Description
Ultrasensitive C-peptide ELISA | 10-1141-01
The Mercodia Ultrasensitive C-peptide ELISA is a high quality immunoassay for specific quantification of human C-peptide in serum, plasma, cell culture media or urine.
- High sensitivity, detetction limit < 2.5 pmol/L (0.0076 µg/L)
- No or minimal cross-reactivity to insulin or proinsulin
- High specificity enables measurement of human C-peptide in mouse and rat models
- Calibrated against International Reference Reagent IRR84/510 for human C-peptide
- CE/IVD labeled on select markets
Even higher sensitivity can be achieved by using an alternative protocol described in TechNote 0144.
