Effect of Hemolysis: Almost no effect of hemolysis tested up to 20mg/ml.

Summary of Assay
Ultra Sensitive Mouse Insulin ELISA Kit (Catalog# 90080)

Low/Wide and High Range Assay

Affix the antibody-coated microplate module on the frame

Dispense 95µl sample diluent per well

Pipette 5µl of the sample (or working mouse insulin standard**) to the well

Incubate the microplate for 2 hours at 4°C.

Wash the well five times with washing buffer

Dispense 100µl anti-insulin enzyme conjugate per well

Incubate microplate for 30 minutes at room temperature

Wash each well seven times with washing buffer

Dispense 100µl enzyme substrate solution per well

Incubate microplate at room temperature while avoiding exposure to light

40 minutes- 10 minutes-
low/wide range assay high range assay

Stop the reaction by adding 100µl Enzyme reaction stop solution per well

Measure the absorbance at A_450nm and subtract A_630nm values within 30 minutes

Calculate the mouse insulin concentration using the standard curve

*Each well should be washed with 300µl of wash buffer. Aspirate the wells completely so all

excess solution is removed.

** Preparation of standards are different for both low and high range assay. Please refer to the
product insert for more details
