Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is produced by the pituitary gland to fuel childhood growth and help maintain tissues and organs throughout life. Human growth hormone initiates a wide variety of growth promoting pathways. The broad spectrum of tissues impacted by HGH lead to its use in the treatment of diverse conditions including growth disorders, obesity, bone disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, memory/cognitive disorders and diseases of aging. The anabolic effects of HGH have resulted in its use and abuse by athletes. In addition to its potential for physical performance enhancement, there is considerable the interest in use of HGH in anti-aging and cosmetic applications.
This quantitative ELISA kit offers ultra-sensitive detection enabling quantification of HGH as little as 0.93 pg/mL. The Human Growth Hormone ELISA kit offers complete flexibility, validated with various sample types including human and canine serum, human plasma, human saliva and tissue culture media. The assay provides quantitative results with excellent reproducibility between experiments, and offers analysis of up to 36 duplicate samples in less than 2.5 hours. The ELISA kit displays high specificity to HGH with low cross reactivity to similar molecules such as prolactin and human placental lactogen.
Like all Enzo Life Sciences ELISA kits, the Human Growth ELISA kit is complete, flexible, and put through rigorous validation and stability testing to ensure high precision, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. It is supplied with an easy-to-follow protocol, pre-coated microtiter plate and liquid color-coded reagents to save time and reduce errors. The 96-well break-apart strip plate design provides throughput flexibility to minimize waste.
