Rat DHEA-S/Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate ELISA Kit

Quantitative analysis of Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA-S) in rat specimens is supported by this competitive immunoassay from Assay Genie. DHEA-S is the most abundant circulating adrenal androgen precursor in rodents and serves as a stable biomarker of adrenocortical activity, making it relevant for research into stress axis regulation, reproductive endocrinology, metabolic dysfunction, and age-related hormone decline in rat models.

The 96 Assays kit uses a competitive immunoassay format, the standard approach for measuring small steroid molecules. Signal intensity is read on a standard microplate reader. Reagents are supplied in vials, and the package includes a pre-coated plate, calibrators, antibodies, and detection reagents.

For reliable results, rat blood specimens should be processed rapidly, stored at -20°C, and protected from repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve analyte integrity. Standard rodent collection protocols apply.

This research-use-only kit from Assay Genie supports longitudinal studies in which DHEA-S is tracked alongside corticosterone, ACTH, or downstream androgens to characterize hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity in experimental rats.
