The Mouse FGF Basic (FGF2) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the precise measurement of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) levels in mouse serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This user-friendly kit offers exceptional sensitivity and specificity, ensuring accurate and reproducible results for a variety of research applications. FGF Basic, also known as FGF2, is a key growth factor that plays a critical role in various biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and tissue regeneration.
Dysregulation of FGF signaling has been linked to developmental disorders, cancer, and other diseases, highlighting the importance of studying FGF levels for understanding disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic interventions. With its advanced technology and reliable performance, the Mouse FGF Basic (FGF2) ELISA Kit is an invaluable tool for researchers seeking to investigate the role of FGF signaling in health and disease, ultimately advancing our understanding of complex biological processes.

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
Homogenize tissue in PBS with protease inhibitors, centrifuge and collect supernatant.
Cell Culture Supernatant
Centrifuge at 2500 rpm for 5 minutes and collect clarified supernatant.
Cell Lysate
Lyse cells using lysis buffer with protease inhibitors, centrifuge and collect protein supernatant.
