EPO Quantification

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a 30-kDa glycoprotein hormone that is primarily synthesized in the kidney and has a key function in the regulation of red blood cell production. EPO is normally present in urine at a concentration of approximately 10 ng/L and in serum at 70 ng/L.

The EPO Quantification tools from MAIIA Diagnostics offer a system for rapid and sensitive quantification of EPO, epoetins, NESP and Mircera.

- The EPO Quantification Kit is a lateral flow test using our Carbon Black Nano-Strings for determination of erythropoietin. An ordinary flatbed scanner can be used for detection. The procedure requires no detection equipment when used for semi-quantitative measurement.

- The MAIIAcalc software (provided for free for our kit customers) can be used to quickly calculate the signal intensities from the scanner image file, and to transfer the values for further calculation using suitable statistical software.
