The Rat Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) ELISA Kit is a highly reliable and sensitive assay designed for the accurate detection of ACTH levels in rat serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit offers high specificity, ensuring precise and consistent results for a variety of research applications.ACTH is a vital hormone that plays a key role in the regulation of adrenal gland function and the body's response to stress. Dysregulation of ACTH levels is associated with various conditions such as Cushing's syndrome, adrenal insufficiency, and pituitary tumors.
Therefore, accurate measurement of ACTH levels is essential for understanding these conditions and developing potential treatments.With its high sensitivity and accuracy, the Rat ACTH ELISA Kit is a valuable tool for researchers studying endocrine disorders, stress responses, and adrenal function in rat models. Trust in this kit to deliver reliable results for your research needs.

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.
