Rat Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT) ELISA Kit

Cardiovascular and metabolic disease researchers rely on this Assay Genie microplate kit to quantify Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT) in rat biological samples. LCAT is the plasma enzyme responsible for esterifying free cholesterol on HDL particles, a critical step in reverse cholesterol transport. Investigative teams studying lipid metabolism, atherosclerosis, and HDL biology use quantitative LCAT measurement to evaluate enzyme levels across experimental cohorts, transgenic models, and pharmacological interventions.

Each kit provides reagents for 96 assays with a colorimetric read-out compatible with standard laboratory plate readers. The protocol accommodates blood-derived fractions and homogenized tissue samples from rat models, making it suitable for in vitro research in pharmacology, endocrinology, and cardiovascular labs. Multi-step incubation and wash procedures are performed at room temperature, and reagents are supplied in labeled vials with detailed handling instructions on the package insert.

The assay is intended for research use only and is not validated for diagnostic or clinical applications. Storage of unopened components follows the manufacturer's recommendations; consult vial labels for component-specific guidance on refrigerated storage of working solutions and standards.
