The Mouse Neurocan (NCAN) ELISA Kit is a reliable and accurate tool for detecting neurocan levels in mouse serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, allowing for precise and reproducible results that are essential for various neuroscience research applications.Neurocan is an important component in the extracellular matrix of the central nervous system, where it plays a role in neural development and plasticity. Dysregulation of neurocan has been linked to various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries, making it a valuable biomarker for studying these conditions and potential therapeutic interventions.
Overall, the Mouse Neurocan (NCAN) ELISA Kit is a valuable tool for researchers looking to explore the role of neurocan in neurological diseases and further our understanding of the central nervous system.
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.
