The Porcine Plasminogen Activator Urokinase (UPA) ELISA Kit is a cutting-edge tool for precise measurement of UPA levels in porcine serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This innovative kit offers exceptional sensitivity and specificity, ensuring consistent and accurate results for a variety of research applications.UPA is a critical enzyme involved in the regulation of fibrinolysis, mediating the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. This process is essential for breaking down blood clots and maintaining vascular health.
Dysregulation of UPA activity has been associated with a range of diseases, including thrombosis, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer, underscoring its significance as a biomarker for disease progression and therapeutic development. With the Porcine Plasminogen Activator Urokinase (UPA) ELISA Kit, researchers can delve into the intricate mechanisms of UPA function and its role in disease pathology, paving the way for new insights and potential treatment strategies.
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.

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.
