Mouse C-telopeptide of Collagen alpha-1 (II)chain (CTXII) ELISA Kit

A Sandwich ELISA from Assay Genie designed for the accurate detection of C-telopeptide of Collagen alpha-1(II) chain (CTXII) levels in mouse serum, plasma, and cell culture supernates. CTXII is described by the manufacturer as a specific marker of type II collagen degradation, making the assay relevant to research into cartilage degradation and osteoarthritis, as well as broader studies of musculoskeletal disorders and joint disease.

Detection is colorimetric and the kit is configured for Solid Phase use with mouse reactivity. Sample types accepted include serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids, with specificity demonstrated against natural and recombinant mouse CTXII. The product is intended for research use only.

Manufacturer-stated performance figures include a detection range of 0.156–10 ng/ml and a sensitivity of 0.085 ng/mL. Reported precision values are an intra-assay CV of 8.3% and an inter-assay CV of 10.4%. Recovery averages 99% (range 93–105%) in serum and 101% (range 95–107%) in plasma. Linearity across serial dilution factors spans 87–119% in serum, 88–114% in EDTA plasma, and 94–116% in heparin plasma. The kit is stored at –20°C and shipped at +4°C.
