Description

The Insulin ELISA is a high quality ELISA for specific measurement of human insulin in serum, plasma or cell culture media.

The Mercodia Insulin ELISA has little or no cross-reactivity to insulin analogs, rat or mouse insulin, which enables distinguishing endogenous human insulin, both in patients undergoing treatment with insulin analogs and in rat or mouse models.

Mercodia Diabetes Antigen Control (10-1134-01 (US only) or 10-1164-01) is designed to be used as a two-level control in the Insulin ELISA.
