Intended Use
This kit is intended for quantitative analysis of tiamulin residue in animal tissue (pork and chicken, etc).
General Description
Tiamulin is a pleuromutilin antibiotic drug that is used in veterinary medicine particularly for pigs and poultry. Strict MRL has
been established due to the potential side effect in human.
HPLC or LC-MS is the common approach to detect tiamulin, and it is limited for the high expense and cost in sample pre-
treatment. ELISA is rapid and accurate, which can be used for tiamulin residue detection muscle samples.
This kit is based on indirect-competitive ELISA technology. The microtiter wells are coated with coupling antigen. Tiamulin
residue in the sample competes with the antigen coated on the microtiter plate for the antibody. After the addition of enzyme
labeled anti-antibody, TMB substrate is used to show the color. Absorbance of the sample is negatively related to the tiamulin
reside in it, after comparing with the Standard Curve, multiplied by the dilution factor , tiamulin residue quantity in the sample can
be calculated.

Assay Procedure
Interpretation Of Results
The mean values of the absorbance values obtained for the standards and the samples are divided by the absorbance value of
the first standard (zero standard) and multiplied by 100%. The zero standard is thus made equal to 100% and the absorbance
values are quoted in percentages.

Precautions
1. The mean values of the absorbance values obtained for the standards and the samples will be reduced if the reagents and
samples have not been regulated to room temperature (20-25°C).
2. Do not allow microwells to dry between steps to avoid unsuccessful repetitiveness and operate the next step immediately after
tap the microwells holder.
3 Shake each reagent gently before use.
4 Keep your skin away from the stop solution for it is the 0.5M H2SO4 solution.
5. Don't use the kits out of date. Don't exchange the reagents of different batches, for it will drop the sensitivity.
6. Keep the ELISA kits at 2-8°C, do not freeze. Seal rest microwell plates Avoid straight sunlight during all incubations. Covering
the microtiter plates is recommended for the standard sample and colorless chromogenic reagent are sensitive to light.
7. Substrate solution should be abandoned if it turns colors. The reagents may be turn bad if the absorbance value (450/630nm)
of the zero standard is less than 0.5 (A450nm<0.5).
8. The coloration reaction needs 15min after adding Solution A and Solution B. And you can prolong the incubation time ranges
to 20min or longer if the color is too light to be determined. Never exceed 25min, on the contrary, shorten the incubation time
properly.

9. The optimal reaction temperature is 37°C. Higher or lower temperature will lead to the changes of sensitivity and absorbance
values.
