Glucagon - A Gold Standard
A research tool advancement that allows science to take the next step!
The Mercodia Glucagon ELISA has contributed to advancing research worldwide, and due to the high specificity, outstanding sensitivity, and easy-to-use protocol, it is now considered to be a gold standard for glucagon measurements.
The highly specific monoclonal antibodies used in the assay enable accurate determination of glucagon without significant cross-reactivity to other circulating pro-glucagon-derived peptides, e.g. glicentin. |

Insulin - An Evolving Hormone
Our first product, and still our best-seller, is the Insulin ELISA. Over 10 million samples have been analyzed using this method across the globe!
The Insulin ELISA is a high-quality assay for specific measurement of human insulin in serum, plasma, or cell culture media. It has little or no cross-reactivity to insulin analogs, or to rat or mouse insulin and comes with full cross-reactivity data. |
|
Mercodia knows the importance of having assays optimized for various species. In addition to our human insulin assays, we offer insulin assays specifically calibrated for rodent and larger animal samples. | | | |

C-peptide ELISA
Unlike insulin, C-peptide differs greatly between species. For example, the amino acid sequence of rat C-peptide is approximately 30% different than that of primates.
The structural differences across species and increased in vivo stability make C-peptide measurements more suitable (than insulin) when performing studies of xenotransplantation or subjects treated with exogenous insulin. |

|
Proinsulin ELISA
Pre-proinsulin is biosynthesized in the beta-cell, cleaved into proinsulin in the ER, and then transported to the Golgi apparatus.
Proinsulin processing occurs in maturing secretory granules and insulin and C-peptide are secreted simultaneously in equimolar amounts, in response to various stimuli, including glucose. |
