The General Melatonin MT ELISA Kit is designed for the precise measurement of melatonin levels in various biological samples, including serum, plasma, and tissue culture supernatants. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, guaranteeing accurate and consistent results for a variety of research purposes.Melatonin is a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and has antioxidant properties, playing a crucial role in maintaining circadian rhythms and supporting overall health and well-being. Dysregulation of melatonin levels has been associated with various health conditions, including sleep disorders, mood disorders, and metabolic disorders, underscoring the importance of studying melatonin levels in research and potential therapeutic interventions.
The General Melatonin MT ELISA Kit provides a reliable tool for researchers to investigate the role of melatonin in various physiological and pathological processes, offering valuable insights into potential mechanisms and treatment strategies for melatonin-related disorders.

Intra-assay Precision:
Intra-Assay: CV <10%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision:
Inter-Assay: CV <12%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.
Stability:
The stability of ELISA kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. Note:To minimize unnecessary influences on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, and incubator temperatures should be strictly regulated. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same experimenter from the beginning to the end.
