ELISA poor standard

Standard is required to determine unknown concentrations. Poor standard has R2 below 0.99.

Possible cause Troubleshooting
Standard solution is not added. Add the standard solution.
Blank has higher OD than the lowest standard. Minimize the edge effect by covering the well plate with microplate seal. Avoid working near heat sources.
Mistake in serial dilution. Pay attention to volumes of standard and buffer solutions
Standard preparation might have denature. Check the expiration dates.
