Rat BDNF ELISA Kit

Developed by Assay Genie for research use, this Sandwich ELISA kit uses a double-antibody format with colorimetric detection to quantify Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in rat-derived samples. Validated specimen types include serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid samples. The assay has a stated sensitivity of 18.75 pg/mL and a range of 31.25-2000 pg/mL, with all kit components intended for storage at 2-8°C for 12 months.

BDNF is a neurotrophic protein that supports the growth, survival, and differentiation of neurons and is implicated in cognitive function, mood regulation, and neuronal plasticity. The kit is aimed at research into neurological conditions such as depression, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia using rat models, and the workflow concludes with absorbance measurement at 450 nm following TMB substrate development.
