Hamster M-CSF (Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor) ELISA Kit (HMFI0015-C)

This competitive immunoassay from Assay Genie quantitatively measures macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF, also known as CSF1) in hamster blood-derived samples. The kit delivers a calibration range of 31.25 to 2000 pg/mL with a minimum detectable dose of approximately 15 pg/mL, supporting precise cytokine profiling in small-animal immunology studies. A 50 uL sample aliquot is loaded alongside serial standards, and the competitive binding reaction is developed with an HRP-labeled reporter and TMB chromogen, then read on a standard microplate reader. Researchers routinely apply this kit to hamster models of viral pathogenesis, leishmaniasis, atherosclerosis, and bone marrow macrophage differentiation, where M-CSF levels reflect monocyte recruitment and tissue inflammation. The kit is supplied refrigerated; store at 4 degrees C upon receipt, aliquot the standard into single-use vials to limit freeze-thaw cycles, and protect the working substrate from light. For research use only.
