1) Allow reagents, microwells, and sample extracts to reach room temperature prior to running the test.
2) Insert a sufficient number of wells into the microwell holder for all standards and samples to be tested.
3) Using a new pipette tip for each standard and sample, add 50μL of standards and prepared sample to separate wells.
4) Add 50μL of HRP Enzyme conjugate into each well, add 50μL AFM1 Antibody into each well, incubate for 30 min at room temperature.
5) Dump the contents of the wells. Turn the wells upside down and tap out on a paper towel until the remaining liquid has been removed.
6) Fill completely all the wells with working wash solution 250μL, mix for 30 seconds using a plate mixer, empty them by inverting the plate, repeat 4 times. Finally, remove the residual droplets by vigorous knocking on absorbent laboratory towels.
7) Add 50μL Substrate A and 50μL Substrate B to each well.
8) Incubate for 15 min at room temperature. Cover the wells with a paper towel to protect them from light sources.
9) Add 50μL of stop solution to each well.
10) After thorough mixing, the absorbance is measured using a microplate reader fitted with a 450nm filter.
