Used in research settings to detect and quantify Human Type II Collagen Helical Peptide (HELIX-II) in biological samples such as serum, plasma, or synovial fluid. This ELISA kit is particularly valuable in studies related to cartilage metabolism, joint diseases like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and connective tissue disorders. By measuring HELIX-II levels, researchers can assess type II collagen degradation, which reflects cartilage turnover and disease progression. The kit supports biomarker validation and evaluation of therapeutic interventions targeting joint health. It is intended for laboratory use only and not for diagnostic purposes in clinical settings.
