Bovine Casein Kappa (CSN3) ELISA Kit

Assay Genie provides a sandwich ELISA kit developed for the accurate quantification of bovine casein kappa (CSN3) levels in bovine milk samples. The assay is aimed at researchers in the dairy industry, supporting work on milk quality, nutritional value, and consistency in dairy production. Casein kappa is described as a key protein component in bovine milk, playing a crucial role in the formation of cheese and other dairy products.

The assay targets CSN3, listed under the synonyms CSN10, CSNk, KCA, and CASK, with a stated range of 0.312-20ug/mL. Reactivity is bovine and the validated sample type is milk. The kit has a shelf life of 12 months under appropriate storage conditions and is designated for research use only.

Reported validation data include spiked recovery of 80-102% in serum (average 91%, n=5), 81-99% in EDTA plasma (average 90%, n=5), and 80-89% in heparin plasma (average 84%, n=5). Linearity was demonstrated in the same matrices by testing spiked samples across serial dilutions from 1:2 to 1:16. Intra-assay precision is reported as CV <10% and inter-assay precision as CV <12%. Stability testing indicates a loss rate of less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage conditions.
