Description
The BD CBA Human LT-α Flex Set must be used in conjunction with a BD CBA Human Soluble Protein Master Buffer Kit (Cat. No. 558264, 100 tests, or 558265, 500 tests), a flow cytometer, and the FCAP Array™ Software (Cat. No. 641488). Detailed instructions on the use of this product can be found in the manual for the BD CBA Human Soluble Protein Master Buffer Kit. When following the directions in the Master Buffer Kit, the top standard point for the BD CBA Human LT-α Flex Set will be 2,500 pg/ml. An example standard curve is shown in Figure 1. When multiplexing the BD CBA Human LT-α Flex Set assay with the BD CBA Human IL-6 Flex Set assay (Cat. No. 558276) or the BD CBA Human Fas Ligand Flex Set assay (Cat. No. 558330), significantly higher background will be seen in the human IL-6 or Fas Ligand assays. This increased background, while reducing the sensitivity of the human IL-6 or Fas Ligand assay, will not effect the quantitation of human LT-α, Fas Ligand or IL-6 in any other way. The BD CBA Human LT-α Flex Set cannot be used in the same assay well with the following BD CBA Human Soluble Protein Flex Set reagents: Flex Set Bead Position Catalog Number BD CBA Human IL-3 Flex Set D5 558335 BD CBA Human VEGF Flex Set B8 558336 BD CBA Human OSM Flex Set D5 560084 The BD CBA Human LT-α Flex Set should not be used in the same assay well with any non-BD CBA Human Soluble Protein Flex Set reagents (such as BD CBA Mouse Soluble Protein or Cell Signaling Flex Sets). For an updated assay compatibility chart for the BD CBA Human Soluble Protein Flex Sets, please refer to the BD CBA Flex Set System homepage at http://www.bdbiosciences.com/flexset. Performance Limit of Detection: The theoretical limit of detection is 0.2 pg/ml and was determined by evaluating the estimated result of the average MFI of the negative control (0 pg/ml, n=30) + 2 standard deviations.
