Rat Placenta growth factor (Pgf) ELISA Kit

Designed for quantitative measurement of Placenta growth factor (Pgf), this Sandwich ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is intended for use with rat samples. The assay uses a colorimetric detection method and accepts serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. It recognises both natural and recombinant rat Placenta growth factor.

According to the manufacturer datasheet, the kit delivers a detection range of 31.2-2000 pg/mL with a sensitivity of 15.77 pg/mL. Intra-assay CV is reported at 5.2% and inter-assay CV at 9.3%. Recovery is stated as 97-109% for serum and 99-111% for plasma, with linearity values provided for serum, EDTA plasma and heparin plasma across 1:2 to 1:16 dilutions.

Placenta growth factor is described in the source literature as a growth factor active in angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration and binding to the receptor FLT1/VEGFR-1. The product is labelled for research use only, and reagents require storage at -20°C or 4°C as detailed in the kit components list.
