Rat Osteoprotegerin (OPG) ELISA Kit

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) functions as a soluble decoy receptor for RANKL and a key regulator of bone resorption, and altered circulating levels have been linked to osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, vascular calcification, periodontal disease, and certain malignancies. The Assay Genie rat OPG kit supports research workflows that quantify this biomarker in specimens collected from rat models used in skeletal, metabolic, and inflammatory studies.

The assay relies on a matched antibody pair immobilized on a microplate to capture and detect OPG, with results read through an enzymatic reaction producing a measurable color change. Specimens accepted for measurement include serum-type samples, plasma-type samples, and tissue-derived homogenates from rat. Each pack contains reagents for 96 determinations, and the plate layout follows a standard microplate shape compatible with common plate readers. Components ship cold-packed and should be stored refrigerated upon arrival; reconstituted material is best aliquoted and kept frozen to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
