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 (1.12 -150 U/mL).

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

Sample type Dilution factor
Human serum 1
293T supernatant 1
10% Rat heart tissue homogenization 50-100
10% Rat liver tissue homogenization 100-200
10% Rat spleen tissue homogenization 50-100
Mouse serum 1
10% Epipremnum aureum tissue homogenization 1-2
10% Rat lung tissue homogenization 50-100
10% Rat kidney tissue homogenization 50-100
10% Rat brain tissue homogenization 20-50

 

Note: The diluent is normal saline (0.9% NaCl) or PBS (0.01 M, pH 7.4).

 

Detection Principle

The reaction that catalase (CAT) decomposes H2O2 can be quickly stopped by ammonium molybdate. The residual H2O2 reacts with ammonium molybdate to generate a yellowish complex. CAT activity can be calculated by production of the yellowish complex at 405 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 (U/mL) 3.70 26.40 78.60
%CV 4.2 3.8 3.7


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/mL) 3.70 26.40 78.60
%CV 7.4 7.9 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 100%.


Standard 1 Standard 2 Standard 3
Expected Conc. (μmol/mL) 15 36 54
Observed Conc. (μmol/mL) 15.2 34.9 55.1
Recovery rate (%) 101 97 102


Sensitivity

The analytical sensitivity of the assay is 1.12 U/mL CAT. 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 (μmol/mL) 0 10 20 40 50 60 80 100
Average OD 0.062 0.087 0.118 0.143 0.169 0.192 0.219 0.311
Absoluted OD 0 0.025 0.056 0.081 0.107 0.13 0.157 0.249
