Chicken Melatonin (MT) ELISA Kit

Assay Genie's competitive ELISA kit is specifically designed for the precise measurement of melatonin levels in chicken serum and plasma. Intended for research use only, the assay uses a colorimetric competitive detection method with a measurement range of 15.6-1000 pg/mL.

Melatonin is a hormone that plays a critical role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle and has powerful antioxidant properties, and is known to affect immune function, reproductive processes, and circadian rhythms in chickens. Monitoring melatonin levels in chickens can provide valuable insights into their physiological processes and help researchers understand the effects of melatonin on poultry health and production.

The assay is read by measuring optical density at 450 nm with a microplate reader. Kit components include a dismountable ELISA microplate, lyophilized standard, sample diluent, assay diluents, detection reagents, wash buffer, substrate, stop solution, and plate sealer.
