Human Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (aMSH) ELISA Kit
The Human Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (αMSH) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the accurate detection of αMSH levels in human serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, ensuring reliable and reproducible results for a variety of research applications.Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone is a key neuropeptide involved in regulating various physiological functions, including pigmentation, inflammation, and energy homeostasis. Dysregulation of αMSH levels has been implicated in conditions such as obesity, autoimmune diseases, and skin disorders, making it a valuable biomarker for studying these conditions and exploring potential therapeutic interventions.
With its easy-to-use protocol and comprehensive instructions, the Human αMSH ELISA Kit from Assay Genie provides researchers with a powerful tool for accurately measuring αMSH levels, advancing their understanding of the role of this hormone in health and disease.

Linearity:
The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of the index and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.

Intra-assay Precision:
Intra-Assay: CV <10%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision:
Inter-Assay: CV <12%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.
Stability:
The stability of ELISA kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. Note:To minimize unnecessary influences on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, and incubator temperatures should be strictly regulated. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same experimenter from the beginning to the end.
