Mercodia Glucagon ELISA – 10 μL is a highly specific and sensitive immunoassay for measuring glucagon in serum, EDTA plasma, and cell culture media samples from rat, mouse, and non-human primates.
A revolutionizing ELISA for sensitive and specific determination of glucagon in rat, mouse, and non-human primate (NHP) samples. A research tool advancement that allows science to take the next step.
The highly specific monoclonal antibodies used in this assay enable accurate determination of glucagon with low to no levels of significant cross-reactivity to other circulating pro-glucagon-derived peptides. Under certain conditions like post-bariatric surgery, the concentrations of glicentin have been demonstrated to be elevated to levels that might interfere.
