Rat CALC2/Calcitonin gene-related peptide 2 ELISA Kit
The Rat CALC2 (Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide 2) ELISA Kit is a powerful tool for accurately measuring levels of CALC2 in rat serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. With its high sensitivity and specificity, this kit delivers reliable and reproducible results, making it perfect for a wide range of research applications. CALC2 is a critical neuropeptide involved in various physiological processes, including pain modulation, neurogenic inflammation, and vasodilation.
Its dysregulation has been implicated in conditions such as migraines, fibromyalgia, and inflammatory diseases, making it a valuable biomarker for studying these conditions and exploring potential therapeutic interventions. Overall, the Rat CALC2 ELISA Kit is an invaluable resource for researchers looking to investigate the role of CALC2 in health and disease, providing accurate and precise measurements to advance our understanding of this important neuropeptide.

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
