beta-Hydroxybutyric acid (BHA) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this competitive ELISA kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHA), a key ketone body produced during ketosis, a metabolic state in which the body draws on fat for energy in the absence of sufficient carbohydrates. The kit supports research applications in metabolism, nutrition and metabolic disease.

Validated for serum and plasma samples, with additional protocols supplied for cell culture supernatant, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, cell lysates, tissue homogenates, tissue lysates and breast milk. The assay uses a competitive detection format with a working range of 0.156-10 umol/L, and is described as offering high sensitivity and specificity for precise and consistent results. The product is for research use only.

Elevated beta-hydroxybutyric acid levels have been associated with diabetes, ketogenic diets and metabolic disorders, making this analyte a valuable biomarker for studying these conditions and monitoring ketosis.
