New Ultrasensitive Active GLP-1 ELISA to Confidently Measure Fasted Levels of Active GLP-1

Salem, NH, November 09, 2016 --(PR.com)-- ALPCO has released its new STELLUX® Chemiluminescent Ultrasensitive Active GLP-1 ELISA (7-36) amide, the most sensitive active GLP-1 assay on the market. The new ELISA features a sensitivity of 0.06 pM, requires 25 µL of sample, and is specific to detect GLP-1 (7-36) amide which is the major biologically active form of GLP-1. As compared to other kits on the market, the STELLUX® Chemiluminescent Ultrasensitive Active GLP-1 ELISA (7-36) amide can be run in three hours or less due to fewer incubation steps and no extraction steps.

“Studying the role of GLP-1 has become crucial to understand more about insulin resistance,” explains ALPCO’s President, Sean Conley. “We developed the new STELLUX® Chemiluminescent Ultrasensitive Active GLP-1 ELISA to allow researchers to confidently study fasted levels of GLP-1, which has proven to be a challenge when using other assays available on the market.”

The STELLUX® Chemiluminescent Ultrasensitive Active GLP-1 ELISA (7-36) amide is For Research Use Only in the United States. It has also been demonstrated that the assay does not cross-react with any pro-glucagon derived fragments.
