Macrophage Interleukin 23 (IL23) ELISA Kit, qPCR (MTS-1123-HM81)

In this product line, "qPCR" indicates the detection approach is qPCR-based rather than standard absorbance, which can be useful when you want a different dynamic response than colorimetric detection. It's positioned for IL-23 measurement with a workflow that emphasizes qPCR readout principles. For planning, treat it as a method-specific kit: run a pilot for dilution/linearity, ensure your qPCR setup is validated, and standardize sample handling across groups.

You can compare trends (up/down changes) more confidently than absolute values across different detection platforms. Different methods can yield different curve shapes, sensitivity windows, and response behaviors. If cross-platform comparability matters, run a bridging experiment: measure the same sample set on both platforms and use regression or normalization to align them. Keeping identical sample prep, storage, and freeze-thaw history is critical for meaningful comparison.

For macrophage projects, the most common matrices are cell culture supernatants and sometimes serum/plasma from in vivo models. Clarify supernatants by centrifugation to remove debris, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and consider adding protease inhibitors if your collection protocol typically uses them. Always pilot a few dilutions to find the range where inhibition or matrix effects are minimal, and include spike-in controls to verify recovery.
