Oxytocin ELISA
The Oxytocin ELISA is for the quantitative determination of Oxytocin in culture supernatants, milk, plasma, and serum from any species. The kit is a colorimetric competitive enzyme immunoassay.
- Absorbance read at 405 nm
- Very low reactivity with vasopressin provides confidence in assay results
- Sensitive quantification of < 12 pg/mL oxytocin
- Ready-to-use liquid color-coded reagents reduce errors
Cited sample types include cerebral spinal fluid1, saliva2,3, tissue1 and urine4.
