IGF-1 DIY ELISA Kit

This Assay Genie kit allows laboratories to quantify insulin-like growth factor 1 by assembling microplates from bulk reagents, supporting flexible plate preparation up to ten plates per run. Intended for research use only, the DIY ELISA configuration suits core facilities, biotech screening programs, and academic laboratories running longitudinal or high-throughput IGF-1 studies without the per-plate cost of pre-coated strips.

IGF-1, also called somatomedin C, is a 70-amino acid peptide hormone produced primarily by the liver in response to growth hormone stimulation, mediating growth, bone development, tissue repair, and cellular proliferation. Quantification of circulating IGF-1 is widely applied in studies of growth disorders, acromegaly, growth hormone deficiency, metabolic syndrome, and oncology research involving IGF-1 receptor signaling.

The kit delivers components in bulk vials, including capture antibody, detection antibody, standards, and substrate reagents, so users control plate density, incubation timing, and waste generation across each batch of samples.
