Human TIMP-1 PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS1156)

A colorimetric ELISA from Assay Genie enables quantitative measurement of human Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) in research samples. TIMP-1 is a secreted glycoprotein that regulates matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity and is implicated in extracellular matrix remodeling, tumor invasion and metastasis, fibrotic disease progression, and inflammatory signaling pathways. The kit accepts multiple sample matrices, including serum specimens, plasma samples, cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, and tissue lysates, which makes it applicable to both cell-based experiments and translational specimen analysis.

Typical laboratory applications include monitoring TIMP-1 secretion in cancer cell line models, assessing MMP/TIMP balance in fibrotic tissue studies, profiling circulating TIMP-1 in patient cohort serum samples, and quantifying treatment responses in pharmacological assays. Each kit contains reagents for 96 individual determinations, accommodating medium-throughput screening on standard microplate instrumentation. The workflow follows conventional ELISA incubation, wash, and signal development steps, with readout captured on a standard plate reader. Supplied as a complete reagent set with capture antibody, detection antibody, standards, and buffers, it provides the components required to run the assay from sample to result. The product is intended for research use only in academic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology laboratories.
