13h 33m
Dilute Amount100 ng - Amount500 ng of protein of interest (e.g. α-synuclein) in Takeda buffer per well and add Amount30 µL total liquid per well to 384-well Nunc Maxisorp plate.

Pipetting
Seal with removable clear adhesive cover.
Centrifuge the plate at Centrifigation1000 x g for Duration00:01:00 to pull down protein onto the plate. Leave for Duration04:00:00 at Temperature37 °C or DurationOvernight at Temperature4 °C .

4h 1m
Centrifigation
Overnight
Use the plate washer with 5x with Amount100 µL PBST.
Pipetting
Wash
Block with Amount100 µL Blockace per well. Fill wells from the bottom, being sure to avoid leaving any bubbles in the wells.

Pipetting
Seal with a removable clear adhesive cover and leave for Duration04:00:00 at Temperature37 °C orDurationOvernight at Temperature4 °C .

Note
At this point, plates can be stored for up to 1 month at Temperature4 °C if there is a preservative in the buffer.
