• Species: Mouse
• Analyte: IL-1 alpha    
• Format: 96-well strip plate
• Assay Range: 15.6 - 1,000 pg/ml
• Sensitivity: < 6 pg/ml
• Total Assay Time: 3 hours
• Sample Size: 50 µl/well
• Sample Types: Serum; EDTA and Heparin; and Sodium Citrate Plasma; Cell Culture Supernate
• Wavelength: A_{450 nm} minus A_{550 nm} *
  

*Correcting for optical imperfections in the microplates by subtracting A_{550 nm} is recommended, but not an essential procedure.

• Superior sensitivity - accurately measure as little as 6 pg/ml of mouse IL-1 alpha
  
• Broad assay range - detect both low and elevated levels with fewer sample dilutions and retests
  
• Small sample size - generate more results and conserve precious samples
