Rat Osteocrin (OSTN) ELISA Kit

Osteocrin (OSTN) is a small secreted peptide expressed primarily by osteoblasts and hypertrophic chondrocytes, where it binds the natriuretic peptide clearance receptor (NPR-C) and modulates local natriuretic signaling. Assay Genie's immunoassay for rat OSTN gives researchers a quantitative tool for studying this peptide in bone biology, growth-plate physiology, and vascular research using rat models.

The kit is supplied as a complete set of reagents in a sealed pouch and is intended for in vitro research workflows. Each package contains a pre-coated microplate, assay diluent, detection antibody, standard, wash buffer, and substrate solution in individual vials, allowing laboratories to run the full protocol without purchasing additional components. The kit follows a standard quantitative immunoassay workflow and is formatted for use with conventional microplate readers, making it straightforward to integrate into existing laboratory pipelines.

For optimal reagent stability, unopened components should be stored according to the package insert and protected from light; reconstituted standards and samples should be handled as aliquots to limit freeze-thaw cycles. The kit is intended for research use only and is not validated for diagnostic or clinical applications.
