Have recently looked at several ELISA kits for human G-CSF on line. Additionally, have looked at a number of reference papers for each kit, and to date have not found references that give enough detail to determine which kit is best. Kits looked at thus far, are from Boster...Picokine, RayBio, neo scientific, R&D Qunatikine Kit and ThermoFisher Sci.
I choose ELISA kits based on publication references, price and assay range. I compare different vendors to see if I can detect the analyte of my interest with in the assay range specified. If I could a get a discount as a first time purchaser (and a refund if the kit does not work), I prefer that. (Novatein Biosciences is one where I can get discount if I mention funding crunch)
Hi Robert!
I have used the R&D kit, but before I worked with you, so it's been awhile. I do think of R&D as the standard for many of these kits...but for a couple of reasons.... I
like Mike's answer as well. It never hurts to ask about samples, trial sizes or freebies. Many times it can let you do a head-to-head comparison. Sometimes, the head-to-head thing can be found on sites like, well, this one...:)
I hope this finds you well.
Best,
Ivo
I used Boster and all seems fine. No reason to send mountains of money to the larger companies that I could discover. If you get your Chinese lab mate to call them in their native language, they'd be in a good position to bargain for an even bigger discount :)
