The Guinea Pig BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) ELISA Kit is a vital tool for the precise quantification of BDNF levels in guinea pig serum, plasma, and tissue lysates. This kit offers exceptional accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, ensuring dependable and consistent results for various research applications. BDNF is a key neurotrophic factor that plays a critical role in neuronal survival, growth, and differentiation, making it essential for cognitive function and neuroplasticity. Dysregulation of BDNF has been linked to various neurological disorders and mental health conditions, highlighting its significance as a biomarker for studying these conditions and exploring potential therapies.
With the Guinea Pig BDNF ELISA Kit, researchers can confidently investigate the role of BDNF in neurobiology, neurodevelopment, and neuropsychiatric disorders, advancing our understanding of the complex mechanisms governing brain function and offering new insights into potential treatment strategies.

Note:The below protocol is a sample protocol. Protocols are specific to each batch/lot. For the correct instructions please follow the protocol included in your kit.
Step
Procedure
1
Reagent & Plate Preparation: Equilibrate reagents and TMB substrate to room temperature. Set standard, test sample and control (zero) wells on the pre-coated plate and record their positions.
2
Primary Incubation: Prepare standards, samples, blanks and load into designated wells. Incubate plate at 37°C for 90 minutes to allow antigen binding.
3
Detection Antibody Binding: Add biotin-labeled detection antibody and incubate at 37°C for 60 minutes.
4
HRP-Streptavidin Binding: Add HRP-Streptavidin (SABC) and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes.
5
Color Development: Add TMB substrate and incubate in the dark for 10–20 minutes.
6
Stop Reaction & Reading: Add stop solution and measure absorbance at 450 nm immediately.
Sample Type
Protocol
Serum
Allow blood to clot, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 20 minutes, collect supernatant supernatant and store appropriately.
Plasma
Collect using anticoagulant tubes, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 15 minutes at 2–8°C and collect plasma.
Tissue Homogenate
