Company:

RayBiotech

Product Name:

Human VIP EIA

Catalog Number:

EIA-VIP-1

The product can be used to detect VIP in cell supernatants from cell lines as well as from serum. I have used it to detect VIP in both human and mouse cell lines. The assay is easy to follow.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Measuring concentration of VIP in different cell lines

Starting Material

Cell supernatant

Tips

I really like that the kit provides us with a positive control, which is super helpful to know if our assay worked and hence troubleshoot during the experimental procedures. The positive control provided is sufficient only for duplicates for the assay. The supernatant collected must be centrifuged to obtain cell-free product for the assay.

Results Summary

The assay is able to detect VIP in both human and mouse cell lines.

Summary

The Good

Positive control

The Bad

Less intuitive compared to other immunoassays since it's a competitive assay.

The Bottom Line

Recommended for detection of VIP. Not yet validated in VIP-KO cells.
