Mouse Collagen Type VI Alpha 1 (COL6a1) ELISA Kit

Connective tissue and skeletal muscle researchers working with mouse models of muscular dystrophy frequently characterize the alpha-1 chain of type VI collagen using this Assay Genie ELISA kit. Studies of Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy, Bethlem myopathy, and related collagen VI disorders rely on this reagent to quantify COL6a1 protein levels and track disease progression or therapeutic intervention efficacy in murine samples. The microplate configuration accommodates parallel processing of serum samples and tissue homogenates through a standard curve-based quantification workflow. Reconstituted standards should be aliquoted into single-use portions and frozen promptly to preserve binding activity through repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Unopened reagents are stored protected from light at controlled refrigeration. Each kit ships with a precoated plate, biotinylated detection reagent, HRP conjugate, calibrated reference standard, and assay diluent sufficient for a complete plate run. The assay is validated specifically for mouse COL6a1 quantification and is compatible with downstream methods including western blot validation and immunohistochemistry of matched sample cohorts.
