Porcine Cystatin C ELISA Kit

Designed for the accurate measurement of cystatin C levels in porcine samples, this Sandwich ELISA kit from Assay Genie uses a double-antibody format and is intended for research applications. Cystatin C is recognised as an important biomarker for renal function, and changes in its levels can indicate kidney disease or dysfunction, making the assay useful for monitoring renal health in pigs and supporting research into kidney disorders in this species.

The kit accepts a range of sample types, including serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid samples, and is stored at 2-8°C for 12 months. Reported performance figures include a sensitivity of 37.5 pg/mL and an assay range of 62.5-4000 pg/mL. Recovery has been characterised for serum (85-95% range, 90% average), EDTA plasma (90-102% range, 97% average) and heparin plasma (85-103% range, 95% average).

Detection is colorimetric, with absorbance read at 450 nm after TMB substrate development. The assay targets cystatin C, with listed synonyms including CST3, Cys-C, Cystatin 3, ARMD11 and Post-Gamma-Globulin (UniProt Q0Z8R0), and is aimed at researchers studying kidney disease, monitoring renal function in research animals, or developing potential therapies for renal disorders.
