Description

Mercodia Ultrasensitive Rat Insulin ELISA

A method for the quantitative determination of low levels of insulin in rat samples. The Rat Insulin ELISA is based on highly specific monoclonal antibodies with insignificant or no cross-reactivity to C-peptide or proinsulin.

Mercodia Diabetes Antigen Control – Rat & Mouse (10-1220-01) is designed to be used as a three-level control for the Mercodia Ultrasensitive Rat Insulin ELISA.
