Plasma Tau and NfL Quantification

Tau and NfL concentrations were measured in plasma using the Simoa HD-1 Analyser and the “tau-2.0” and “NF-light” assay kits (Quanterix), according to manufacturer’s instructions and as described previously [18 (link)]. Samples from each diagnostic group were assorted across different loading plates and assay runs. Samples were tested in duplicate, by taking two aliquots from the same plate well. Quality control parameters are detailed in the Supplementary Material. All “tau-2.0” testing kits were from a single batch. “NF-light” kits were taken from two separate batches due to a manufacturer issue: a full calibration sample set tested for each batch showed no significant variation between them.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
