High-quality immunoassays designed for diabetes and metabolic research
Trusted Immunoassays for Diabetes & Metabolic Research
Choosing the right immunoassay is essential for accurate hormone measurement. This guide outlines key factors such as sensitivity, specificity, sample volume, and validation, so you can select the best solution for your research.
Understanding diabetes requires precise measurement of metabolic hormones that regulate glucose and pancreatic function. Biomarkers such as insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, GLP-1, and GIP provide essential insights into disease mechanisms and therapeutic response. Accurate, sensitive measurement of these molecules is crucial for advancing metabolic research and developing effective treatments.
Precision tools for metabolic science
Addressing global health challenges like diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease demands reliable, high-performance analytical tools. Mercodia offers immunoassays specifically designed for metabolic research, delivering consistent, reproducible results across clinical and preclinical samples. With exceptional sensitivity and specificity, our assays enable researchers to confidently explore disease pathways, evaluate therapies, and accelerate discovery.
Key Biomarkers for Diabetes & Metabolic Research
Accurate measurement of metabolic hormones is critical for understanding diabetes and metabolic disorders. Our immunoassays cover the most important biomarkers.
Insulin ELISAs
Mercodia offers a comprehensive selection of insulin immunoassays — from ultrasensitive ELISAs to MBeads and iso-insulin assays — tailored for different sample types and research needs.
The Mercodia C-peptide ELISA is a high-quality immunoassay for specific quantification of human C-peptide in serum, plasma or urine , allowing accurate assessment of endogenous insulin secretion.
The Mercodia Glucagon ELISAs provide highly specific and sensitive assays for measuring glucagon in plasma, serum, or preclinical samples, including rodent and non-human primates.
The Mercodia Total GLP-1 ELISA provides a chemiluminescent assay for accurate quantification of amidated GLP-1 in human plasma or serum, validated according to CLSI, FDA and EMA guidelines.
The Mercodia Total GIP ELISA enables reliable quantification of total GIP in human samples, with no cross-reactivity to GLP-1, glucagon, oxyntomodulin or glicentin.
Mercodia’s immunoassay portfolio offers high-quality, validated tools designed to support accurate and reliable biomarker measurement across metabolic research.
Mercodia assays are engineered to deliver consistent performance in complex research environments. Whether you’re conducting basic science, investigating metabolic pathways or developing the next generation of therapeutics, our tools ensure the precision your work demands.

Customer stories
Dr. Jean-Philippe Walhin
Lecturer in Human Physiology at the Department for Health, University of Bath
I found Mercodia through a publication that had used the Mercodia Insulin ELISA and I must say it has been a productive relationship. In our lab, we use ELISAs to analyze human blood samples following interventions related to diet and exercise and we love how the Mercodia products are reliable, easy to use and often cited by the scientific community. Also, the customer service is one of the best I have encountered!
Dr. Hanne Scholz
Director of the Human Islet Isolation Facility at Oslo University Hospital, Norway
I have always been delighted with the reproducibility and ease to use of Mercodia’s ELISA kits and have come to appreciate the assays as trustable with high sensitivity.
Dr. Samuel Acreman
University of Oxford at OCDEM (Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolism)
I use Mercodia products because of the accuracy and consistency of their results, but I love using them because they combine this with being so easy to use. It is this combination of quality and simplicity that sets them apart. On top of this, the team at Mercodia is not only very helpful but friendly too!
Ass. Professor Susan Burke
Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana
Mercodia has a small company vibe that makes you feel like you, the scientist, is important to them. The assays are reliable, and the customer service is outstanding. The main Mercodia products we use are the Insulin and Glucagon ELISAs. Our work involves understanding the alterations in the islet that occur in both forms of diabetes, therefore having reliable products to measure these hormones is crucial for us.
Dr. Burcak Yesildag
Vice President of Diabetes Research, InSphero
Mercodia has always been very interested in our research and products, kept us informed of and involved in their product development, and welcomed feedback and open discussions.
Dr. Joan Mir
Senior Scientist, InSphero
The Glucagon ELISA from Mercodia, which in our experience has an unparalleled degree of sensitivity and specificity, enables us to confidently offer alpha cell function assays to our customers.
Johannes Pfabe, Mag. med. vet.
Center for Physiology and Pharmacology (Institute of Physiology), Medical University of Vienna
About the MBeads assay; finally, an assay that works reliably for us! Furthermore, I think it is super easy to perform!
