Human TIMP-4 Immuno-PCR Assay Kit, BIQ-ELISA™
The Human Bead-based Immuno-Quantitative (BIQ) TIMP-4 ELISA Kit merges the specificity of sandwich-based ELISA, the sensitivity of real-time PCR, and the easy manipulation of microspheres to detect even the lowest levels of TIMP-4 in serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatant samples.

Additional Materials Required
- Real-time PCR instrument, Bio-Rad or QuantStudio™ recommended
- Orbital 96-well plate shaker (with ability to reach 700 rpm)
- Microplate Washer (BioTek 405 TS Washer recommended) and a compatible 96-well V-bottom plate magnetic stand (ThermoFisher AM10050 recommended)
- Precision pipettes to deliver 1 μL to 1 mL volumes
- Pipette tips (barrier tips are recommended to reduce contamination)
- Adjustable 1-25 mL pipettes for reagent preparation
- Centrifuge that can spin 96 well plates at 500 g
- Nuclease-free water or deionized water
- 1.5 mL, 2 mL, or 5 mL microcentrifuge tubes
Assay Procedure Summary
- Prepare all reagents, samples and standards as instructed.
- 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.
- Add 40 μL Assay Diluent and wash the plate using a Microplate Washer.
- Add 40 μL Elution buffer to each well. Incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Prepare PCR/Primer Master Mix and pipette 15 μL into each well of the PCR plate.
- Transfer 5 μL supernatant from V-bottom plate to the PCR plate.
- Run real-time PCR.
Storage/Stability
Upon receiving the kit, store 2X PCR Master Mix, Primer Mix and Lyophilized 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.
