Background
Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is an interleukin that is naturally produced by dendritic cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and human B-lymphoblastoid cells (NC-37) in response to antigenic stimulation. IL-12 belongs to the family of interleukin-12. IL-12 family is unique in comprising the only heterodimeric cytokines, which includes IL-12, IL-23, IL-27 and IL-35.

FAQs Customer Reviews Related Products

What sample types are supported, and is this kit quantitative or only for screening?

This IL‑12 kit is a colorimetric, quantitative competition ELISA supporting cell culture supernatant, plasma, serum, and tissue homogenate. Because it's labeled quantitative, you can obtain concentration estimates using a standard curve, but competition assays demand consistent technique. For screening, it also works well for ranking samples-just ensure your dilution scheme places samples in the responsive portion of the curve.

How long does the assay take, and what sample volume is required per well?

The stated assay time is 1.5 hours, and the sample volume is 100 µL per well. That relatively short runtime can be useful for busy schedules. To maintain quality, pre-plan your plate map, prepare standards and samples before starting, and keep timing synchronized across rows to avoid edge effects-especially important for competition curves where timing differences can shift signal.

What are the storage conditions and shelf-life expectations for multi-run projects?

Storage is listed at 4°C, with a 6-month expiry. For multi-run studies, keep reagents sealed, avoid contamination, and follow protocol guidance for any reconstituted components. If you will not use all wells at once, plan your experiments so standards and controls are repeated each run. This helps compare results across time and detect any gradual performance changes.

  • Fast 15‑hour workflow was perfect for time‑sensitive experiments
    We often need quick turnaround for cytokine results to decide next-day stimulation conditions. The 1.5‑hour assay time was a major advantage. We ran serum and supernatant samples and got consistent quantitative trends. The competition format required precise pipetting, but with good technique it produced stable curves. Overall, it helped speed decisions in our macrophage activation studies.
  • Wide sample-type support made it versatile for IL‑12 comparisons
    We tested IL‑12 across plasma, tissue homogenate, and cell culture supernatant. The kit explicitly supports these matrices, and in our experience it handled them well after dilution optimization. The competition format is slightly more demanding than sandwich ELISA, but it was manageable and reproducible once we standardized washing and mixing. We'd recommend it for labs needing flexibility across sample types.
  • Good stability across repeated use when stored correctly at 4°C
    We didn't finish all tests in one week, so stability mattered. With 4°C storage and good lab habits (aliquoting, minimizing exposure, consistent washing), performance stayed steady across multiple runs. Data supported our expected IL‑12 biology in stimulation experiments. If you run multiple small batches, keep controls consistent and the kit remains dependable for quantitative interpretation.
