Rat Cocaine And Amphetamine Regulated Transcript (CART) ELISA Kit

Hypothalamic neuropeptide CART (Cocaine- and Amphetamine-Regulated Transcript) modulates feeding behaviour, reward processing, and energy balance in rodent models, and is widely profiled in metabolic and addiction research.

The corresponding rat ELISA kit from Assay Genie delivers a quantitative colorimetric read-out of native CART peptide across multiple rat sample matrices, including serum samples, plasma samples, and prepared tissue homogenates from regions such as the arcuate nucleus, pituitary, and adrenal medulla.

Absorbance is measured on a standard microplate reader, and the plate is pre-configured for ninety-six determinations, supporting both small pilot studies and larger cohort comparisons.

Each kit ships with a pre-coated microplate, peptide standards, labelled detection antibody, wash buffer, substrate solution, and a protocol insert; reagents are supplied for research use only.

Unopened kits should be stored refrigerated, and components should be handled according to the insert to preserve antibody binding activity across the shelf life of the product.
