The Human Procollagen II (PCII) ELISA Kit is specially designed for the precise measurement of procollagen II levels in human serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. With its high sensitivity and specificity, this kit ensures accurate and consistent results, making it perfect for various research applications.Procollagen II is an essential protein involved in collagen formation, specifically in the cartilage tissue. It plays a critical role in maintaining the structural integrity of joints and connective tissues.
Abnormal levels of procollagen II have been linked to conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other joint disorders, making it a valuable biomarker for studying these diseases and potential therapeutic interventions.Overall, the Human Procollagen II (PCII) ELISA Kit is a valuable tool for researchers and clinicians seeking to understand the role of procollagen II in joint health and disease, offering reliable and accurate measurements for their studies.

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.
