Rat SCT (Secretin) ELISA Kit (RTES00728)

Secretin is a 27-amino acid peptide hormone produced by enteroendocrine S cells of the duodenal mucosa, where it is released in response to acidic chyme entering the small intestine. The hormone stimulates pancreatic bicarbonate secretion while inhibiting gastric acid output, making it a key marker in gastrointestinal physiology and pancreatic exocrine research.

The Rat SCT (Secretin) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie provides a competitive immunoassay format for the quantitative measurement of secretin in rat-derived research samples. The kit is supplied as a complete package sufficient for 96 determinations, using a colorimetric readout compatible with standard microplate readers commonly found in biomedical research laboratories.

Applications include studies of enteroendocrine signaling, peptide hormone regulation, pancreatic function, and gastrointestinal peptide biology. The kit is intended for research use only and supports workflows in academic, pharmacological, and translational research settings investigating digestive and metabolic pathways.

For handling, kit components should be refrigerated and equilibrated to room temperature before use, with specific storage temperature and stability details provided in the product insert. Light-sensitive reagents should be protected, and standard immunoassay handling practices should be observed throughout the workflow.
