The Mouse Somatostatin ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the precise measurement of somatostatin levels in mouse serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates. With its high sensitivity and specificity, this kit guarantees accurate and reproducible results, making it the perfect choice for a variety of research applications. Somatostatin is a key peptide hormone that plays a critical role in regulating various physiological processes, including the inhibition of growth hormone secretion, neurotransmission, and gastrointestinal function.
Dysregulation of somatostatin levels has been implicated in a range of diseases, such as diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, and neurological conditions, making this kit an invaluable tool for studying these conditions and exploring potential therapeutic interventions. Overall, the Mouse Somatostatin ELISA Kit offers researchers a reliable and efficient method for measuring somatostatin levels in mouse samples, helping to advance our understanding of the role of this important hormone in health and disease.

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 TMB substrate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Prepare standards, samples (minimum 1:2 dilution), blanks, assign wells, and pre-wash the plate twice.
2
Sample & Biotin-Antibody Binding: Add 50 µL standard or sample followed by 50 µL biotin-labeled antibody to each well. Mix gently and incubate at 37°C for 45 minutes.
3
Washing: Wash the plate 5 times with wash buffer, allowing 1 minute soak time per wash.
4
Color Development: Add TMB substrate and incubate in the dark at 37°C for 10-20 minutes until color develops.
5
Stop Reaction: Add stop solution to terminate the reaction. The color changes from blue to yellow immediately.
6
Reading: Measure absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader.
