Heparan Sulfate ELISA Kit
- The basic performance of the kit
Accuracy of the kit
  The basic performance of the Heparan Sulfate ELISA Kit was evaluated.
The difference between wells in a plate
  Three kinds of samples (urine) were measured according to the protocol using four wells per sample (in the same plate).
