General Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) ELISA Kit

Prostaglandin E1, also known as alprostadil, is a key arachidonic acid-derived lipid mediator that governs vasodilation, platelet aggregation, smooth muscle relaxation, and inflammatory cascades. The Assay Genie General Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) ELISA Kit delivers a competitive immunoassay workflow for quantitative measurement of this prostaglandin across diverse experimental systems, supporting research in vascular biology, reproductive endocrinology, renal physiology, and inflammation models.

Configured for 96 assays, the kit accommodates a wide variety of starting materials, including tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernatants, and similar laboratory-prepared samples derived from multiple species. Common research applications include investigation of erectile function, ductus arteriosus patency regulation, peripheral circulatory studies, and characterization of cyclooxygenase pathway activity, where PGE1 concentrations serve as a direct readout of prostaglandin biosynthesis.

The protocol follows a standard microplate-based ELISA procedure with incubation, washing, and substrate development steps, producing data intended for in vitro and research use only. Reagents and samples should be handled according to standard immunological assay practice.
