Porcine Insulin Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF1) ELISA Kit

Quantitative measurement of circulating Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) underpins much of swine growth, nutrition, and metabolism research. As a peptide hormone produced primarily by the liver in response to growth hormone signaling, IGF-1 drives skeletal and soft-tissue development and serves as a circulating readout of nutritional status, metabolic health, and growth rate in pigs.

The Porcine Insulin Like Growth Factor 1 ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is a quantitative in vitro immunoassay developed to measure endogenous IGF-1 in porcine samples. The kit employs matched antibody pairs and a microplate pre-coated with capture antibody, producing a chromogenic signal that is read against a standard curve. Supplied as a kit providing 96 assays, it fits standard plate-reader workflows and supports both small pilot studies and larger multi-cohort experimental designs.

Researchers commonly use the kit to track IGF-1 across growth phases, evaluate the impact of nutritional or pharmaceutical interventions, and compare hormone levels between breeds or treatment groups. Applications extend to reproductive endocrinology, developmental biology, feed-efficiency studies, and biomedical models in which swine serve as a translational species. The kit is intended for research use only.
