Rat Metalloproteinase inhibitor 1 (Timp1) ELISA Kit

This Sandwich ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is designed for the accurate quantification of Metalloproteinase Inhibitor 1 (TIMP1) levels in rat serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernatants and other biological fluids. It offers high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of natural and recombinant rat TIMP1, supporting reproducible results across research into metalloproteinase biology, extracellular matrix degradation and tissue remodeling. The kit is intended for research use only and is associated with UniProt entry P30120.

The assay delivers a detection range of 0.156–10 ng/ml with a reported sensitivity of 0.085 ng/mL. Reported precision figures include an Intra-CV of 4.5% and an Inter-CV of 8.7%. Dilutional linearity has been demonstrated across serum, EDTA plasma and heparin plasma samples, with serum recovery averaging 87% (range 81–93%) and plasma recovery averaging 89% (range 83–95%). The kit is listed for use in cardiovascular research and broader studies of matrix biology and TIMP1-related disease mechanisms.
