Attributs du produit: The Cortisol Immunoassay kit is designed to quantitatively measure cortisol present in dried fecal extracts, saliva, urine, serum, plasma and culture media samples. This kit measures total cortisol in extracted samples, serum and plasma and free cortisol in saliva and urine. A cortisol standard is provided to generate a standard curve for the assay. Standards or diluted samples are pipetted into a clear microtiter plate coated with an antibody to capture mouse antibodies. A cortisol-peroxidase conjugate is added to the standards and samples in the wells. The binding reaction is initiated by the addition of a monoclonal antibody to cortisol to each well. After an 1 hour incubation the plate is washed and substrate is added. The substrate reacts with the bound cortisol-peroxidase conjugate. After a short incubation the color reaction is read at 450nm. Cortisol is the primary glucocorticoid produced and secreted by the adrenal cortex. It is often referred to as the 'stress hormone' as it is involved in the response to stress and it affects blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and other actions of stress adaptation. Immunologically, cortisol functions as an important anti-inflammatory and plays a role in hypersensitivity, immunosuppression, and disease resistance. In the metabolic aspect, cortisol promotes gluconeogenesis, liver glycogen deposition, and the reduction of glucose utilization. Production of cortisol follows an ACTH-dependent circadian rhythm, with a peak level in the morning and decreasing levels throughout the day. Most serum cortisol, all but about 4%, is bound to proteins including corticosteroid binding globulin and serum albumin. Only free cortisol is available to most receptors and it is through these receptors that physiological processes are modulated. Abnormal cortisol levels are being evaluated for correlation with a variety of different conditions, such as prostate cancer, depression, and schizophrenia. It is already known that abnormal levels of cortisol are involved in Cushing's Syndrome and Addison's disease.

Information d'application

Indications d'application: Cortisol is identical across all species and this kit will measure cortisol from sources other than human.
The end user should evaluate recoveries of cortisol in other samples.
This assay has been validated for saliva, urine, serum and EDTA and heparin plasma and for tissue culture samples.
It has been validated for dried fecal extract samples.
Samples containing particulates should be centrifuged prior to using.
Moderate to severely hemolyzed samples should not be used in this kit.

Durée du test: 1.5 h

Plaque: Pre-coated

Protocole: Total cortisol is measured in extracted samples and in serum and plasma and free cortisol in saliva and urine.
A cortisol standard is provided to generate a standard curve for the assay and all samples must be read off a user-generated standard curve.
Standards or diluted samples are pipetted into a clear microtiter plate coated with an antibody to capture mouse antibodies.
A cortisol-peroxidase conjugate is added to the wells.
The binding reaction is initiated by the addition of a monoclonal antibody to cortisol.
The immunological reaction occurs between the limiting amount of added anti-cortisol monoclonal antibody, the cortisol antigen in the sample or standard, and the limiting amount of added cortisol-peroxidase conjugate.
As the concentration of cortisol in the sample increases, the amount of cortisol-peroxidase conjugate bound decreases causing an decrease in signal, and vice versa.
The signal is generated from the cortisol-peroxidase bound to the anti-cortisol antibody which itself is bound to the goat anti-mouse IgG coated plates.
Excess cortisol-peroxidase does not bind to the plates and is washed out of the well prior to the addition of substrate. After an hour incubation the plate is washed and substrate is added.
The substrate reacts with the bound cortisol-peroxidase conjugate.
After a short incubation, the reaction is stopped and the intensity of the generated color is detected in a microtiter plate reader at 450 nm wavelength.
The concentration of the cortisol in the sample is calculated, after making suitable correction for the dilution of the sample, using software available with most plate readers.

Préparation de l'échantillon:

Serum and plasma samples need to be treated with the supplied Dissociation Reagent. Addition of this reagent will yield the total cortisol concentration in serum or plasma. Dissociation reagent is to be used only with serum and Plasma samples. Free cortisol can be measured in saliva and urine samples as directed below. Dried Fecal samples We have a detailed Extraction Protocol available on our website at: www.arborassays.com/assets/ steroid-solid-extraction-protocol.pdf. The ethanol concentration in the final Assay Buffer dilution added to the well should be <5 % . serum and Plasma samples The normal reference range for human serum cortisol is 2-25 μg/dL (20-250 ng/mL)8. Allow the Dissociation Reagent (DR) to warm completely to room temperature before use. We suggest pipeting 5 μL of DR into 1 mL Eppendorf tubes. Add 5 μL of serum or plasma to the DR in the tube, vortex gently and incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes or longer. Dilute by adding 490 μL of supplied Assay Buffer. This 1:100 dilution can be diluted further with Assay Buffer for higher cortisol sample concentrations. Final serum and plasma dilutions must be ≥ 1:100. notE: Dissociation reagent is to be used only with serum and Plasma samples. saliva samples Saliva samples should be diluted ≥ 1:4 or greater with the supplied Assay Buffer prior running in the assay. See our Saliva Sample Handling Instructions at www.arborassays.com/assets/saliva-sample-protocol.pdf. Urine samples Urine samples should be diluted ≥ 1:8 with the supplied Assay Buffer prior running in the assay. Urinary cortisol normally ranges from 0.7-119 μg/gram9 of creatinine or approximately 100,000 to 1,000,000 pg/mL9 in 24 hour urine samples. Samples may need to be diluted substantially to read within the standard curve range.

Procédure de l'essai:

We recommend that all standards and samples be run in duplicate to allow the end user to accurately determine cortisol concentrations.
1. Use the plate layout sheet on the back page to aid in proper sample and standard identification.
2. If you are using the 1 by 8 well strip plate version of the kit, K003-H1 or -H5, determine the number of wells to be used and return unused wells to foil pouch with desiccant. Seal the ziploc plate bag and store at 4ºC. Pipet standards or samples down the plate strip columns (A to H) to ensure maximum use of the strip wells. The use of any wells in the whole plate versions of the kit, K003-H1W and K003-H5W will not allow use of unused parts of that plate in a later assay.
3. Pipet 50 μL of samples or standards into wells in the plate.
4. Pipet 75 μL of Assay Buffer into the non-specific binding (NSB) wells.
5. Pipet 50 μL of Assay Buffer into wells to act as maximum binding wells (Bo or 0 pg/mL).
6. Add 25 μL of the DetectX® Cortisol Conjugate to each well using a repeater pipet.
7. Add 25 μL of the DetectX® Cortisol Antibody to each well, except the NsB wells, using a repeater pipet.
8. Gently tap the sides of the plate to ensure adequate mixing of the reagents. Cover the plate with the plate sealer and shake at room temperature for 1 hour.
9. Aspirate the plate and wash each well 4 times with 300 μL wash buffer. Tap the plate dry on clean absorbent towels. 10. Add 100 μL of the TMB Substrate to each well, using a repeater pipet. 11. Incubate the plate at room temperature for 30 minutes without shaking. 12. Add 50 μL of the Stop Solution to each well, using a repeater pipet. 13. Read the optical density generated from each well in a plate reader capable of reading at 450 nm. 14. Use the plate reader's built-in 4PLC software capabilities to calculate cortisol concentration for each sample. NOTE: If you are using only part of a strip well plate, at the end of the assay throw away the used wells and retain the plate frame for use with the remaining unused wells.

Calcul des résultats:

Average the duplicate OD readings for each standard and sample.
Create a standard curve by reducing the data using the 4PLC fitting routine on the plate reader, after subtracting the mean OD's for the NSB.
The sample concentrations obtained, calculated from the %B/B0 curve, should be multiplied by the dilution factor to obtain neat sample values.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
