Chicken Myostatin (MSTN) ELISA Kit

This quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie measures myostatin (MSTN) concentrations in chicken-derived biological samples. Myostatin, also known as growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF-8), is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily and acts as a key negative regulator of skeletal muscle development. This makes the kit valuable for poultry science research, muscle biology studies, breeding programs, and investigations of growth performance in chickens.

The assay is supplied as a complete kit in a microplate format with a colorimetric-based readout. It is intended for research use only and supports applications in veterinary research, animal nutrition studies, and academic laboratories working on muscle growth regulation pathways. The kit is reactive specifically with chicken myostatin and supports medium-throughput experimental workflows, providing reagents for 96 individual determinations.

Each kit includes a pre-coated plate, standards, detection reagents, and the buffer solutions required to complete the workflow. Components should be refrigerated upon arrival to preserve performance and handled according to standard laboratory practices. Compatible sample matrices include serum preparations, plasma-derived samples, and tissue homogenates commonly used in avian research protocols.
