DILUTION OF SAMPLES
Samples containing more than 125 ng/ml HAPTOGLOBIN should be further diluted and re-tested. The results obtained should be multiplied Kit Components, 96 tests
by the appropriate dilution factor. It is possible to use normal saline or Anti-Mouse haptoglobin coated strip plate PBS for sample dilution if larger volumes of samples are taken for dilution Mouse haptoglobin Reference Standard (2 ug/ml), CALCULATION OF RESULTS
Calculate the mean absorbance for each duplicate. Draw the standard Anti-mouse haptoglobin-HRP Conjugate, 11 ml curve on semi-log graph paper by plotting net absorbance values of standards against appropriate HAPTOGLOBIN concentrations. Read off the HAPTOGLOBIN concentrations of the control and patient samples. Multiply the values by the dilution factor of the samples. If samples were diluted 1:20K then the values must be multiplied by 20,000 and results
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Detection Limit: The minimum HAPTOGLOBIN concentration
detectable using this assay is below 1 ng/ml. The detection limit is defined as the value deviating by 2 SD from the zero standard. NTRODUCTION
The liver produces haptoglobin and secretes it into the blood. When red Expected Values: Mouse HAPTOGLOBIN levels in serum may vary
blood cel s are destroyed, the hemoglobin is released. Haptoglobin binds from 0.1-2 mg/ml. Each laboratory should establish testing ranges for the to the released hemoglobin. Macrophages wil then bring the haptoglobin- hemoglobin complex to the liver, where the haptoglobin and hemoglobin are separated and the iron is recycled. This process destroys the Specificity: The antibodies used in this kit are specific for mouse

When red blood cel s are actively being destroyed, the rate haptoglobin and have shown no cross-reactivity with other serum of haptoglobin destruction by the liver wil outpace the rate at which new haptoglobin is created, and the levels of haptoglobin in the blood wil Species Crossreactivity: Cross-reactivity was tested with animal sera

SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND HANDLING
Col ect blood by venipuncture, al ow clotting, and separating the serum by centrifugation at room temperature. Do not heat inactivate the serum. If sera can not be immediately assayed , store frozen for up to six months. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of samples. It is also possible to use plasma for REAGENT PREPARATION

1. Dilute the Sample Diluent 1:10 with water (10 ml diluent in 90ml water).
Dilute only the required reagent. Store diluted solution at 2-8o C for 3-4
2. Dilute Wash Buffer (10x stock). Dilute the entire 60 ml with distil ed or
deionized water to 540 ml water (total volume 600 ml). Store at room temperature for the entire use of the kit. 3. Standard preparation-it is provided as lyophilized stock.

Addition of the HRP substrate solution out of the range dilute accordingly. We recommend the fol owing dilution starts a kinetic reaction, which is terminated by dispensing the stopping solution.
