General Homovanillic Acid (HVA) ELISA Kit

Dopamine Metabolite Quantification

Homovanillic acid (HVA) is the principal dopamine metabolite, and measuring its concentration helps researchers track catecholamine turnover in neurological, psychiatric, and oncology studies. The Assay Genie competitive ELISA is configured for this analyte, allowing laboratories to profile HVA in serum samples, plasma specimens, and prepared tissue homogenates. Its Universal reactivity designation means the same kit can be deployed for human specimens and animal model work without species-restricted reagents.

Each package contains reagents for 96 assays, sufficient for a full microplate run with standard curve replicates and unknowns. The competitive format pairs sample antigen against a labelled reference, and the resulting colorimetric end-point is read on a standard plate reader. Beyond biomarker surveillance, the kit supports neuroblastoma screening workflows, pheochromocytoma investigation, and movement-disorder research linked to dopaminergic neuron loss.

Reagents arrive in labelled vials ready for the workflow, with standards provided for curve generation. Intended for research use only, the kit is suited to laboratories studying neurotransmitter metabolism, tumour marker panels, and behavioural or pharmacological models that involve the dopamine pathway.
