Sample
Urine, whole blood, oral fluid and other forensic samples
Intended Use
This kit is a qualitative one-step kit designed for use as a screening device for the detection of Acetaminophen and/or their metabolites in human urine, blood or oral fluid.
Contents of Kit
1. EIA Buffer, 30 mL (ready-to-use). Phosphate buffered saline solution with bovine serum and a preservative. Provided for dilution of samples.
2. Wash Buffer Concentrate (10X), 20 mL. Phosphate buffered saline solution with a surfactant. Dilute 10 fold with deionized or ultrapure water before use. Diluted wash buffer is used to wash all unbound conjugate and samples from the plate after the conjugate incubation.
3. Substrate, 20 mL (ready-to-use). Stabilized 3, 3', 5, 5' Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) plus Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) in a single bottle. It is used to develop the color in the wells after washing. Light Sensitive.
4. Drug-Enzyme Conjugate, 14 mL (ready-to-use). Drug-horseradish peroxidase conjugate. Do not dilute.
5. Antibody Coated Plate, A 96-well Costar plate, in strips of 8 break-away wells, coated with anti-drug antiserum. The plate is ready for use as is. Do not wash.
6. Acid Stop Solution, 14 mL (ready-to-use). 1N H2SO4 used to stop the enzyme reaction.
7. Qualitative QC Positive Control, 750 μL provided (synthetic human urine). Do not dilute.
8. Qualitative QC Negative Control, 750 μL provided (synthetic human urine). Do not dilute.
Storage
This kit can be used until the expiration date on the label when stored refrigerated at 2-8°C. Store controls frozen if not used within 10 days. Note: Some kits require controls to be stored frozen immediately upon receipt. Reference kit label for details.
Sensitivity
The I-50 in EIA Buffer is 402 ng/mL. In Whole Blood with a 1:5 dilution (1 part sample to 4 parts EIA buffer), the I-50 is 1,687 ng/mL. In Whole Blood with a 1:10 dilution (1 part sample to 9 parts EIA buffer), the I-50 is 2,817 ng/mL. In Whole Blood with a 1:50 dilution (1 part sample to 49 parts EIA buffer), the I-50 is 13,629 ng/mL.
The I-50 in Urine with a 1:10 dilution (1 part sample to 9 parts EIA buffer) is 8,410 ng/mL. The I-50 in Urine plus Sodium Azide with a 1:50 dilution (1 part sample to 49 parts EIA buffer) is 24,469 ng/mL.
The term I-50 is used to define the sensitivity of the test. This number is derived from a standard curve
generated with the drug in EIA Buffer. The drug concentration that shows 50% less color activity than the zerostandard is considered to be the I-50.
General Description
The Acetaminophen ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) test kit is a qualitative one-step kit designed for use as a screening device for the detection of drugs and/or their metabolites. The kit was designed for screening purposes and is intended for forensic use only. It is recommended that all suspect samples be confirmed by a quantitative method such as gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
