Antigen-Down Assay Diluent
Antigen-Down Assay Diluent
2. The control and test serum/plasma samples should be diluted to the proper well concentrations using one of ICT's three different Sample Diluent products. Using an ICT Sample Diluent to dilute the serum and plasma samples will also serve to help minimize the degree of nonspecific IgG binding to the antigen coated and blocked ELISA plate wells. The test (sera and plasma) samples, diluted typically to 1:40 or greater in a sample diluent, should be incubated in the antigen coated ELISA plates for 30-60 minutes at room temperature or 37 degree C.
Background: Assay Diluents are proprietary ELISA development additives designed to optimize antigen-down ELISA performance by equalizing any differences between the sample matrices (serum, plasma, urine, cell culture fluid) and the calibrator diluent used to generate the standard curve of the ELISA. Assay Diluents are intended to be added to each well of the plate (~100uL/well) just before the addition of the test samples.
Antigen-Down Assay Diluent is formulated for use with serum and plasma samples tested in antigen-down ELISA formats. Proprietary additives have been included in Antigen-Down Assay Diluent to reduce the level of nonspecific IgG adsorption to antigen-coated and blocked ELISA well surfaces, as well as enhancing the specific anti-analyte/antigen antibody signal without denaturing the plate adsorbed antigen molecules.
A mammalian protein-based buffer and a proprietary detergent additive are incorporated in the antigen-down formulation to minimize the nonspecific background signal that often occurs when analyzing human, porcine, or bovine serum samples. Antigen-Down Assay Diluent also contains the highest molar concentration of calcium chelating agents of all assay diluent product formulations.
Formulated to inhibit interference from complement and thrombin present in serum and plasma samples, Antigen-Down Assay Diluent can also be used as a Sample Diluent for plasma sample analysis in sandwich ELISA configurations. An antimicrobial agent is included in the formulation to allow for bench-top use and storage stability.

Product Notes
The Antigen-Down Assay Diluent (Catalog #AAA258393) is a Diluent and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. 1. Once the capture antigen has been coated onto the plate and the plate has been properly blocked with one of ICT's stabilizing blocker products, pipette 50-100 uL of Antigen-Down Assay Diluent into each of the wells of the ELISA plate using a multi-channel pipettor. The Assay Diluent is always added prior to adding the test and control serum/plasma samples to plate wells. 2. The control and test serum/plasma samples should be diluted to the proper well concentrations using one of ICT's three different Sample Diluent products. Using an ICT Sample Diluent to dilute the serum and plasma samples will also serve to help minimize the degree of nonspecific IgG binding to the antigen coated and blocked ELISA plate wells. The test (sera and plasma) samples, diluted typically to 1:40 or greater in a sample diluent, should be incubated in the antigen coated ELISA plates for 30-60 minutes at room temperature or 37 degree C. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Antigen-Down Assay Diluent for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Antigen-Down Assay Diluent, Diluent" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
