"I did this assay twice. Both times were very good. First time I diluted the mouse serum and cell culture supernatant for 100-fold. However, the values of the serum are out of the range of standards. Then, I repeated the assay by diluting the mouse serum for 3000-fold. Much better than the 1st time, but still some values are marginally out of the range of standards. It is recommended that to do a dilution test using small amount of samples. Generally, you can get a very good result, just follow the instruction of this product. Easy to use. Good quality of data. It is a pretty good product with a reasonable price." (Customer’s Tip: "The serum needs to be diluted 5000-fold. The supernatant needs to be diluted 100-fold. Incubate for 10-15 min is enough after adding Color Developing Reagent.")

"The ELISA kit from Boster Bio was easy to use and gave reproducible results each time. The protocol was well explained and each thing was paid good attention. They also provided tools for data analysis (myassay.com) which I really found useful. The standard plot was as suggested. The cytokines analyzed were comparable to literature reported. Will definitely purchase again. Excellent product." (Customer’s Tip: "Stick to the protocol.")

"Our research focuses on in vitro modeling of organ fibrosis and drug discovery. The protocol for this product was easy to perform. However, there was some amount of variability with the replicates. Was effective in detecting A2M levels at pg levels. Reasonable sensitivity and reproducibility. Easy to use." (Customer’s Tip: "Follow protocol to the T.")

"I am very much satisfied with the product Human IL-1 Beta PicoKine™ ELISA Kit (EK0392) purchased from Boster Bio. I used the Boster Bio ElISA kit for the first time and I am very happy with this product. After trying the IL-1beta kit, I have purchased two other cytokine detection ELISA kits from Boster Bio. The methodology of Human IL-1 Beta PicoKine™ ELISA Kit is simplified and user friendly. It required minimum optimization for my experiments. The written instructions provided with the kit is very useful for running the ELISA. The results obtained so far have been consistent and reproducible. For my future ELISA experiments, I'll be buying the ELISA kit from Boster Bio."

"I used this assay kit for detection of the cytokines in the plasma samples. Only 100 uL of sample yielded absolutely flawless results. Plasma samples showed variable cytokine expression among independent groups which demonstrates the accuracy of this kit. Straightforward protocol. Very easy to perform. Highly recommended product for precise cytokine assay analysis." (Customer’s Tip: "Keep working area clean. Prepare necessary dilution of the sample before starting the procedure.")

"I used the kit to test the ADAMTS1 protein level in human endothelial cell lysates. The instructions are clear and the kit worked the first time with reproducible results. Decent expression level was detected and results are reproducible. Cheaper than most comparable product. I will keep using this product and will be happy to recommend to my colleagues." (Customer’s Tip: "Just follow the protocol.")

"Human ovarian cancer ascites samples were tested for presence of Galectin-1 protein. Depending on the donor, ascites samples were found to have varying concentrations of Gal-1. Straightforward and easy to use once a general idea of Gal-1 concentration in sample of interest is optimized." (Customer’s Tip: "If using for the first time, plate samples at least 3-4 dilutions to get consistent results among samples at the same dilution.")

"We are a pharmaceutical startup optimizing cell based drug assays where one of our endpoints was observing the differences in mature IL-1b production in the media. I have compared several kits from the most expensive versions of R&D, over eBioscience/Affymetrix to a more budget Boster's kit. The aim was to decide what is the best price for the value and quality we are getting for reliable and replicable ELISA analyses. This assay was used to test the effect of increasing concentrations of a drug on IL-1b levels (dose response). The kit reported similar data obtained from the other two kits (R&D and eBiosciences), with a slightly larger standard deviations. Results replicated the findings of the previous kits and the assay had good sensitivity/ instructions on how to perform assay and analyze data. I would use this assay in an academic lab for a project where no more than 2-3 96-well plates will be used. It should be done carefully by a scientist that has previously performed ELISA assays. There are many steps to it. It is a good quality budget option to the other leading kits on the market. I would not recommend it for a larger drug screen assay where more than 5 ELISAs kits ought to be used."

"This kit was very straightforward and easy to use. Followed the protocol given in the kit...Straight forward experiment, no tips needed. Kit worked great - positive control was clearly positive. Nothing bad about the kit, although our experimental results were negative. We would buy this kit or similar ELISA kits again from BosterBio."

"I used this kit to detect a recombinant IL1RA in rat serum and it worked very well. The procedure was easy to follow and my standard curve was right on target. If needed we will order this kit and use it again. The kit was able to detect our rIL1RA but was less sensitive in detecting an altered formulation of the protein."
