Human Adrenocorticotropic Hormone PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS0001)

This competitive ELISA kit from Assay Genie is built for quantitative measurement of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), the 39-amino acid peptide produced by corticotroph cells of the anterior pituitary that drives cortisol release through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. The assay is configured for human samples, with reactivity validated against cell culture supernatants and serum, and uses an absorbance-based readout compatible with standard microplate readers.

Because ACTH is a labile peptide that degrades quickly outside the body, rapid sample handling and refrigerated processing of collected specimens are recommended for accurate quantification. The kit provides 96 individual assays in a microplate-based workflow to support batch processing of clinical cohorts and in vitro experimental work, and is intended for research use only. Applications include studies of pituitary function, stress physiology, Cushing's and Addison's disease models, and endocrine disruption screening in cell culture systems.
