General Homocysteine (HCy) ELISA Kit

Manufactured by Assay Genie, this competitive ELISA supports cardiovascular and metabolic research where elevated homocysteine levels act as a biomarker for hyperhomocysteinemia, an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and venous thromboembolism. Investigators studying folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6 status also quantify HCy, since these B-vitamin cofactors drive methionine remethylation and clearance from the bloodstream. The kit's broad sample compatibility spans human serum, matched EDTA plasma, and tissue homogenate preparations, supporting work in nephrology, neurology, and pregnancy-related complications linked to disrupted one-carbon metabolism. Each plate arrives pre-coated with capture reagents and is accompanied by assay buffer and a printed protocol, allowing batch processing of unknowns alongside internal QC controls; the standard curve covers 1.56 to 100 µmol/L with sensitivity near 0.5 µmol/L, and the 50 µL sample volume per well keeps consumption low for precious clinical specimens. Reagents should be kept refrigerated upon arrival, and the microplate format supports manual or automated workflows in research use only laboratories.
