Widely used sensitive cortisol ELISA kit with a large variety of sample types and highly reproducible results for stress, autoimmune disease and cancer research.
- Trusted – highly cited in peer reviewed literature
- Reliable – reproducible results day-after-day and lot-after-lot
- Sensitive – detect low levels of cortisol in biological matrices
- Easy-to-use – pre-coated plates and liquid color-coded reagents save time and reduce errors
The Cortisol EIA kit is a colorimetric competitive enzyme immunoassay kit with results in 3 hours. Absorbance is read at 405 nm. This kit is highly cited in peer-reviewed publications. The ready-to-use liquid color-coded reagents provided are safe, non-radioactive, and reduce error in the lab. The broad dynamic range lets you accurately measure Cortisol levels in a variety of sample matrices.
Cortisol (hydrocortisone, compound F) is a steroid hormone synthesized from cholesterol. It is the primary glucocorticoid produced and secreted by the adrenal cortex. Cortisol is found in the blood either as free cortisol, or bound to corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG). Serum levels are highest in the early morning and decrease throughout the day. Cortisol is known to regulate metabolism, promoting gluconeogenesis, liver glycogen deposition, and the reduction of glucose utilization. Cortisol production is positively correlated with stress, resulting in increased blood pressure, and exerts immunosuppressive effects on the immune system.
