Analysis of EPO levels in blood is important for research into the role of EPO in various diseases including anemias, polycythemias, renal disorders, malignancies, infectious diseases, and inflammatory disorders.
The EPO ELISA Kit is a rapid 3-step enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) designed for the quantitative measurement of natural and recombinant human EPO in biological fluids, such as serum, plasma, and tissue culture supernatants. The EPO ELISA Kit may also be used to detect recombinant human EPO or Darbepoetin (an EPO analog) in serum, plasma, and urine of racehorses.It is an effective assay for detection of EPO because it has a strong signal-to-background ratio, as well as a detection limit well below normal EPO levels (<5 mU/mL).
