Introduction

The RayBio® Bead-based Immuno Quantitative Enzyme Linked ImumunoSorbent Assay (BIQ-ELISA) is an innovative protein detection method that merges the specificity of sandwich-based ELISA, the sensitivity of real-time PCR, and the easy manipulation of magnetic microspheres. In this system, the capture antibody (CAB) is biotin-labelled and pre-absorbed onto streptavidin-coated beads (CAB-Biotin-SA-Beads), while the detection antibody (DAB) is conjugated with a unique oligonucleotide acid (ONA) barcode for signal amplification (DAB-ONA).

The procedure is straightforward and a total of four hours is required to complete the assay. Part 1: The formation and purification of the immunocomplex (ONA-DAB-Antigen-CAB-Biotin-SA-Beads). Samples are incubated with DAB-ONA and CAB-Biotin-SA-Beads in a supplied 96-well plate. In the presence of the target protein, the DAB-ONA binds to the target and attaches to the CAB-Biotin-SA-Beads via the biotin-streptavidin interaction and the unbound proteins are removed through washing with a magnetic automated washer. Part 2: PCR amplification. The bound immunocomplex will be released from the beads and transferred as the template for qPCR. Primers and PCR master mix are added to the wells and data will be collected using qPCR. Ct values obtained from the qPCR are then used to calculate the amount of antigen contained in each sample, where lower Ct values indicate a higher concentration of antigen. In a real experiment, a set of target protein standards with known concentrations will be run simultaneously to generate a standard curve for quantifying unknown samples.

The RayBio® BIQ-ELISA technology represents a significant advancement in protein detection assays, providing an ultrasensitive and highly specific method for quantifying proteins in biological samples. This technology's ability to combine multiple advantages of existing methods into a single, easy-to-use platform makes it a powerful tool for research community. The RayBio® BIQ-ELISA kits can be used for the quantitative measurement of proteins in various sample types including serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants with femtogram per milliliter detection sensitivity.

Assay Procedure Summary

  1. Prepare all reagents, samples and standards as instructed.
  2. Add 5 μL of the bead and conjugate mix, and 5 μL of each standard and sample to each well. Incubate for 2.5 hours at room temperature while shaking.
  3. Add 40 μL Assay Diluent and wash the plate using a Microplate Washer.
  4. Add 40 μL Elution buffer to each well. Incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Prepare PCR/Primer Master Mix and pipette 15 μL into each well of the PCR plate.
  6. Transfer 5 μL supernatant from V-bottom plate to the PCR plate.
  7. Run real-time PCR.

Storage/Stability

Upon receiving the kit, store 2X PCR Master Mix, Primer Mix and Human IL-6 Standard at -20°C. Store other components at 4°C. If stored at the proper temperature, the kit may be stored for up to 12 months from the date of shipment. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
