| Precision | | Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): CV%<15% | | | | | Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess. | | | Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): CV%<15% | | | | | Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty assays to assess. | | | | | | | | | | |
|
| Linearity | | To assess the linearity of the assay, samples were spiked with high concentrations of rat testosteronen in various matrices and diluted with the Sample Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay. | | | Sample | Serum(n=4) | | | 1:1 | Average % | 91 | | | Range % | 86-96 | | | 1:2 | Average % | 97 | | | Range % | 92-104 | | | 1:4 | Average % | 85 | | | Range % | 81-88 | | | 1:8 | Average % | 89 | | | Range % | 83-93 | |
|
| Recovery | | The recovery of rat testosterone spiked to levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated. Samples were diluted prior to assay as directed in the Sample Preparation section. | |
| Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range | | | Serum (n=5) | 90 | 87-95 | | | EDTA plasma (n=4) | 94 | 90-98 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Materials provided | - A 96-well Assay plate -- The 96-well plate has been pre-coated with goat-anti-rabbit Testosterone antibody.
- Standard 6 x 0.5 ml -- Dilute the standard at dilution series, read the OD values, and then draw a standard curve.
- Anti-Testosterone Antibody 1 x 6 ml -- Act as the detection antibody.
- HRP-conjugated Testosterone 1 x 6 ml -- Bind to the DHT antibody, and HRP catalyzes the substrate A and B to elicit a chromogenic reaction.
- Wash Buffer (20 x concentrate) 1 x 15 ml -- Wash away unbound or free substances.
- Substrate A 1 x 7 ml -- Mix with substrate B, and the TMB is catalyzed by HRP to develop color.
|
| Materials not provided | - A microplate reader capable of measuring absorbance at 450 nm, with the correction wavelength set at 600 nm - 630 nm.
- An incubator that can provide stable incubation conditions up to 37°C±5°C.
- Centrifuge
- Vortex
- Squirt bottle, manifold dispenser, or automated microplate washer
- Absorbent paper for blotting the microtiter plate
