Rat Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 2 (EAAT2) ELISA Kit
The Rat Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 2 (EAAT2) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the quantitative measurement of EAAT2 levels in rat samples, including serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates. This kit offers excellent sensitivity and specificity, ensuring accurate and reliable results for your research needs.EAAT2 is a key transporter protein involved in the regulation of excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly glutamate. Dysregulation of EAAT2 has been implicated in various neurological disorders, including epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Therefore, studying EAAT2 levels can provide valuable insights into the pathophysiology of these conditions and aid in the development of potential therapeutic strategies.Whether you are exploring basic mechanisms of neurotransmission or investigating novel treatments for neurological diseases, the Rat EAAT2 ELISA Kit is an essential tool for your research endeavors. Trust in its precision and accuracy to unlock new discoveries in the field of neuroscience.

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.
