Rat Octamer Binding Transcription Factor 4 (OCT4) ELISA Kit

Maintaining pluripotency in embryonic stem cells and primordial germ cells depends on the POU-domain transcription factor Oct4, encoded by the Pou5f1 gene in rat. Dysregulation of this marker is implicated in germ cell tumour development, making its quantitative measurement valuable for reproductive biology, developmental toxicology, and stem cell differentiation studies.

This colorimetric rat OCT4 ELISA kit from Assay Genie is supplied in a 96-assay configuration calibrated for use with rat-derived samples. It enables researchers to measure Oct4 across multiple specimen preparations, including tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants, making it useful for both in vitro stem cell work and in vivo animal model readouts. The kit is intended for research use only and should be stored refrigerated between uses to preserve reagent stability.

Each kit contains a pre-coated plate, detection reagents, a reference standard, and buffer components sufficient for the full assay count, providing a complete workflow for Oct4 quantitation in rat models of pluripotency, germ cell development, and related fields.
