Human Zika virus (Zika virus) ELISA Kit instruction
Intended use
This Zika virus ELISA kit is intended Laboratory for Research use only and is not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm using a spectrophotometer. In order to measure the concentration of Zika virus in the sample, this Zika virus ELISA Kit includes a set of calibration standards. The calibration standards are assayed at the same time as the samples and allow the operator to produce a standard curve of Optical Density versus Zika virus concentration. The concentration of Zika virus in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
Sample collection and storages
Serum - Use a serum separator tube and allow samples to clot for 30 minutesbefore centrifugation for 10 minutes at approximately 3000×g. Remove serum and assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at -20℃ or -80℃.Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
Plasma - Collect plasma using EDTA or heparin as an anticoagulant. Centrifugesamples for 30 minutes at 3000×g at 2-8℃ within 30 minutes of collection. Store samples at -20℃or -80℃. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Cell culture supernates and other biological fluids -Remove particulatesby centrifugation and assay immediately or aliquot and store samples at -20℃or -80℃. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Note: The samples shoule be centrifugated dequately and no hemolysis orgranule was allowed.

Precautions
Do not substitute reagents from one kit to another. Standard, conjugate and microplates are matched for optimal performance. Use only the reagents supplied by manufacturer.
Do not remove microplate from the storage bag until needed. Unused strips should be stored at 2-8°C in their pouch with the desiccant provided.
Mix all reagents before using.
Remove all kit reagents from refrigerator and allow them to reach room temperature
( 20-25°C)

Assay procedure
1.
Prepare all r e a g e n t s before starting assay procedure. It is recommended that
all Standards and Samples be added in duplicate to the Microelisa Stripplate.
2.
Separately add Positive control and Negative control 50μl to the Positive and
Negative well, Add testing sample 10μl Then add sample diluent 40μl to testing sample well; Blank well doesn’t add anyting.
Add 100μl of HRP-conjugate reagent to each well, cover with an adhesive strip and incubate for 60 minutes at 37°C.
Aspirate each well and wash, repeating the process four times for a total of five washes. Wash by filling each well with Wash Solution (400μl) using a squirt bottle, manifold dispenser or autowasher. Complete removal of liquid at each step is essential to good performance. After the last wash, remove any remaining Wash Solution by aspirating or decanting. Invert the plate and blot it against clean paper towels.
Add chromogen solution A 50μl and chromogen solution B 50μl to each well. Gently mix and incubate for 15 minutes at 37°C. Protect from light.
Add 50μl Stop Solution to each well. The color in the wells should change from blue to yellow. If the color in the wells is green or the color change does not appear uniform, gently tap the plate to ensure thorough mixing.
Read the Optical Density (O.D.) at 450 nm using a microtiter plate reader within 15 minutes.
