Introduction | Complement component 1q is a protein complex that functions in the complement system. C1Q consists of A, B and C subunits. C1q together with C1r and C1s form the C1 complex, which can be activated by binding to antigen-antibody complexes. Activation of the C1 complex initiates the classical complement pathway of the complement system. |
I appreciate the user-friendly natureExcellentThe step-by-step protocol was easy to follow, and the kit includes all necessary reagents. The quality of the antibodies used in the assay is evident in the low background noise and high signal-to-noise ratio we observed.
We are very satisfied with the quality and reliability of this kitExcellentThe included reagents were fresh and well-labeled, which facilitated a smooth workflow. We achieved high-quality results in a relatively short amount of time. The only suggestion would be to offer additional guidance on troubleshooting common issues.
The assay shows good specificity for C1q, and the results are reproducible across different experimentsExcellentOne of the standout features is the excellent customer support provided by the manufacturer. They promptly addressed our questions and provided useful tips to optimize the assay.
This kit is a great choiceExcellentWe appreciate the kit's detailed protocol and the comprehensive set of reagents included. The assay has proven to be highly sensitive, and we have seen significant differences in C1q levels between our control and experimental groups.
The assay is straightforward and provides clear, quantifiable resultsExcellentIt is crucial for our research into complement-related diseases, and the performance has been consistently high. Minor issues with pipetting accuracy have been the only challenges, but these are manageable with careful technique.
