ACTH ELISA kit

• Sensitive measurement of ACTH, detecting as little as 0.46 pg/ml.
• Negligible reactivity to similar hormones.
• High throughput with results in 4.5 hours.
• Fully quantitative results that surpass semi-quantitative Western blot analysis

The ACTH ELISA kit is a colorimetric immunoassay kit with results in 4.5 hours.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), also known as corticotropin, is a polypeptide tropic hormone produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. It is an important component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and is often produced in response to biological stress (along with its precursor corticotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus). Its principal effects are increased production and release of corticosteroids
