- Add 50-100 µL of the assay reaction mix to each well of the microplate.
Sample and Control Addition:
- Add 50-100 µL of your prepared samples and control samples to the appropriate wells on the microplate.
- Ensure that the final reaction volume in each well is consistent.
Incubation:
- Incubate the microplate at the appropriate temperature (as specified in the kit instructions) for a recommended time to allow the enzymatic reaction to occur.
Measurement:
- Measure the absorbance of each well at a specific wavelength (provided by the kit) using a microplate reader.
Data Analysis:
- Calculate the ammonia concentration in your samples based on their respective absorbance readings and compare them to the standard curve.
Results Interpretation:
- Interpret and analyze your results according to your research objectives.
- Note any variations or trends in ammonia levels among your samples.
Data Presentation:
