Human MICA ELISA Kit, Lot 21AO-1089 [Cancer Immune Checkpoint Assay Kit]
CAT#: IOK-05-P1000
Product Type: ELISA Kit
Target: MICA
Short Description
The kit is designed for in vitro quantitative measurement of Human MICA in Cell Culture Supernatant, Plasma, Serum.
Description
Human Immunoquantitative (PCR-Based) MICA ELISA Kit for cell culture supernatants, plasma, and serum samples.
Applications
ELISA
Application Notes
The Immuno-Quantitative ELISA kits are an innovative assay platform that combines the specificity and ease of use of an ELISA with the sensitivity of real-time PCR. This results in an assay that is simultaneously familiar and cutting edge and enables the use of only 1/10th the sample volume while also providing 10x more sensitivity than a traditional ELISA.
Comment
The Immuno-Quantitative ELISA kits are an innovative assay platform that combines the specificity and ease of use of an ELISA with the sensitivity of real-time PCR. Also called immuno-PCR, this detection platform results in an assay that is simultaneously familiar and cutting edge. Compared to traditional ELISA, quantitative ELISA enables the use of only 1/10th the sample volume while also providing 10x more sensitivity.
