The Equine Growth Hormone (GH) ELISA Kit offered by Assay Genie is a powerful tool for accurately measuring levels of growth hormone in equine serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit is designed with high sensitivity and specificity, ensuring precise and reproducible results for various research applications.Growth hormone is a key regulator of growth and metabolism in horses, playing a crucial role in muscle development, bone growth, and overall health. Monitoring growth hormone levels can provide valuable insights into the growth and development of horses, as well as potential issues related to growth disorders or performance enhancement.
Whether studying equine physiology, monitoring growth in foals, or investigating the effects of exercise and nutrition on growth hormone levels, the Equine GH ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is an essential tool for researchers and veterinarians in the field of equine science. Trust in the accuracy and reliability of this kit to support your research and advance our understanding of equine growth and development.
Matrices listed below were spiked with certain level of recombinant the index and the recovery rates were calculated by comparing the measured value to the expected amount of the index in samples.

Linearity:
The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of the index and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.

Intra-assay Precision:
Intra-Assay: CV <10%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision:
Inter-Assay: CV <12%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.
Stability:
The stability of ELISA kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. Note:To minimize unnecessary influences on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, and incubator temperatures should be strictly regulated. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same experimenter from the beginning to the end.
