Obesity is the abnormal increase in adipose tissue mass. This phenomenon increases the likelyhood of a number of diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep

Antibody pairs have been used for years to detect biomarkers in biological samples. They are a convenient and price-wise alternative to ready-to-use ELISAs, especially when they are used on a routine basis

ELISA are immunoassays widely used in biomarker detection and validation. They have been used in research and clinical settings for more than 40 years, and they allow to quantify, in a simple way, thousands

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

Hyaluronic acid (HA), or hyaluronan, is an ubiquitous, very high molecular mass polysaccharide that has applications

To dilute or not to dilute biological samples? And if yes, how much? That's the question!

Following our post on whether samples should be pooled or not when performing studies for

Back to dilution of samples. After our post on whether samples should be diluted or not, let's discuss today about how much they should be diluted.

Case # 1 - ELISA or simplex

ELISAs are widely used in biomarker-related studies, especially when a high number of samples is involved, and only a few biomarkers need to be quantified. That said, incubations can be somehow cumbersome,

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is important in many biological processes such as wound repair, tissue hydration and inflammation. HA is also a potential biomarker for diseases such as osteoarthritis, liver cirrhosis
