Canine 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA) ELISA Kit

Designed for the quantitative detection of 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA) in canine samples, this competitive ELISA kit from Assay Genie offers high sensitivity and specificity for accurate and reproducible results. 5HIAA is a metabolite of serotonin involved in the regulation of mood, sleep, and appetite, and abnormal levels have been linked to neuroendocrine tumors, carcinoid syndrome, and certain psychiatric disorders, making the kit a useful tool for investigating serotonin metabolism in canine health and disease.

The assay quantifies 5HIAA across a standard range of 0.625-40 ng/mL using a competitive format with a colorimetric readout measured at 450 nm. It is intended for use with canine serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants, with additional sample preparation guidance provided for urine, cerebrospinal fluid, cell lysates, tissue homogenates, tissue lysates, and breast milk. For research use only.
