Background of Endothelin
The endothelins is a family of structurally and pharmacologically distinct peptides, which has been identified and sequenced in humans. Three isoforms of Chinese hamster endothelin have been identified: endothelin-1, -2, and -3. Endothelin-1 is a potent, 21-amino acid vasoconstrictor peptide produced by vascular endothelial cells. Endothelins are 21-amino acid vasoconstricting peptides produced primarily in the endothelium having a key role in vascular homeostasis. Endothelins are implicated in vascular diseases of several organ systems, including the heart, general circulation and brain. Endothelins are proteins that constrict blood vessels and raise blood pressure. They are normally kept in balance by other mechanisms, but when they are over-expressed, they contribute to high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart disease.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Chinese Hamster Endothelin ELISA Kit PicoKine® within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.

Question
Q: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for analysis Endothelin-1 using the EK0945-HA Chinese Endothelin-1 Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-12-21
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not evaluate sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may change the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample on-stat collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. limit repetitive freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples to avoid protein degradation.

Question
Q: what is the protocol regarding preparation of cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-05-22
Answer
A: for those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate are included in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer can effect immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question
Q: how many samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
M. Bhatt
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-11-19
Answer
A: The Picokine® ELISA Kits will generally run a 7-point standard curve, non-specific binding wells, and 39 samples in duplicate. this may vary slightly by kit so please refer to each datasheet for details.

Question
Q: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Chinese Endothelin-1 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0945-HA)?
H. Hill
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-09-25
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can attach metal ions from the functional domain of Endothelin-1 causing disruption of its protein structure. Endothelin-1 may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes needed for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the Endothelin-1 ELISA, treating samples with a number of anticoagulants and decided that heparin or EDTA can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
Q: how to thaw whole blood sample for Endothelin-1 ELISA after freezing?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-11-13
Answer
A: we do not recommend freezing and thaw whole blood. erythrocytes are fragile and, if frozen and thawed, will undergo hemolysis rendering the samples useless. To keep your blood samples to test Endothelin-1 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for Endothelin-1 ELISA kit? I used your Endothelin-1 ELISA on serum samples. For my positive control, I received an O.D. value of 0.826, while my negative control received a value of 0.136. I obtained both of these controls from the ELISA kit, where your kit's typical data shows O.D. values much higher than my positive control and your background is lower. My samples O.D. values are around 0.225 and the highest is only 0.357. is it safe to say these samples contain Endothelin-1 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
T. Green
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-11-11
Answer
A: The absolute O.D. values may change according to incubation time. The more you incubate the higher the O.D. values are going to be. an important assessment should be is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. in the above example, you could extend your development time in the substrate incubation step to obtain higher O.D. values, as long as your negative controls' O.D. values are not increasing faster in relation to your positive controls. typically, a sample with O.D. value 2 standard deviations higher than your negative controls can be considered positive. We calculate the sensitivity of this ELISA kit by changeing cutoff O.D. value, calculated as the average of 20 negative controls plus 2 standard deviations of the 20 negative controls, into a concentration. in other words, when we claim this Endothelin-1 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 0.5pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of Endothelin-1 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 0.5pg/ml.

Asked: 2015-01-11
Answer
A: although the vials are bottled using aseptic techniques, heat-treated vials, and sterile stock solutions, they are not considered or guaranteed to be sterile. If sterile material is needed for an experiment, the material can be filtered through a 0.2 micron filter designed for use with biological fluids.
