Description
General description
Albumin, Beta-2 Microglobulin, Clusterin, Cystatin C, and Lipocalin-2/NGAL are important biomarkers for evaluating kidney function, tubular integrity, and early signs of renal injury. These analytes help detect glomerular filtration changes, proteinuria, and inflammation, making them valuable for monitoring acute and chronic kidney conditions. Their combined assessment supports sensitive and specific evaluation of renal health.
Application
MILLIPLEX® Qualified assays undergo rigorous assay development, verification, and Quality Control testing to achieve optimal performance. Simultaneously analyze up to 7 analytes in human serum or plasma samples.
Analytes included: α-1-Microglobulin, Albumin, Clusterin, Cystatin C, EGF, Lipocalin-2/NGAL, Osteopontin (OPN)
Assay Characteristics: Refer to kit protocol for assay cross-reactivity, sensitivity, precision, and accuracy.
