Human MMP Array C1

• Easy to use
• No specialized equipment needed
• Compatible with nearly any liquid sample
• Proven technology (many publications)
• Highly sensitive (pg/ml)
• Sandwich ELISA specificity
• Higher density than ELISA, Western blot or bead-based multiplex

MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-10, MMP-13, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-4

Multiplexed Protein Detection, Detection of Relative Protein Expression, Detecting Patterns of Cytokine Expression, Biomarker/ Key Factor Screening, Identifying Key Factors, Confirming a Biological Process

• Pipettors, pipet tips and other common lab consumables
• Orbital shaker or oscillating rocker
• Tissue Paper, blotting paper or chromatography paper
• Adhesive tape or Saran Wrap
• Distilled or de-ionized water
• A chemiluminescent blot documentation system (such as UVPs ChemiDoc-It or EpiChem II Benchtop Darkroom), X-ray Film and a suitable film processor, or another chemiluminescent detection system.

For best results, store the entire kit frozen at -20C upon arrival. Stored frozen, the kit will be stable for at least 6 months which is the duration of the product warranty period. Once thawed, store array membranes and 1X Blocking Buffer at -20C and all other reagents undiluted at 4C for no more than 3 months.
