Human ca242 (cancer antigen 242) ELISA Kit (HUFI03424)

The CA242 antigen is a sialylated carbohydrate tumor marker predominantly associated with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and is also useful for monitoring colorectal carcinoma and selected gastrointestinal malignancies. Assay Genie's quantitative sandwich ELISA supports clinical and translational workflows by measuring CA242 concentrations in serum and plasma, supporting longitudinal tracking of disease progression, therapeutic response, and post-treatment surveillance. The assay reportable range spans 0.156 to 10 U/mL with analytical sensitivity below 0.094 U/mL, and the procedure requires a 50 uL sample volume per well. Reconstituted reagents and prepared aliquots should be stored at -20 degrees C to preserve antibody binding activity across multiple freeze-thaw cycles. Researchers should evaluate CA242 values within the reportable range alongside complementary markers such as CA 19-9 or CEA when assessing pancreatic cancer.
