Spotlight: ALPCO Glucagon ELISA
The ALPCO Glucagon ELISA is for the quantitative determination of glucagon in human EDTA plasma. This assay was
developed for ease-of-use and demonstrates superior sensitivity while eliminating cross-reactivity issues present in other
commercially-available assays. The Glucagon ELISA is for In Vitro Diagnostic use in the United States and for Research Use
Only outside of the United States.
Glucagon ELISA Product Data
Features and Benefits
SHORT INCUBATION
Eliminates overnight or lengthy incubation, allowing labs to save time and maximize resources.
• Incubation Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
SIMPLE WORKFLOW
The assay features a streamlined protocol with no shaking, room-temperature incubation, and straightforward sample collection in EDTA tubes without the addition of inhibitors.
SUPERIOR SENSITIVITY
Superior sensitivity as compared with commercially-available assays allows detection of glucagon levels as low as 2.27 pg/mL.
MINIMIZED CROSS-REACTIVITY
Non-detectable cross-reactivity for 21 cross-reactants (including Oxyntomodulin and Glicentin).
Comparison Data
The ALPCO Glucagon ELISA kit (y) was compared against one competitor ELISA kit (x1) and one immunoassay method (fluorescent + beads) (x2) and yielded the following linear regression results:
y = 0.97x1 + 5.17, r = 0.995, Slope =0.97, n=109
y = 0.94x2 - 9.00, r = 0.97, Slope =0.94, n=54
