The Human Dopa Decarboxylase (DDC) ELISA Kit is a powerful tool for accurately measuring levels of DDC in human samples such as serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. With its high sensitivity and specificity, this kit ensures precise and consistent results, making it ideal for various research applications. DDC is a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin. Dysregulation of DDC has been linked to neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease, making it a valuable biomarker for studying these conditions and exploring potential treatment options.
By using the Human Dopa Decarboxylase ELISA Kit, researchers can gain valuable insights into the role of DDC in health and disease, ultimately advancing our understanding and potentially leading to new therapeutic interventions.
Matrices listed below were spiked with certain level of recombinant the index and the recovery rates were calculated by comparing the measured value to the expected amount of the index in samples.

Linearity:
The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of the index and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.

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 conditions. 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.
