Selecting the correct insulin assay is essential for obtaining accurate and reliable results. Whether you are analyzing insulin in plasma, serum, cell culture media, or perifusion samples, having an assay that matches your experimental needs ensures precision in quantification.
Assay Selection Guide for Insulin Research
We offer a comprehensive range of insulin assays designed for specific applications and sample types. Find the right assay based on your research needs.
Ultra-sensitive insulin detection?
Choose the Ultrasensitive Insulin ELISA (10-1132-01). This assay detects insulin levels as low as 0.15 mU/L, making it ideal for studies requiring high sensitivity. (Range: 0.15 – 20 mU/L, Sample volume: 25 µL)
Analyzing insulin in plasma or serum?
The Insulin ELISA (10-1113-01)is your go-to choice. Available in a cost-effective 10-pack for high sample volumes. (Range: 3.0 – 200 mU/L, Sample volume: 25 µL)
Studying both endogenous and exogenous insulin?
Use theIso-Insulin ELISA (10-1128-01), ideal for metabolic studies involving insulin therapy. (Range: 3.0 – 100 mU/L, Sample volume: 25 µL)
Working with perifusion or in vitro culture samples?
Our MBeads Assays provide accurate and efficient insulin measurement for various applications. The Insulin (Total) MBeads Assay (10-1353-01) supports both mouse and human samples, optimized for high-throughput analysis. (Range: 23.3 – 1302 mU/L, Sample volume: 5 µL)
For highly specific human insulin detection with minimal cross-reactivity, the Insulin MBeads Assay (10-1371-01) is ideal for volume-limited experiments. (Range: 6.73 – 960 mU/L, Sample volume: 10 µL)
Working with insulin lispro?
The Lispro NL-ELISA (10-1291-01) provides specific and reliable detection of this fast-acting insulin analog. (Range: 1.0 – 500 mU/L, Sample volume: 10 µL)

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!

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.

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!

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.
