Rat Galectin 1 (GAL1) ELISA Kit

Galectin-1 is a 14.5 kDa beta-galactoside-binding lectin expressed across thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, and other rat tissues, where it regulates cell-cell adhesion, immune cell homeostasis, and inflammatory signaling cascades. The Assay Genie Rat Galectin 1 (GAL1) ELISA Kit provides a quantitative immunoassay workflow for measuring endogenous galectin-1 concentrations in laboratory rat samples.

Compatible with tissue homogenates, isolated serum samples, cell lysates, cell culture supernatants, and matched plasma aliquots, the kit supports in vitro research in immunology, oncology, and metabolic disease modeling. Reagents are supplied in a 96 assays configuration and include pre-coated microplate strips, lyophilized standards, detection antibodies, and buffer concentrates. Each kit is shipped as a single box of consumables intended for laboratory research use only.

For best results, refrigerate kit components at 4°C, protect from light, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of any reconstituted reagents. Bring plates and reagents to room temperature before initiating the assay. Detailed protocol notes and recommended dilution guidelines are included in the product insert to help optimize signal-to-noise ratios across different specimen matrices.
