Rat TAC3/Tachykinin-3 ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this competitive ELISA kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of Tachykinin-3 (TAC3) in rat samples. The assay uses an antigen-coated plate format with a colorimetric readout. Tachykinin-3 is a key neuropeptide involved in the regulation of stress responses, reproductive functions, and pain perception, and its dysregulation has been linked to conditions such as chronic pain, infertility, and mood disorders, highlighting its relevance as a biomarker in biomedical research.

The kit is for rat samples and accepts serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid samples. It demonstrates a sensitivity of 46.875 pg/mL with an assay range of 78.125-5000 pg/mL. Storage is at 2-8°C (sealed); the product should not be cryopreserved.

Validated linearity (n=10) is 89-99% at 1:2, 82-99% at 1:4, and 88-102% at 1:8 for serum; 88-97%, 80-93%, and 85-101% for EDTA plasma; and 87-100%, 87-99%, and 88-104% for heparin plasma. Recovery ranges are 86-100% (average 95%) for serum, 85-100% (average 97%) for EDTA plasma, and 88-103% (average 92%) for heparin plasma.
