Oxytocin ELISA kit

High specificity oxytocin ELISA kit for neuroendocrinology research.



ADI-900-153	96 wells	380.00 USD

Specific - does not detect vasopressin, providing confidence in assay results
Sensitive - detect < 12 pg/ml oxytocin
Easy-to-use - liquid color-coded reagents and pre-coated plates reduce errors
Trusted - highly published in peer reviewed literature

The Oxytocin EIA kit is a colorimetric competitive enzyme immunoassay kit with results overnight + 1 hour. Absorbance is read at 405 nm. Very low reactivity with vasopressin provides confidence in assay results. Sensitive quantification of < 12 pg/mL oxytocin. Ready-to-use liquid color-coded reagents reduce errors in the lab.

Product Specification

Sensitivity:	11.7 pg/ml (range 15.6 - 1,000 pg/ml)

Kit/Set Contains:	GxR IgG Microtiter plate, Conjugate, Antibody, Assay buffer, Wash buffer concentrate, Standard, pNpp Substrate, Stop solution

Application:	For the quantitative determination of Oxytocin in culture supernatants, milk, plasma, and serum from any species. Cited sample types include cerebral spinal fluid (ref. 1), saliva (ref. 2, 4), and tissue (ref. 1).

Use/Stability:	Store all components at +4°, except standard and conjugate at -20°.

Miscellaneous/General:	Oxytocin is a neurohypophysial peptide which is produced in the paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary. The molecule consists of nine amino acids linked with a [1-6] disulfide bond and a semi-flexible carboxyamidated tail. A hormone once thought to be limited to female smooth muscle reproductive physiology, more current findings have determined that oxytocin also functions as a neurotransmitter, may be involved in neuropsychiatric disorders, social/sexual behavior, and is important in male reproductive physiology. Oxytocin and the related neurohypophysial peptide, Arg-Vasopressin, maintain renal water and sodium balance.
