| EPI

Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a hormone and medication which is involved in regulating visceral functions (e.g., respiration).It appears as a white microcrystalline granule.Adrenaline is normally produced by the adrenal glands and by a small number of neurons in the medulla oblongata.It plays an essential role in the fight-or-flight response by increasing blood flow to muscles, heart output by acting on the SA node, pupil dilation response, and blood sugar level.It does this by binding to alpha and beta receptors.It is found in many animals, including humans, and some single-celled organisms.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (pg/mL)	2000	1000	500	250	125	62.5	31.2	0
OD	0.216	0.298	0.417	0.669	0.955	1.405	1.79	1.865

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Dog EPI spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	81-101	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	101
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8)	97-108	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Dog EPI and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)	Cell Culture Supernates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	83-96	88-96	90-110
	Average (%)	92	93	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-104	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	93	97	110
