Mouse PCT (Procalcitonin) ELISA Kit

This Sandwich ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is designed for the precise quantification of procalcitonin (PCT) levels in mouse samples. Reactivity is specific to mouse, and the assay is validated for serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid samples. Detection is colorimetric, using a sandwich ELISA format with double antibody configuration for high specificity and reproducibility.

The assay delivers a sensitivity of 4.688 pg/mL and a working range of 7.813-500 pg/mL. Unopened components are stored at 2-8°C for 12 months. Procalcitonin is a key biomarker associated with the body's response to bacterial infections and sepsis, making this kit a useful tool for research into immune responses, inflammation, and infectious disease models in mice.

Linearity has been validated across dilution factors of 1:2, 1:4, and 1:8, with serum at 85-100%, 86-102%, and 86-104% respectively; EDTA plasma at 84-99%, 82-91%, and 83-97%; and heparin plasma at 82-95%, 81-98%, and 83-99%. Recovery ranges are 85-105% (average 92%) for serum, 87-104% (average 95%) for EDTA plasma, and 90-101% (average 98%) for heparin plasma. The associated UniProt entry is P70160, and the kit is positioned within Cell Biology research applications.
