How to choose your glucagon ELISA

Mercodia
4 Sept 2023

In this application note, Mercodia discusses the importance of choosing the right glucagon ELISA for research and clinical purposes. Glucagon, a vital hormone regulating metabolic homeostasis, influences various metabolic processes, including glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, as well as energy intake and expenditure. Mercodia, with its extensive experience in developing high-quality immunoassays, offers specific and sensitive assays designed to ensure researchers obtain reliable results. Accurate glucagon readings are crucial, as inaccuracies can lead to problematic and negative implications for both research and clinical decisions.

Glucagon ELISA

Mercodia

The Mercodia Glucagon ELISA is a CE/IVD-labelled, highly specific, and sensitive immunoassay for measuring glucagon in plasma and serum. The highly specific monoclonal antibodies used in this assay enable accurate determination of glucagon without significant cross-reactivity to other circulating pro-glucagon-derived peptides.

Cell Adhesion AssaysCell adhesion assays are used to quantitate attachment and analyze the molecular mechanisms for extracellular matrix adhesion, cell migration and sensitivity to inhibitors. Find the best cell adhesion assay equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ELISAEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), also known as enzyme immunoassays (EIA), are used for the detection and quantification of proteins, peptides and antibodies in a sample. ELISA often comes in kit format, with pre-selected antibody pairs to detect specific proteins or biomarkers of diseases such as diabetes and obesity, or cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Detection is made possible with chemiluminescent, fluorescent or colorimetric substrates and detection instruments such as microplate / ELISA readers. Other kits available include: Enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assays for the quantification of protein-producing cells and chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIA) kits.
