For: NF-light Simoa Assay Advantage Kit and disk kit for Simoa HD-1/X

Simoa Neurofilament Light Assay Kit will be used to assess levels of NF-L patients serum samples. NF-L is a biomarker of neuronal damage. As NF-L levels in serum are very low we need very sensitive assay which can measure such low levels. Only Simoa NF-L assay has potential measure serum NF-L levels in neurodegenerative disease patients as well as healthy controls.To maintain research integrity, with patient studies, it is critical that new variables are NOT introduced to the study.  Support of the Division of Intramural Research, NIAID, NIH.  Place of delivery is Bethesda, MD 20892.
