Rat Estrogen ELISA Kit (RTFI01467)

Quantitative measurement of estrogen in rat biological specimens is supported by this competitive binding immunoassay kit from Assay Genie. Each pack provides reagents sufficient for 96 individual assays, supporting in vitro research workflows in endocrinology, reproductive biology, and toxicology studies involving rat models.

The kit enables researchers to profile steroid hormone levels in experimental samples using a colorimetric readout. The procedure follows a competitive inhibition design where unlabeled antigen in the sample competes with a labeled reference antigen for antibody binding sites. Signal intensity decreases as estrogen concentration in the specimen increases, allowing quantitative interpolation against a standard curve generated with the included reference standards.

This format supports batch processing of experimental rat cohorts and is compatible with standard microplate readers commonly found in laboratory settings. The competitive format is particularly suited to small molecule steroid hormones like estrogen, which lack the two epitopes required for traditional two-antibody sandwich configurations. Researchers investigating ovarian function, estrous cycle characterization, or hormone disruption will find this kit appropriate for generating quantitative data from collected specimens.
