The Rat Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) ELISA Kit is a powerful tool for researchers looking to accurately measure levels of AQP4 in rat samples. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, providing dependable and consistent results for a variety of research applications.Aquaporin 4 is a key protein involved in regulating water transport in the brain and spinal cord, playing a crucial role in maintaining brain homeostasis. Abnormalities in AQP4 expression have been linked to neurological conditions such as neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and traumatic brain injury, making it a valuable biomarker for studying these diseases and developing potential treatments.
With its precision and reliability, the Rat AQP4 ELISA Kit is an essential tool for researchers investigating the role of AQP4 in neurological disorders and exploring new therapeutic strategies.

Intra-assay Precision:
Intra-Assay: CV <10%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision:
Inter-Assay: CV <12%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.
Stability:
The stability of ELISA kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage conditions. Note: To minimize unnecessary influences on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity and incubator temperatures should be strictly regulated. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same experimenter from the beginning to the end.
