Equine Alpha-Fetoprotein (aFP) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this colorimetric immunoassay enables quantitative measurement of Alpha-Fetoprotein across equine biological specimens. The kit supports veterinary reproductive endocrinology research, where circulating Alpha-Fetoprotein concentrations in mares serve as a meaningful indicator of fetal hepatic activity and developmental progression during gestation. Laboratory teams apply it to pregnancy staging, fetal viability monitoring, and the differential workup of hepatocellular abnormalities in adult horses. The format provides 96 individual assay determinations and accepts equine plasma samples, serum specimens, and tissue homogenate preparations. Reagents include pre-coated well plate, lyophilized reference standards, detection antibody solution, colorimetric substrate, and concentrated wash buffer vials for complete workflow support. Recommended refrigerated storage protects antibody and standard integrity; bring all components to room temperature before beginning the protocol. Each kit ships with a comprehensive insert detailing sample dilution guidance, standard curve preparation, and result calculation steps. Results are read on a standard microplate reader, with the absorbance pattern generated by the substrate reaction producing analyte quantification across the working range. Applications include clinical veterinary laboratories, university research programs, and breeding facility diagnostic workflows investigating maternal-fetal physiology in horses.
