Horse Oxytocin (Oxtc) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this competitive ELISA kit is designed for the sensitive detection of oxytocin levels in horse serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. The manufacturer states a range of 31.2-2000 pg/mL. The kit is described as offering high accuracy and precision, supporting research into oxytocin, a hormone involved in uterine contractions during childbirth, lactation, and social bonding behaviors. Sample preparation protocols are additionally provided for urine, cerebrospinal fluid, cell lysates, tissue homogenates, tissue lysates, and breast milk.

Kit components include a dismountable ELISA microplate, lyophilized standard, sample diluent, assay diluents A and B, detection reagents A and B, wash buffer, substrate, stop solution, and plate sealer. A microplate reader with a 450 nm wavelength filter is required for readout. Components are stored at -20°C or 4°C as specified, the kit is for research use only, and shipping is at +4°C.

The kit is positioned for studying horse reproductive biology, behavior, and overall well-being, providing a tool to explore the role of oxytocin in equine physiology.
