Sircol for soluble and insoluble collagen assays!
Measuring soluble collagen in biological samples is a straightforward experiment which can be done with the Sircol soluble collagen assay using Sirius Red dye (Sircol dye) in a convenient manner (we explored
Sample interference in ELISA tests
A previous post explained how samples obtained from patients treated with mAbs can show interference with WB & ELISA methods. More rarely, we can also find other interference effects caused by different
How to measure Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans?
Glycosaminoglycans (or mucopolysaccharides) are long un-branched polysaccherides which consist of disaccharide repeats. The repeats usually (with the exception of Keratan sulfate) consist of on amino sugar
