Human Procalcitonin PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS1015)

Procalcitonin (PCT) is a 116 amino acid propeptide of calcitonin, widely recognized as a circulating biomarker for bacterial sepsis and systemic inflammation. This PharmaGenie assay from Assay Genie enables quantitative in vitro measurement of human PCT, employing a human-specific capture and detection antibody pair to minimize cross-reactivity with homologous peptides from other species. Researchers apply the kit to study sepsis pathogenesis, antibiotic stewardship, lower respiratory tract infections, and post-surgical inflammatory responses, where PCT kinetics provide diagnostic and prognostic value. The assay uses a microplate format that supports batch processing of clinical or experimental samples, with standards and detection antibody supplied in individual vials. Unopened kit components are stored at 4 degrees C, while concentrated reagents require frozen storage at -20 degrees C between uses to maintain the stated shelf life.
