It is recommended that all standards, controls and
unknown samples be assayed in duplicate. The average
absorbance reading of each duplicate should be used for
data reduction and the calculation of results.
For samples with higher than level 5 standard, it is
recommended to measure diluted the specimen with an appropriate GLP-1 free human serum matrix for a more accurate report.
Keep light sensitive reagents in the original amber bottles.
Store any unused streptavidin coated strips in the foil
