Rat alpha2-M (Alpha-2 Macroglobulin) ELISA Kit (RTES00937)

Quantitative measurement of alpha-2 Macroglobulin in rat samples is enabled through this immunoassay ELISA kit from Assay Genie. Alpha-2 Macroglobulin (A2M) is a large circulating glycoprotein that functions as a broad-spectrum serine protease inhibitor and serves as a major acute-phase reactant in rats, with circulating concentrations rising substantially during inflammation, infection, and tissue injury. Researchers studying hepatic function, inflammatory cascades, nephrotic syndrome models, and acute-phase responses can use the kit to quantify A2M in rat-derived serum samples, heparinized plasma samples, and related liquid specimen types. The kit is supplied as a complete microplate-based assay containing all reagents required to generate a standard curve and run the recommended number of determinations, and results are read on a standard plate reader. Reagents should be stored refrigerated upon arrival and equilibrated to room temperature before use, with repeated freeze-thaw cycles avoided to preserve antibody binding activity. Each kit is intended for research use only and supports quantitative studies of A2M dynamics in rodent models of disease, toxicology programs, and biomarker discovery workflows.
