Human Lipocalin 1 (LCN1) ELISA Kit

Quantify human LCN1, also known as tear lipocalin and von Ebner's gland protein, in clinical and research samples using this colorimetric assay from Assay Genie. The 96-assay configuration accommodates full-plate workflows and reads on standard microplate spectrophotometers across visible wavelengths, supporting higher-throughput screening. Valid sample matrices include tear fluid, saliva, serum, and plasma, covering the exocrine secretion sites and the systemic circulation where this small extracellular carrier protein can be measured. The kit supports investigations into dry eye disease, oral inflammatory conditions, salivary gland pathophysiology, and the broader biology of the lipocalin family, whose members bind diverse small lipophilic molecules including fatty acids, sterols, retinol, and odorants. Capture and detection antibodies are matched to native human LCN1, providing discrimination from paralogous lipocalins in the same family. Reagents are stored refrigerated until first use, tolerate multiple freeze-thaw cycles, and remain stable across the routine shelf life of the product.
