Rabbit α-CTx (Alpha Crosslaps) ELISA Kit

The Rabbit CTX-Alpha Crosslaps ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the quantitative detection of CTX-Alpha Crosslaps levels in rabbit serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates. This kit offers high sensitivity and accuracy, providing reliable results for research purposes.CTX-Alpha Crosslaps is a biomarker of bone resorption, reflecting the breakdown of bone tissue. Elevated levels of CTX-Alpha Crosslaps are associated with conditions such as osteoporosis, bone metastases, and other bone-related diseases.

By measuring CTX-Alpha Crosslaps levels, researchers can gain valuable insights into bone turnover and assess the effectiveness of treatments targeting bone resorption.With its easy-to-use format and superior performance, the Rabbit CTX-Alpha Crosslaps ELISA Kit is an essential tool for studying bone metabolism and evaluating potential therapeutic interventions for bone disorders.

Recovery: Matrices listed below were spiked with certain level of α-CTx and the recovery rates were calculated by comparing the measured value to the expected amount of α-CTx in samples.
MatrixRecovery range(%)Average(%)
serum(n=5)92-10397
EDTA plasma(n=5)87-10295
heparin plasma(n=5)85-9892
Linearity: The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of α-CTx and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.

When carrying out an ELISA assay it is important to prepare your samples in order to achieve the best possible results. Below we have a list of procedures for the preparation of samples for different sample types.

Sample TypeProtocol
Serum If using serum separator tubes, allow samples to clot for 30 minutes at room temperature. Centrifuge for 10 minutes at 1,000x g. Collect the serum fraction and assay promptly or aliquot and store the samples at -80°C. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

If serum separator tubes are not being used, allow samples to clot overnight at 2-8°C. Centrifuge for 10 minutes at 1,000x g. Remove serum and assay promptly or aliquot and store the samples at -80°C. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

PlasmaCollect plasma using EDTA or heparin as an anticoagulant. Centrifuge samples at 4°C for 15 mins at 1000 × g within 30 mins of collection. Collect the plasma fraction and assay promptly or aliquot and store the samples at -80°C. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. Note: Over haemolysed samples are not suitable for use with this kit.
Urine & Cerebrospinal FluidCollect the urine (mid-stream) in a sterile container, centrifuge for 20 mins at 2000-3000 rpm. Remove supernatant and assay immediately. If any precipitation is detected, repeat the centrifugation step. A similar protocol can be used for cerebrospinal fluid.
Cell culture supernatantCollect the cell culture media by pipette, followed by centrifugation at 4°C for 20 mins at 1500 rpm. Collect the clear supernatant and assay immediately.
Cell lysatesSolubilize cells in lysis buffer and allow to sit on ice for 30 minutes. Centrifuge tubes at 14,000 x g for 5 minutes to remove insoluble material. Aliquot the supernatant into a new tube and discard the remaining whole cell extract. Quantify total protein concentration using a total protein assay. Assay immediately or aliquot and store at ≤ -20 °C.
Tissue homogenatesThe preparation of tissue homogenates will vary depending upon tissue type. Rinse tissue with 1X PBS to remove excess blood & homogenize in 20ml of 1X PBS (including protease inhibitors) and store overnight at ≤ -20°C. Two freeze-thaw cycles are required to break the cell membranes. To further disrupt the cell membranes you can sonicate the samples. Centrifuge homogenates for 5 mins at 5000xg. Remove the supernatant and assay immediately or aliquot and store at -20°C or -80°C.
Tissue lysatesRinse tissue with PBS, cut into 1-2 mm pieces, and homogenize with a tissue homogenizer in PBS. Add an equal volume of RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitors and lyse tissues at room temperature for 30 minutes with gentle agitation. Centrifuge to remove debris. Quantify total protein concentration using a total protein assay. Assay immediately or aliquot and store at ≤ -20 °C.
Breast MilkCollect milk samples and centrifuge at 10,000 x g for 60 min at 4°C. Aliquot the supernatant and assay. For long term use, store samples at -80°C. Minimize freeze/thaw cycles.
