Elisa reader

Manufactured by Bio-Rad
Sourced in United States, Germany, Japan, China, Canada, United Kingdom, Singapore, Switzerland

The ELISA reader is a laboratory instrument designed to measure the optical density of samples in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) experiments. It is used to quantify the amount of a specific substance, such as a protein or antibody, present in a sample by detecting the intensity of a color change or luminescent signal.

VSMC Proliferation Analysis via BrdU and MTT

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
VSMC proliferation was analyzed via measuring DNA synthesis with a colorimetric bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) ELISA kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (Shanghai JinMa Laboratory and Equipment Company, Shanghai, China). Briefly, VSMCs were seeded in 24-well plates at a density of 5 × 10 4 cells/well. Three days after gene transfer, the cells were stimulated with recombinant mouse TNF-α (10 ng/ml) for 24 or 48 h, after which the cell culture supernatants were collected and centrifuged at 12 000 g for 15 min at 4 °C; the extracted supernatants were immediately frozen at -80 °C until use. Absorbance values at 450 nm were determined using an ELISA reader (Bio-Rad, CA, USA).
In a separate set of experiments, VSMC proliferation was evaluated using the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Briefly, VSMCs were plated in 96 multi-well plates at a density of 5 × 10 3 cells/well. Three days after gene transfer, the cells were stimulated with recombinant mouse TNF-α (10 ng/ml) for 24 or 48 h, and then 0.5 mg/ml of MTT in PBS was added to each well. After 4 h, the cell culture supernatants were removed and 150 μl of DMSO was added to each well to dissolve the crystals. The absorbance values at 490 nm were obtained using an ELISA reader (Bio-Rad).

Cytotoxicity Evaluation of Adriamycin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Effects of a chemotherapy agent on the high clone and low clone cells were evaluated using CCK‐8 (Dojindo) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The clone cells were plated at 15,000 cells/well in a 96‐well plate with 100 μL culture medium. After 24 hours, the culture medium was replaced and Adriamycin was directly added at various concentrations. After 24‐h treatment, the cells were incubated with 10 μL CCK‐8 reagent for 4 hours at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. Absorbance at 450 nm was measured with a Bio‐Rad ELISA reader (Bio‐Rad).

The supernatants of the lung homogenates were assayed for the determination of cytokines and chemokine. IL-33 and CCL17 were measured via the package of DuoSet ELISA (R&D Systems) and IL-13, IL-5, and total IgE were measured with a Ready-SET-Go! ® ELISA (eBioscienceTM (IL13, total IgE) and InvitrogenTM IL-5, USA) kit. All ELISA assays were performed according to the manufacturer's protocol. The concentrations of the measured cytokines and chemokines were expressed as pg/mg protein in lung homogenates and pg/mL in serum. The ELISA plates were read at 450 nm using a Bio-Rad ELISA Reader (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) (3 (link), 4 (link)).

HT-29 and SW620 cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 2×104 cells/well for 24 h, then cells were treated with 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, and 3 mg/ml HVMEE for 24 h in complete medium. Following treatment, 20 µl of MTT solution (5 mg/ml) was added to each well for 4 h. The cells were then washed three times with PBS, and the resulting formazan was resuspended in 150 µl dimethyl sulfoxide. Absorbance was measured at 570 nm with a Bio-Rad ELISA reader (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA). The experiment was repeated independently three times.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GCs (1 × 105 cells/well) were transfected with Klf4 expression plasmid (0.1 and 0.3 μg/well) or Klf4 siRNA (200 nM/well). After 6 h, they were transferred to LH (200 ng/mL) or control medium for 24–36 h, and conditioned media were harvested for the hormone assay. Progesterone levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (CSB-E07282r, Cusabio Biotech Co., Ltd., Wuhan, China) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were less than 15%, and the limit of detection was 0.8 ng/mL under our conditions. To achieve concentrations within the assay range, the conditioned media were diluted, and serial dilutions were found to behave in a linear fashion using progesterone standards. Absorbance was read against a blanking well at 450 nm within 15 min in an ELISA Reader (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA). All samples were run in duplicate. Data were collected from three independent experiments.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
