Human Collagen Type IV Alpha 1 (COL4a1) ELISA Kit

A quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie, this COL4A1 ELISA Kit enables researchers to measure the alpha-1 chain of type IV collagen across diverse human sample types. COL4A1 encodes a major structural component of basement membranes and is widely studied in fibrotic disease, diabetic complications, tumor microenvironment biology, and inherited small vessel disorders such as HANAC syndrome.

Supplied as a complete kit supporting 96 assays, the assay is intended for research use only and produces an absorbance-based readout compatible with standard microplate readers. Each kit provides all reagents required for the standard ELISA workflow.

Researchers investigating extracellular matrix remodeling, glomerular basement membrane pathology, or cancer-associated stromal changes can apply this kit to track COL4A1 secretion and turnover in cell-based systems and tissue-derived preparations. The assay accommodates multiple biological matrices, including tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernatants, and various clinical samples, making it useful for studies bridging in vitro cell culture experiments and translational research.

For best results, samples should be handled according to standard laboratory practice for protein preservation, with appropriate aliquoting to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. Store kit components as recommended in the accompanying manual to maintain reagent stability across the shelf life of the product.
