The Human Orexin (OX) ELISA Kit is specially designed for the precise measurement of orexin levels in human biological samples including serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. With its high sensitivity and specificity, this kit guarantees accurate and consistent results, making it ideal for various research purposes.Orexin, also known as hypocretin, is a neuropeptide that regulates wakefulness, appetite, and energy balance. Dysregulation of orexin has been linked to various disorders such as narcolepsy, obesity, and insomnia, highlighting its importance as a potential therapeutic target.
By detecting and quantifying orexin levels, researchers can gain valuable insights into the role of orexin in these conditions and potentially develop novel treatments. The Human Orexin (OX) ELISA Kit offers a reliable tool for studying orexin biology and its impact on human health.

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 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.
