| Range | 50 - 2000 ng/ml |
| Incubation time | 4 hours |
| Sample volume | 25 μl (dilute 1:2) |
| Sample type | Serum (also used for cell culture, synovial fluid, cartilage extract) |
| Sample preparation | Serum samples should be aliquoted, rapidly frozen and stored at -70 °C. Avoid repeated freezing/thawing of samples. |
