Description

A method for the quantitative determination of human proinsulin in serum or plasma.

The Mercodia Proinsulin ELISA is a highly specific tool registered for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) use. It is calibrated against International Reference Reagent IRR 84/611 for human proinsulin. The specificity of the utilized antibodies enables measurement of human proinsulin without interference from insulin or C-peptide.

Each Mercodia Proinsulin ELISA kit contains reagents for 96 wells, sufficient for 42 samples and one calibrator curve in duplicate. The microplate strip format (12 strips x 8 wells) is ideal when only a limited number of samples need to be analyzed.

Mercodia Diabetes Antigen Control (10-1134-01 (US only) or 10-1164-01) is designed to be used as a two-level control for human proinsulin.
