Dilution of Sample

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

Sample type Dilution factor
Goat plasma 1
Human urine 1
Porcine serum 1
Rat plasma 1-2
10% Mouse liver tissue homogenate 5-8
10% Mouse kidney tissue homogenate 3-5

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 chromogenic agent can be catalyzed by acid phosphatase to produce p-nitrophenol in acidic condition. P-nitrophenol has a maximum absorption at 405 nm. The activity of TRAP can be calculated by measuring the amount of produced p-nitrophenol. The activity of acid phosphatase being detected in the presence of tartric acid is regarded as TRAP activity.

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 (U/L) 16.80 34.50 87.00
%CV 2.3 2.0 1.7


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 (U/L) 16.80 34.50 87.00
%CV 2.1 2.4 2.4


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 101%.


Standard 1 Standard 2 Standard 3
Expected Conc. (mmol/L) 0.25 0.52 0.84
Observed Conc. (mmol/L) 0.3 0.5 0.9
Recovery rate(%) 101 99 103

 

Sensitivity

The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 9.22 U/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:
