Goat IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor 1) ELISA Kit (GTFI00038)

The Assay Genie quantitative immunoassay is built for measuring insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in caprine research applications. IGF-1 is a 7.5 kDa peptide hormone structurally related to proinsulin that mediates growth hormone signaling, drives tissue development, supports protein synthesis, and regulates metabolic activity across multiple organ systems.

Formulated specifically for goat studies, the kit supplies species-targeted reagents to quantify circulating IGF-1 levels in samples drawn from experimental herds, production flocks, and small ruminant research programs. The assay is configured for in vitro research use, supporting investigations in reproductive biology, lactation physiology, growth performance, and comparative endocrinology.

Reagents arrive refrigerated and should remain refrigerated upon receipt; the pre-coated plate and conjugate vials stay stable through the printed expiration date when handled according to the enclosed protocol. Each package contains the microplate, detection antibody, serial dilutions of standard, chromogenic substrate solution, wash buffer concentrate, and stop reagent sufficient for one full plate run.

Researchers tracking goat kid growth curves, evaluating nutritional or hormonal interventions, or comparing endocrine profiles between breeds will find this Assay Genie kit compatible with routine plate-based quantification. The chromogenic endpoint is captured on a standard microplate reader, allowing straightforward integration into existing laboratory workflows without specialized instrumentation.
