Rat BNP PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS0117)

The Rat BNP competitive ELISA from Assay Genie is a quantitative immunoassay that quantifies B-type natriuretic peptide in rat samples, including serum and cell culture supernatants. BNP is a 32-amino acid cardiac hormone secreted primarily by ventricular myocytes in response to wall stretch and increased pressure, and circulating BNP levels in rat models serve as a translational biomarker for heart failure, hypertensive cardiomyopathy, and ischemic injury. Researchers apply this format in studies of cardiorenal syndrome, drug-induced cardiotoxicity screening, and longitudinal evaluation of cardiac function in rodent models. The kit supports up to 96 assays in a microplate layout, enabling replicate measurements across experimental groups. Colorimetric readout allows quantification on standard plate readers without specialized equipment. The competitive ELISA format is well suited to small peptide analytes like BNP, where target mass is below the typical sandwich range. Samples should be handled according to standard laboratory practice; refrigerated storage of reagents is recommended, and freeze-thaw cycles of samples should be limited to preserve peptide integrity. This kit is intended for research use only, supporting in vitro studies of rat cardiac physiology, pharmacology, and disease modeling.
