Human N-terminal propeptide of Collagen alpha-1 (I)chain (P1NP) ELISA Kit

A high-quality Sandwich ELISA Kit from Assay Genie for the quantitative measurement of human N-terminal propeptide of Collagen alpha-1(I) chain, also known as P1NP or PINP. The assay is reactive with human samples and uses a colorimetric detection method validated for serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernatants and other biological fluids. It specifically detects natural and recombinant human P1NP, with a detection range of 3.12–200 ng/mL and a sensitivity of 1.6 ng/mL.

Reported precision values are an intra-assay CV of 6.3% and an inter-assay CV of 8.5%. Recovery has been validated at an average of 106% (range 100–112%) for serum and 108% (range 102–114%) for plasma. Reagents are stored at -20°C and shipped at +4°C, and the kit is intended for research use only.

P1NP is a marker of bone formation released during collagen synthesis in bone tissue, making this assay relevant to research on bone metabolism, bone turnover and related disorders.
