How should plasma samples be prepared for use with the NGAL (human) ELISA kit?
Collect whole blood into commercially available anticoagulant-treated tubes e.g., EDTA-treated (lavender tops) or citrate-treated (light blue tops). Heparinized tubes (green…

The kit insert indicates that the PKA enzyme is provided as positive control. Is it possible to use it to perform a standard curve?
The active PKA kinase provided in the kit is to be used as a positive control and is not intended…

I am seeing well-to well variability amongst triplicates in the standards and samples. Values are within expected range but varies. What could be the reason?
Well-to well variability might be due to less than optimal shaking. Make sure a gentle but thorough mixing is applied as indicated…

It appears that the positive control is not working properly. What could be the reason?
The nature of that protein is that it can quickly degrade unless it is handled very carefully. It must be…
