Rat EP (Erythrocyte Protoporphyrin) ELISA Kit (RTES01121)

Erythrocyte Protoporphyrin (EP) is a clinically meaningful biomarker because it accumulates in red blood cells when heme biosynthesis is impaired, commonly triggered by iron deficiency, lead toxicity, or certain porphyrias. Assay Genie provides this rat-specific Sandwich ELISA as a quantitative tool for studies in occupational toxicology, nutritional iron metabolism, and hepatic porphyria research.

The microplate-based workflow supports a small sample volume per well, typically 50–100 uL, leaving material for duplicate wells, standard curves, and internal controls. The assay is calibrated against rat EP with minimal cross-reactivity to analogous porphyrin species, so researchers can pair EP readouts with serum ferritin, blood lead levels, and hematocrit to build a fuller picture of erythropoietic status in rodent studies.
