Rat Serum Amyloid P Component (SAP) ELISA Kit

Researchers investigating inflammation, complement biology, or amyloidosis in laboratory rats require reliable quantification of Serum Amyloid P Component, and this Assay Genie immunoassay addresses that need. SAP is a pentraxin-family glycoprotein that circulates as a stable pentamer in plasma and plays a documented role in the acute-phase response, complement activation, and the pathogenesis of AA amyloidosis, making its quantification relevant to studies of chronic inflammation, infection models, and tissue-deposit amyloidosis in rat systems.

Supplied as a complete reagent set intended for research use only, the kit includes a pre-coated microplate along with assay buffers, detection reagents, standard calibrator, and substrate solution. It is suitable for use with multiple sample matrices collected from rats, including serum fractions, heparinized plasma, and clarified tissue homogenates. Reagents should be refrigerated upon arrival; any reconstituted standards or detection antibody should be aliquoted and frozen to preserve activity through subsequent freeze-thaw cycles.

Common applications include monitoring circulating SAP levels during inflammatory challenges, characterizing disease progression in rat amyloidosis models, and evaluating pharmacologic interventions that target pentraxin-mediated pathways. Each kit provides reagents sufficient for 96 individual determinations, supporting both small pilot studies and larger cohort analyses in research laboratories.
