The Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) assay kit provides an convenient and accurate measurement of Lp(a) concentration in human serum or plasma.
Testing Principle
When Lp(a) in human serum is exposed to specific monoclonal antibody, the corresponding antigen-antibody complexes can be formed, making for an increased turbidity of the sample. The turbidity is proportional to the concentration of Lp(a) in the presence of the monoclonal antibody. The concentration of Lp(a) in the samples can be determined by comparing to the standard sample in the specific wavelength.
Product FeaturesLinearity range: 30 - 1000 mg/L; linear correlation coefficient ≥0.990; linearity deviation is within ±10%.Absorbance of blank ≤ 0.80Sensitivity: the difference of absorbance per unit of concentration (ΔA) ≥ 0.03 while testing the specific sample of concentration of 100 mg/L.Accuracy: Relative deviation is within ±10%. Precision: intra assay CV(%) ≤ 5%; inter assay CV(%) ≤ 5%.Technical Parameters
