Product Summary for Mouse IFN-alpha All Subtype Quantikine ELISA Kit
The Quantikine™ Mouse IFN-alpha All Subtype immunoassay is a 3.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure IFN-alpha in mouse cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains HEK293-expressed recombinant mouse IFN-alpha and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural mouse IFN-alpha showed dose response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine mouse kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural mouse IFN-alpha.

Precision
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty separate assays to assess inter-assay precision. Assays were performed by at least three technicians using one lot of kit components.
