BioSupply offers a highly sensitive and specific ferritin ELISA kit. This assay provides a dynamic range of 5-1,000ng/ml and it can reach minimum sensitivity detection limits of 0.53ng/ml. Ferritin consists of light and heavy subunits surrounded in a crystalline core containing iron and phosphate oxide within an apoferritin shell. The highest concentrations of ferritin can be found in the liver, spleen and bone marrow. Routine analysis of ferritin levels are recommended in order to detect early signs of iron deficiencies especially in healthy people. Since there is a direct correlation between the levels of ferritin measured and the total amount of iron which is stored in the body. This is due to the fact that within the body, iron is predominately stored complexed to either ferritin or hemosiderin.

BioSupply offers a highly sensitive and specific MMP-8 ELISA kit. This assay provides a dynamic range of 0.05-10ng/mL and it can reach minimum sensitivity detection limits of 0.021ng/mL. Matrix metalloproteinase-8 is a specific collagen cleaving enzyme that is found to be highly expressed in leukocytes cells and chorionic cytotrophoblast. MMP-8 levels have also been found to be elevated in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients. There is evidence to indicate that many active forms of this enzyme can be created which contain distinct N-termini due to proteolysis occurring at different sites on this protein.

BioSupply offers a highly sensitive and specific leptin ELISA kit. This assay provides a dynamic range of 62.5-4,000pg/ml and it can reach minimum sensitivity detection limits of <10pg/ml. Leptin is a protein which is 16kDa in size and consists of a single 146 amino acid sequence, this is predominately the product of the obese gene. Whilst leptin is circulating around the body, it is abundantly expressed in the adipose tissues where it is critical in regulating appetite, fat metabolism and body weight. In humans, it has been found that the amount of leptin present is directly correlated with the percentage of body fat and BMI. Both of these factors are well known to be elevated in people who are obese. For more information on this product, please visit our website: http://www.elisakits.co.uk/leptin-elisa-kit/
BioSupply offers a highly sensitive and specific insulin ELISA kit. This assay provides a dynamic range of 0.25-200µIU/ml and it can reach minimum sensitivity detection limits of 0.25µIU/ml. Insulin has a total molecular weight of 5800Da and it is made up of two peptides chains that are approximately 51 amino acids long. It is vital in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism, other processes where insulin is also important include: gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, decreased proteinolysis, fatty acid synthesis, increased protein synthesis and DNA replication, controlling glucose intake in muscles and adipose tissues.
