The Rat Growth Hormone (GH) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the precise measurement of rat growth hormone levels in serum, plasma, and tissue culture supernatants. This kit offers exceptional sensitivity and specificity, delivering consistent and accurate results for a variety of research purposes. Growth hormone is a vital hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating growth, metabolism, and tissue repair in rats. It is involved in various physiological processes, including bone growth, muscle development, and fat metabolism.
Understanding the levels of growth hormone in rat samples can provide valuable insights into growth disorders, metabolic conditions, and age-related changes. By utilizing the Rat Growth Hormone ELISA Kit, researchers can explore the impact of growth hormone on rat physiology, investigate growth-related disorders, and develop potential therapies targeting growth hormone regulation. This kit is the perfect tool for studying growth hormone dynamics and its effects on overall health and development in rats.

Note:The below protocol is a sample protocol. Protocols are specific to each batch/lot. For the correct instructions please follow the protocol included in your kit.
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
Homogenize tissue in PBS with protease inhibitors, centrifuge and collect supernatant.
Cell Culture Supernatant
Centrifuge at 2500 rpm for 5 minutes and collect clarified supernatant.
Cell Lysate
Lyse cells using lysis buffer with protease inhibitors, centrifuge and collect protein supernatant.
