Rat ACP5 (Tartrate Resistant Acid Phosphatase 5) ELISA Kit

This specialized assay from Assay Genie is built around a sandwich ELISA, double-antibody format with colorimetric detection at 450 nm, and is designed to quantitatively measure levels of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5 (ACP5) in rat samples. ACP5 is an enzyme involved in bone metabolism and resorption and serves as a marker for osteoclast activity and bone turnover, supporting research into osteoporosis, osteopetrosis, and other bone-related disorders.

Validated for rat samples, the kit accepts serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid samples. The reported sensitivity is 0.188 mIU/mL and the assay range is 0.313–20 mIU/mL. Linearity has been established in serum, EDTA plasma, and heparin plasma across 1:2, 1:4, and 1:8 dilutions, with recoveries averaging 96% in serum (range 88–105%), 96% in EDTA plasma (range 89–102%), and 97% in heparin plasma (range 88–101%). The kit is intended to be stored at 2–8°C for 12 months.
