PGE2 ELISA 5 Plate

The PGE2 ELISA kit is a colorimetric competitive enzyme immunoassay kit with results in < 3 hours. Absorbance is read at 405 nm. Screen inhibitors of COX II activity by measuring the levels of downstream PGE2. Commercially available since 1992, this kit is widely cited in peer-reviewed publications. The non-radioactive ready-to-use liquid color-coded reagents reduce errors. The PGE2 ELISA is for Research Use Only.

For the quantitative determination of PGE2 in culture supernatants, serum, saliva, urine, and whole blood from any species. Cited sample types include cell lysate1, cerebral spinal fluid2, dialysate3, gingival crevicular fluid4, peritoneal exudate fluid and peritoneal exudate cell supernatant5, plasma6, and tissue7.
