Dilution of Sample
It is recommended to take 2~3 samples with expected large difference to do pre-experiment before formal experiment and dilute the sample according to the result of the pre-experiment and the detection range (0.50-70 g/L).
The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):
| Sample type | Dilution factor |
| Human serum | 1 |
| Human plasma | 1 |
| Mouse plasma | 1 |
| Rat serum | 1 |
Note: The diluent is normal saline (0.9% NaCl) or PBS (0.01 M, pH 7.4).
Detection Principle
Bromocresol green (BCG) can combine with the albumin in pH 4.0~4.2 to form an albumin-BCG complex, which is yellowish-green. The depth of yellowish-green is proportional to the concentration of albumin. The serum albumin concentration can be calculated by measuring the OD value at 628 nm.
Kit Components & Storage
| Item | Component | Size 1 (50 assays) | Size 2 (100 assays) | Storage |
| Reagent 1 | Stock Solution | 30 mL ×1 vial | 60 mL ×1 vial | 2-8℃, 12 months, shading light |

Note: The reagents must be stored strictly according to the preservation conditions in the above table. The reagents in different kits cannot be mixed with each other. For a small volume of reagents, please centrifuge before use, so as not to obtain sufficient amount of reagents.
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 (g/L) | 8.50 | 29.50 | 65.00 |
| %CV | 2.4 | 2.0 | 1.9 |
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 (g/L) | 8.50 | 29.50 | 65.00 |
| %CV | 4.1 | 4.3 | 4.2 |
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 99%
| Sample 1 |
Sample 2 |
Sample 3 | |
| Expected Conc. (g/L) | 13 | 37.5 | 58 |
| Observed Conc. (g/L) | 12.9 | 37.5 | 56.8 |
| Recovery rate(%) | 99 | 100 | 98 |
Sensitivity
The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 0.50 g/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 (g/L) |
0 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 60 | 70 |
| Average OD | 0.098 | 0.098 | 0.098 | 0.098 | 0.098 | 0.098 | 0.098 |
| Absoluted OD | 0.168 | 0.168 | 0.168 | 0.168 | 0.168 | 0.168 | 0.168 |
