Rat FMOD (Fibromodulin) ELISA Kit (RTES01030)

The Assay Genie Rat FMOD ELISA enables quantitative detection of fibromodulin, a small leucine-rich proteoglycan central to collagen fibril organization in articular cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and corneal stroma. Researchers apply this microplate-format immunoassay to studies of osteoarthritis progression, tendon repair mechanisms, age-related cartilage degeneration, and extracellular matrix remodeling in rat models.

The kit supports analysis of connective tissue homogenates and serum-derived samples from experimental rat cohorts. Each microplate arrives precoated with capture antibody and includes lyophilized recombinant standards, biotinylated detection reagent, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, substrate solution, and stop reagent. Components remain stable refrigerated for the kit's shelf life when unopened.

Reconstituted standards should be aliquoted to minimize freeze-thaw cycles and preserve assay reproducibility. Investigators studying collagen assembly disorders, post-injury ECM remodeling, or proteoglycan turnover can integrate this ELISA into both cell culture supernatant workflows and in vivo tissue analysis pipelines. For research use only.
