Canine Osteocalcin (OC) ELISA Kit

Osteocalcin is a 49-amino acid vitamin K-dependent protein synthesized by osteoblasts during bone formation, and circulating levels serve as a biochemical indicator of bone turnover in canine studies.

This Assay Genie kit enables quantitative measurement of OC in dog-derived specimens, supporting research into skeletal development, age-related bone loss, fracture healing, and metabolic bone disorders in companion and working animals.

The procedure uses pre-coated microplate wells, biotinylated detection antibody, and streptavidin-HRP conjugation to generate a measurable signal proportional to OC concentration. Researchers can apply the assay to longitudinal monitoring of bone formation markers in clinical trials, orthopaedic evaluations, and nutritional studies investigating calcium or vitamin D supplementation effects on canine bone health.

Each kit provides reagents sufficient for 96 determinations, with a standard curve included for accurate interpolation of unknown sample concentrations. Intra-assay precision is below 10% CV, supporting reliable quantification across replicates. Protect reagents from light and refrigerate unopened components to preserve antibody binding activity across the stated shelf life.
