Takara Human Gla-Osteocalcin High Sensitive EIA Kit \96 Rxns

Takara This kit is designed to precisely differentiate bovine and human osteocalcins, using a capture antibody-coated plate with a human osteocalcin-specific monoclonal antibody that recognizes the distinct difference in the amino acids at positions 3 and 4 from the N-terminus. This makes possible differential assays of human and bovine osteocalcins. Use of human antigen-specific antibody as a capture monoclonal antibody provides improved linearity when assaying human blood samples. This specificity also enables direct assay of human osteocalcin in the culture supernatant of osteoblasts or differentiated osteoblasts from bone marrow or mesenchymal stem cells cultured in a bovine serum-containing medium, which has been difficult to achieve using the conventional Gla-OC EIA Kit (Cat. #MK111). - TAKBGN (Additional S&H or Hazmat Fees May Apply)
