Bovine Fibroblast Growth Factor 1, Acidic (FGF1) ELISA Kit

An in vitro immunoassay from Assay Genie, this ELISA kit is purpose-built for quantitative measurement of acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF1) in bovine-derived samples. FGF1, also called aFGF or HBGF-1, is a heparin-binding mitogen implicated in angiogenesis, tissue repair, and mesoderm induction during embryonic development, making its reliable quantification relevant to reproductive biology, wound-healing studies, and veterinary growth-factor research.

The kit includes pre-coated plate wells, detection antibodies, standards, and the buffers needed to complete a standard curve and run unknown samples in parallel. Researchers working with cell-culture supernatants, tissue homogenates, or other biological sample matrices from cattle can apply the protocol directly; the supplied reagents are calibrated for bovine FGF1, which limits cross-reactivity with related growth factors.

Storage is straightforward: unopened kits remain stable when kept refrigerated, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles of the reconstituted standard should be avoided by aliquoting on first use. Reconstituted components and diluted samples are held refrigerated for short-term use or frozen for longer storage.

Intended for research use only, the kit supports studies of growth-factor signaling, vascular biology, and developmental pathways in bovine model systems. Each pack contains sufficient reagents for 96 individual assays, and the protocol is structured for routine laboratory workflows using standard plate-reader equipment.
