The Mouse Collagen Type X (COL10) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the precise measurement of collagen type X levels in mouse serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. With its high sensitivity and specificity, this kit provides accurate and reproducible results, making it perfect for various research applications.Collagen type X is a key protein involved in bone growth and development, playing a crucial role in skeletal tissue formation. It is essential for maintaining bone integrity and has implications in conditions such as osteoarthritis and skeletal dysplasias.
By measuring collagen type X levels, researchers can gain insights into bone health and potential therapies targeting skeletal disorders.Overall, the Mouse Collagen Type X (COL10) ELISA Kit offers a reliable tool for studying bone metabolism and skeletal diseases in mouse models, providing valuable data for advancing research in the field of musculoskeletal biology.
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.
