about Filter Paper Assay - some quiry (Feb/16/2007 )

hi all
i need to start filter paper assay(FPA) soon, so i want remove some of my confusion as i will be the 1st person in the lab who will perform FPAssay
q1. after insert filter paper do i need to vortex it to mix with the enzyme soln??
q2. how you add 20 ml water in each tube?? i want to use a plastic mess cylinder. is it ok??or i need to use glass pippette
q3. do you get any differnece betn spectra zero and sample blank ?(after set the spectra zero at zero i got my blank sample reading also zero)
q4. do i need to construct new glucose standard curve every single time i perform the assay???
q5. how long you wait after add water??

ok thats all for today, advance thanks for your help
