ASSAY PRINCIPLE

Cisbio Bioassays’ Serum Glucagon assay is only intended for quantitative measurement of Glucagon in plasma and serum using HTRF® technology. The assay is compatible with human, mouse, rat, and porcine species and is highly specific for pancreatic Glucagon.

Glucagon is detected in a sandwich assay format using 2 different specific monoclonal antibodies, one labeled with Terbium Cryptate (donor) and the second with d2 (acceptor). The detection principle is based on HTRF® technology. When the dyes are in close proximity, the excitation of the donor with a light source (laser or flash lamp) triggers a Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) towards the acceptor, which in turn fluoresces at a specific wavelength (665 nm). The two antibodies bind to the Glucagon present in the sample, thereby generating FRET. Signal intensity is proportional to the number of antigen-antibody complexes formed and therefore to the Glucagon concentration (Fig. 1).

STORAGE AND STABILITY

Store the kit at -60°C or below. Under proper storage conditions, reagents are stable until the expiry date indicated on the label.

Reagents

If lyophilized, reconstituted reagents, antibodies, and standard stock solutions may be frozen and thawed only once. To avoid freeze/thaw cycles, it is recommended to dispense remaining stock solutions into disposable plastic vials for storage at -60°C or below for standard and at -20°C or below for antibodies.

Volume of Serum Glucagon standard aliquots should not be under 20 μL.

Thawed diluent and detection buffer can be stored at 2-8°C in your premises.

REAGENT PREPARATION

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

• It is very important to prepare reagents in the specified buffers. The use of an incorrect diluent may affect reagent stability and assay results.• Thaw all reagents at room temperature, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 30 mins before use• Before use, allow Diluent and Detection buffer to warm up at room temperature and homogenize them with a vortex.• It is recommended to filter buffers.• Antibody solutions must be prepared in individual vials and can be mixed prior to dispensing.• Glucagon standards (for standard curve) must be prepared in diluent or in the same medium as the samples.

TAKE CARE TO PREPARE STOCK AND WORKING SOLUTIONS ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIONS FOR THE KIT SIZE YOU HAVE PURCHASED.

TO PREPARE ANTIBODY WORKING SOLUTIONS:

Each well requires 5 µL of Anti-Glucagon-Tb3+ Cryptate Antibody and 5 µL of Anti-Glucagon-d2 Antibody. Prepare the two antibody solutions in separate vials.

Anti-Glucagon- Cryptate antibody

Dilute 50-fold the 50 X stock solution (thawed reagent) of Anti Glucagon-Tb3+ -Cryptate-antibody with the Detection buffer #6: add 1 volume of Cryptate antibody stock solution in 49 volumes of Detection buffer #6 (e.g., 20 µL of reconstituted Cryptate-antibody stock solution + 0.98 mL of Detection Buffer #6).

Anti-Glucagon-d2 antibodyDilute 50-fold the 50 X stock solution (thawed reagent) of Anti Glucagon d2-antibody with the Detection buffer #6: add 1 volume of d2-antibody stock solution in 49 volumes of Detection buffer #6 (e.g., 20 µL of reconstituted d2-antibody stock solution + 0.98 mL of Detection Buffer #6).

Antibody mix

It is possible to pre-mix the two ready-to-use antibody solutions just prior to dispensing the reagents by adding 1 volume of d2-antibody solution to 1 volume of Cryptate-antibody solution (e.g. 1 mL of d2-antibody + 1 mL of Cryptate-antibody).

It is possible to pre-mix the two ready-to-use antibody solutions just prior to dispensing the reagents by adding 1 volumes of d2-antibody solution to 1 volume of Cryptate-antibody solution (e.g. 5 mL of d2-antibody + 5 mL of Cryptate-antibody).

TO PREPARE STANDARD WORKING SOLUTIONS:

• Each well requires 10 µL of standard.• Dilute the standard stock solution serially with diluent #6 • In order to check for a potential interference effect from your assay buffer when using the assay for the first time, we highly

recommend the parallel preparation of a standard curve in your own supplemented cell culture medium and in diluent #6 .• In order to counteract any standard sticking, we recommend changing tips between each dilution.

A recommended standard dilution procedure is listed and illustrated below:

Dilute the standard stock solution 50-fold with diluent #6 to prepare high standard (Std 8) for the top of the curve: e.g. take 4 µL of standard stock solution and add it to 196 µL of diluent #6 . Mix gently.

Use the high standard (Std 8) to prepare the standard curve using 1/2 serial dilutions as follows:

• Dispense 100 µL of diluent #6 in each vial from Std 7 to Std 0.

• Add 100 µL of standard to 100 µL of diluent #6 , mix gently and repeat the 1/2 serial dilution to make standard solutions: std7, std6, std5, std4, std3, std2, std1.

This will create 8 standards for the analyte. Std 0 (Negative control) is diluent #6 or appropriate culture medium alone.

TO PREPARE SAMPLES:

• Each well requires 10 µL of sample.• Just after their collection, put the samples at 4°C and test them immediately. For later use, samples should be dispensed into disposable plastic vials and stored at -60°C or below. Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.• In order to prepare plasma samples, we recommend collecting blood in EDTA-tubes• Samples with a concentration above the highest standard (Std 8) must be diluted in diluent #6 or in your appropriate sample medium.• Avoid the use of samples with a high degree of hemolysis• Many proteases present into the blood may degrad Glucagon. In order to avoid any degration, blood sample should be drawn into tubes containing Aprotinin (500 KIU/ mL of whole blood). Alternately, Aprotinin has to be added immediately after blood collection

DATA REDUCTION & INTERPRETATION

1. Calculate the ratio of the acceptor and donor emission signals for each individual well.

Ratio = Signal 665 nm

Signal 620 nm x 104

2. Calculate the % CVs. The mean and standard deviation can then be worked out from ratio replicates.

CV (%)= Standard deviation

Mean Ratio x 100

3.the role of an internal assay control. Delta F is used for the comparison of day to day runs of the same assay.

delta F (%) =Ratio Standard or sample - Ratio Negative Control

Ratio Negative Controlx 100

Calculate the % delta F which reflects the signal to background of the assay. The negative control (Standard 0) plays
