Bovine Casein Alpha (CSN1) ELISA Kit

A quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie measures alpha-casein (CSN1) concentrations in bovine milk specimens. Alpha-casein constitutes the major phosphoprotein fraction in ruminant milk, and quantifying its abundance supports breeding selection for high-protein dairy cattle, optimization of cheese yield, and routine quality assessment in commercial dairy processing operations.

The colorimetric ELISA kit works directly with milk matrices and fits routine bench workflows in dairy research laboratories, food safety testing facilities, and academic studies on lactation biology. Investigators studying CSN1S1 genetic variants across Holstein, Jersey, and other Bos taurus breeds can correlate allelic differences with protein expression profiles, while processors monitor casein retention through cheese and yogurt manufacturing stages.

Beyond production applications, the kit enables screening for milk protein adulteration in mixed-origin dairy products and supports allergen labeling verification in finished foods. Each kit contains reagents sufficient for 96 assays and is intended for research use only.
