Insulin Assay Kits

Insulin assay kits contain reagent sets to determine the abundance or concentration of insulin in biological samples. Insulin is a pancreatic peptide hormone that regulates glucose uptake and metabolism. Insulin assay kits generally detect insulin using antibody-based methods with fluorophore-labeled or enzyme-conjugated antibodies. Specific antibodies are pre-coated onto a multiwell plate, enabling a simple "add-incubate-measure" format for quantitative measurement. Insulin assays can be used to study insulin sensitivity, resistance, glucose homeostasis, ß-cell function, pancreatic endocrine activity, the effects of insulin-targeting compounds, and to quantify insulin and detect its variants in population proteomics. When choosing an assay kit, consider important specifications such as the assay detection range, recommended sample types, and the components included within the kit.
