The QuickStep Rat Cort Corticosterone ELISA Kit is a reliable and sensitive assay designed for the quantitative detection of corticosterone levels in rat serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates. This kit offers high specificity and accuracy, ensuring precise and consistent results for your research needs.Corticosterone is a key steroid hormone involved in stress response, metabolism, and immune function. Dysregulation of corticosterone levels has been linked to various physiological and behavioral disorders, making it a valuable marker for studying stress-related conditions and drug development.
With its easy-to-follow protocol and quick assay time, the QuickStep Rat Cort Corticosterone ELISA Kit is an essential tool for researchers aiming to investigate the role of corticosterone in biological processes and disease pathways. Get reliable data and accelerate your research with this cutting-edge ELISA kit.

This ELISA kit uses the Competitive-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with Bovine Cortisol. Samples (or Standards) and Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) linked antibody specific for Bovine Cortisol are added to the micro ELISA plate wells. Bovine Cortisol in samples (or standards) competes with a fixed amount of Bovine Cortisol on the solid phase supporter for sites on the HRP linked detection antibody specific to Bovine Cortisol. Excess conjugate and unbound sample or standard are washed from the plate. The substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 ± 2 nm. The concentration of Bovine Cortisol in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
