The Bovine IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) ELISA Kit is a powerful tool for the accurate quantification of IGF-1 levels in bovine serum, plasma, and tissue samples. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, ensuring precise and reliable results for a wide range of research applications. IGF-1 is a key growth factor that plays a crucial role in regulating cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. It is involved in various physiological processes, including muscle growth, bone development, and metabolism.
Abnormal levels of IGF-1 have been linked to conditions such as growth disorders, diabetes, and cancer, highlighting the importance of monitoring IGF-1 levels in research studies. With its superior performance and ease of use, the Bovine IGF-1 ELISA Kit is an essential tool for researchers studying the role of IGF-1 in bovine physiology and disease. Order now and unlock the potential of your research with reliable and accurate IGF-1 measurements.

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.
