Description
Rat MUC2 (Mucin 2) ELISA Kit
The Rat MUC2 (Mucin 2) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the quantitative measurement of Mucin 2 levels in various biological samples from rats. Mucins are a family of high molecular weight glycoproteins known for their key roles in protecting and lubricating the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the mucosal surfaces of the colon and other organs like the stomach and small intestine.
This ELISA kit from Assay Genie provides exceptional sensitivity and specificity to ensure accurate and reproducible results. With stringent quality control measures in place, this kit offers robust performance and ease of use, making it an excellent tool for research studies focusing on the expression and function of Mucin 2 in rat models and gastrointestinal health.

This ELISA kit uses the Sandwich-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Rat MUC2. Standards or samples are added to the micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Rat MUC2 and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate are added successively to each micro plate well and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Rat MUC2, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Rat MUC2. You can calculate the concentration of Rat MUC2 in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
Precision
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, mid range and high level Rat MUC2 were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, mid range and high level Rat MUC2 were tested on 3 different plates, 20 replicates in each plate.

Recovery
The recovery of Rat MUC2 spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.
| Sample Type | Range (%) | Average Recovery (%) |
| Serum(n=8) | 90-105 | 96 |
| EDTA plasma (n=8) | 89-100 | 94 |
| Cell culture media (n=8) | 89-101 | 96 |
| Kit Components: | An unopened kit can be stored at 2-8? for 1 month. If the kit is not supposed to be used within 1 month, store the components separately according to the following conditions once the kit is received.
