Description

The Ultrasensitive Insulin ELISA is a high quality immunoassay for specific quantification of low levels of human insulin in serum or plasma.

The Mercodia Ultrasensitive 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. The Mercodia Insulin ELISAs are the only ELISA assays to satisfy the total error requirements in the Insulin Standardization Program.

 

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 Ultrasensitive Insulin ELISA.
