Rat AFGF/FGF1 (Acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor 1) ELISA Kit (RTES01035)

This quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie measures endogenous rat acidic fibroblast growth factor 1 (aFGF/FGF1), a heparin-binding mitogen central to angiogenesis, wound repair, and neurogenesis research. The kit pairs a pre-coated microplate with a biotinylated detection antibody and streptavidin-HRP for chromogenic readout, with results interpolated from a recombinant FGF1 standard curve generated in each run.

FGF1 quantification in rat models supports studies of cardiac remodeling, ischemic injury, and metabolic regulation, where circulating and tissue growth factor levels reflect pathological or restorative signaling. The kit is supplied in a microplate format with lyophilized standards, detection reagents, and diluents packed in sealed vials; sample volume is 100 uL per well. Reported sensitivity is less than 7.8 pg/mL, with a working detection range of 31.2 to 2000 pg/mL. Unopened reagents should be stored refrigerated at 4 degrees C; this product is intended for in vitro research use only.
