Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus-2Severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, has posed a serious threat to global human health. With the emergence of variants, especially the Variants of Concern (VOCs), a quick and effective way to assess how effective the current vaccines are against the major variants is needed. The COVID-19 Neutralization Kit is an ELISA type of binding assay measuring the ability of the sera of vaccinated donors to block the binding between RBDs of COVID-19 variants and human ACE-2. |

FAQs
-
What can cause high background?
Problem of high background may be due to insufficient washing or extended incubation time with detection reagents, among other factors.
-
What are possible reasons for low assay signal?
Low assay signal may be due to non-optimal preparation of Recombinant SARS2 Spike RBD proteins or Biotinylated Human ACE-2. Be sure to review the product insert and follow reconstitution and dilution instructions for each lyophilized reagent. Low signal may also be caused by insufficient incubation time for color reaction. Color development for the Covid-19 Neutralization assay requires 15 to 25 minutes.
-
What could cause high variability between sample duplicates?
The two main reasons for high variability in this assay are non-optimal pipetting technique and samples not well mixed. Ensure a consistent and accurate pipetting method. Mix sample thoroughly and dispense accurately. Change pipette tips between samples. Ensure that your pipettes are calibrated.
-
Is it okay to modify the plate layout in the kit product datasheet?
Yes, a plate layout is provided in the kit insert as an example, and investigators can modify the plate layout to suit specific needs. Spike RBD WT or variant proteins are supplied at higher amounts to provide flexibility for investigators to use each protein of interest as desired.
-
Why are Sample Dilution Plates provided in the kit?
The Sample Dilution Plates have reduced protein binding to minimize loss of sample during the dilution and pre-incubation steps, and the plates are provided in the kit for convenience of use. Diluted samples prepared in a dilution plate can be transferred to a 96-well Assay Plate in an efficient manner minimizing chance for assay drift.
