Dilution of Sample

The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):

Sample type Dilution factor
10% Rat liver tissue homogenate 15-25
10% Rat heart tissue homogenate 15-25
10% Rat spleen tissue homogenate 15-25
10% Rat brain tissue homogenate 15-25
10% Rat kidney tissue homogenate 15-25
10% Mouse heart tissue homogenate 15-25
10% Mouse lung tissue homogenate 15-25
10% Mouse ovarian tissue homogenate 50-70
Rat serum 8-12
Rat plasma 8-12
Human plasma 8-12
10^6 HL-40 cell 2-8

 

Note: The diluent is normal saline (0.9% NaCl). For the dilution of other sample types, please do pretest to confirm the dilution factor

 

Detection Principle

The principle is that the compounds formed by phosphoric acid and molybdate under acidic conditions will form color substances with malachite green. The depth of color is proportional to the content of phosphate. The phosphorus content can be calculated indirectly be measuring the OD value at 660 nm.

Technical Data:

Parameter:

Intra-assay Precision

Three human serum samples were assayed in replicates of 20 to determine precision within an assay (CV = Coefficient of Variation).

Parameters Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3
Mean (mmol/L) 0.03 0.08 0.15
%CV 4.2 4.0 3.8


Inter-assay Precision

Three human serum samples were assayed 20 times in duplicate by three operators to determine precision between assays.

Parameters Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3
Mean (mmol/L) 0.03 0.08 0.15
%CV 7.9 8.3 7.8


Recovery

Take three samples of high concentration, middle concentration and low concentration to test the samples of each concentration for 6 times parallelly to get the average recovery rate of 98%.


Standard 1 Standard 2 Standard 3
Expected Conc. (mmol/L) 0.016 0.077 0.13
Observed Conc. (mmol/L) 0.0 0.1 0.1
Recovery rate(%) 96 99 99

 

Sensitivity

The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 0.001 mmol/L. This was determined by adding two standard deviations to the mean O.D. obtained when the zero standard was assayed 20 times, and calculating the corresponding concentration.

 

Standard Curve

As the OD value of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique or temperature effects), so the standard curve and data are provided as below for reference only:

Concentration (mmol/L) 0 0.01 0.02 0.05 0.10 0.12 0.15 0.20
Average OD 0.142 0.177 0.231 0.391 0.639 0.769 0.915 1.147
Absoluted OD 0.000 0.036 0.090 0.250 0.498 0.628 0.774 1.006
