Mercodia Total Insulin Northern Lights MBeads Assay

Mercodia’s Total Insulin Northern Lights MBeads Assay is intended to be used for the measurement of insulin in conditioned media from perifusion experiments or other in vitro cultures from cells derived from human and mouse specimens. The assay allows the analysis of multiple samples simultaneously, decreasing the amount of sample required. This enables the analysis of other analytes in volume-limited samples.

The surface-activated magnetic agarose beads are coupled to a monoclonal mouse antibody against insulin. This antibody grants the detection of several mammalian insulins. The assay is designed to enable increased coverage and binding, making it suitable for high-throughput studies to detect insulin in conditioned media derived from cells (ie, islets isolated from the human pancreas).
