The Mouse Hepcidin (Hepc) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the precise measurement of hepcidin levels in mouse serum, plasma, and tissue lysates. With its high sensitivity and specificity, this kit provides accurate and reliable results, making it perfect for various research applications.Hepcidin is a key regulator of iron metabolism, playing a crucial role in controlling iron absorption and release in the body. Dysregulation of hepcidin levels has been linked to various disorders such as iron deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis, and chronic kidney disease.
Therefore, studying hepcidin levels can provide valuable insights into these conditions and aid in the development of potential treatments.Overall, the Mouse Hepcidin (Hepc) ELISA Kit is an indispensable tool for researchers studying iron metabolism and related disorders in mouse models, offering precise and reliable measurements to advance their research.
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.
