Guinea pig Matrix Metalloproteinase 8 (MMP8) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie ELISA kit enables quantitative measurement of guinea pig Matrix Metalloproteinase 8 (MMP8), a neutrophil-derived collagenolytic enzyme implicated in extracellular matrix turnover, periodontal tissue breakdown, and inflammatory arthritis models.

Researchers studying collagen degradation, neutrophil activation, or connective tissue remodeling in cavy-based preclinical work can use this assay to build standard curves from supplied calibrators and interpolate unknown concentrations in their research specimens.

Each shipment includes a pre-coated microplate, detection antibody, standards, substrate, and wash reagents sufficient for 96 individual determinations run in parallel. The protocol calls for a sample volume of 50 µL per well, with absorbance readings collected on a standard plate reader.

Reconstituted standards should be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20 degrees C to preserve binding activity across multiple freeze-thaw cycles, with working dilutions kept refrigerated for short-term use.

Intended for research use only, this kit supports longitudinal studies of neutrophil-driven inflammation and connective tissue breakdown in cavy-derived research samples.
