Human Pro Somatostatin PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS0108)

Built around a competitive immunoassay workflow, the Human Pro Somatostatin PharmaGenie ELISA Kit from Assay Genie enables quantification of the somatostatin precursor in human specimens. Because somatostatin is a small cyclic peptide hormone secreted by neuroendocrine cells, measuring its circulating pro-form underpins research into pituitary regulation, gastrointestinal signaling, and the secretory behavior of neuroendocrine tumors.

This 96-assay kit is validated for use with cell culture supernatant, plasma, and serum specimens, supporting both in vitro cell-based experiments and translational work with clinical samples. Detection uses an absorbance-based readout on a standard microplate reader, keeping the workflow compatible with most laboratory settings already equipped for plate-based immunoassays.

Typical applications include profiling hormone release from cultured cells, screening subject samples in metabolic and endocrine research, and supporting discovery work on somatostatin receptor pharmacology. Kit reagents are kept refrigerated; components should be equilibrated to room temperature before use, and any light-sensitive reagents should be protected from light. The included manual provides guidance on standard curve preparation, recommended sample volume, and the specific detection range established for the pro-somatostatin analyte in this configuration.

Each kit contains the materials required to process a full microplate, including pre-coated wells, reference standards, detection reagents, and assay buffers. Researchers are advised to follow the lot-specific certificate of analysis for accurate performance specifications.
