The Mouse Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) ELISA Kit is specially designed for the precise measurement of EGF levels in mouse serum, plasma, and tissue culture supernatants. This kit offers exceptional sensitivity and specificity, guaranteeing consistent and accurate results, which makes it perfect for various research purposes.EGF is a vital growth factor that plays a key role in cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. It is involved in various physiological processes, including wound healing, tissue repair, and development.
Abnormal EGF levels have been linked to diseases such as cancer, inflammatory conditions, and skin disorders, making it a valuable biomarker for understanding these diseases and exploring potential treatments.With the Mouse EGF ELISA Kit, researchers can effectively measure and analyze EGF levels in mouse samples, contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge and the development of innovative therapies.
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.
