The Rat Connexin-43 (Cx43) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the precise measurement of Connexin-43 levels in rat serum, plasma, and tissue lysates. This kit offers exceptional sensitivity and specificity, guaranteeing accurate and consistent results for various research purposes.Connexin-43 is a vital protein involved in cell-to-cell communication, particularly in the heart and nervous system. Dysregulation of Connexin-43 has been linked to various pathological conditions such as cardiac arrhythmias, neurodegenerative diseases, and impaired wound healing.
Therefore, studying Connexin-43 levels can provide valuable insights into these diseases and potential therapeutic interventions.With its advanced technology and reliable performance, the Rat Connexin-43 (Cx43) ELISA Kit is an indispensable tool for researchers seeking to unravel the intricacies of cell communication and its impact on disease development.

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.
