Metanephrine ELISA kits are designed for the specific detection of metanephrine in biological samples. Metanephrine is a compound that is metabolized in humans and can be detected in CSF, urine, and serum samples. It has the chemical formula C10H15NO3. Metanephrine is a commonly occurring, pharmacologically and physiologically inactive metabolite of epinephrine. Plasma free metanephrines have been used as a diagnostic marker for pheochromocytoma, a rare kind of adrenal medullary neoplasm.
1 Metanephrine ELISA kits utilize microtiter plates coated with specific antibodies and conjugated detection enzymes. The assay will produce a detectable signal proportional to the amount of Metanephrine antigens found in the sample.
