Folic acid ELISA kits are designed for the specific detection of folic acid in biological samples. Folic acid is a compound that is metabolized in humans and can be detected in CSF, urine, fecal, and serum samples. It has the chemical formula C19H19N7O6. Folic acid, or folate, is a vitamin essential for DNA and RNA synthesis, amino acid metabolism, and cell division, playing a crucial role in the hematopoietic system. Biochemically inactive folic acid is converted to active forms, such as tetrahydrofolic acid, by dihydrofolate reductase.
