The Mouse Glucagon (GC) ELISA Kit is a highly sensitive and specific assay designed for the accurate detection of glucagon levels in mouse serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit provides reliable and reproducible results, making it perfect for a variety of research applications.Glucagon is a vital hormone involved in regulating glucose levels in the body, particularly in counteracting the effects of insulin.
It plays a crucial role in metabolic processes and is essential for maintaining overall health. Abnormal glucagon levels can contribute to conditions such as diabetes and metabolic disorders, making this kit a valuable tool for studying these conditions and potential 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 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.
