Background of Glutaminyl-peptide Cyclotransferase/QPCT
Glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the QPCT gene. It is mapped to 2p22.2. This gene encodes human pituitary glutaminyl cyclase, which is responsible for the presence of pyroglutamyl residues in many neuroendocrine peptides. The amino acid sequence of this enzyme is 86% identical to that of bovine glutaminyl cyclase.

Human QPCT PicoKine ELISA Kit
Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Human QPCT 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: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-05-27
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 required for an experiment, the material can be filtered through a 0.2 micron filter designed for use with biological fluids.

Question
Q: which procedure should I follow in order to thaw whole blood sample for QPCT ELISA after freezing?
P. Phillips
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-12-19
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 QPCT for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question
Q: how many samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-02-09
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 depends upon the kit used so please refer to each datasheet for details.

Question
Q: can you tell me how to prepare cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?
L. Mitchell
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-01-26
Answer
A: in those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate can be found in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer can affect immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question
Q: is it okay to use citrate plasma as samples in Human QPCT Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK2104)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-12-30
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of QPCT causing degradation of its protein structure. QPCT may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes a must for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the QPCT ELISA, treating samples with various anticoagulants and decided that heparin or EDTA can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Answered: 2017-12-30
Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated QPCT antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that change the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the QPCT antigen?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-11-08
Answer
A: The enzyme is always active. Avoid contaminating the substrate with enzyme prior to the incubation otherwise it compromises the assay with false positive signal.
