Guest Syabila Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Dear Mabtech representative, I'd like to ask question about the protocol of using Pre-coated ELISpot clear plate (code: 3420-3PT) specifically a the plate preparation step. The Guidlines stated to remove the plate from the sealed package and wash 4 times with sterile PBS (200 uL/well). Since I don't have the sterile PBS, is it okay to use sterile RPMI instead of sterile PBS? And what could be the consequences of using the RPMI as the substitute? And if using RPMI is not a good alternative, do you have any recommend of solution that can be used to prepare the plate? Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Christian@mabtech.com Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Using sterile RPMI will work well. Doable. The idea of the first wash is simply to condition the plate. As long as the liquid is sterile and dont have weird components or strange pH you are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syabila Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Thank you for the reply. It is very helpful. I want to make sure, If I use sterile water with pH 7, is that also okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
