Rat beta MSH/beta-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone ELISA Kit
The Rat Beta-MSH (Beta-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone) ELISA Kit is a reliable tool for the accurate measurement of Beta-MSH levels in rat serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, providing researchers with precise and reproducible results for a variety of experimental applications. Beta-MSH is a key peptide hormone that plays a critical role in regulating pigmentation, energy balance, and immune function in animals. Dysregulation of Beta-MSH levels has been linked to various metabolic disorders, inflammatory diseases, and skin conditions, making it a valuable biomarker for studying these conditions and developing potential therapeutic interventions.
With its user-friendly protocol and robust performance, the Rat Beta-MSH ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is an essential tool for researchers studying the physiological and pathological roles of Beta-MSH in rodent models. Unlock the potential of your research with this innovative ELISA kit designed to meet your needs.

Step
Procedure
1
Reagent & Plate Preparation: Equilibrate reagents and TMB substrate to room temperature. Set standard, test sample and control (zero) wells on the pre-coated plate and record their positions.
2
Primary Incubation: Prepare standards, samples, blanks and load into designated wells. Incubate plate at 37°C for 90 minutes to allow antigen binding.
3
Detection Antibody Binding: Add biotin-labeled detection antibody and incubate at 37°C for 60 minutes.
4
HRP-Streptavidin Binding: Add HRP-Streptavidin (SABC) and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes.
5
Color Development: Add TMB substrate and incubate in the dark for 10–20 minutes.
6
Stop Reaction & Reading: Add stop solution and measure absorbance at 450 nm immediately.
Sample Type
Protocol
Serum
Allow blood to clot, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 20 minutes, collect supernatant supernatant and store appropriately.
Plasma
Collect using anticoagulant tubes, centrifuge at 1000 × g for 15 minutes at 2–8°C and collect plasma.
Tissue Homogenate
