerations in terms of salinity/pH etc. for the buffers we need to keep in mind when loading our samples?
A: CD offers assay specific diluents for each of its kits.The formulation of diluents should be a neutral pH with some carrier protein added to block non-specific adsorptive losses of the analyte. Use of just PBS or TBS without a carrier protein can be problematic because the analyte diluted in the range of the assay (ng/mL) can very significantly adsorb to the dilution tube resulting in low recovery!
Q: When I previously asked about the linear range of the standard curve, I was referring to what portion of the sigmoid is the linear region (e.g. within 25-50% of the top standard concentration?).
A: We don't typically evaluate true upper LLOQ. I would suggest not attempting to quantify sample higher than the top point of any of our kits. In this kit the top standard would be 200 ng/mL.
