Human C-Peptide ELISA Kit

Human C-Peptide ELISA Kit (ab260064) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of C-Peptide protein in hep plasma, serum, urine, and cell culture media. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human C-Peptide with 1.45 pg/ml sensitivity.

SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:

- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips

A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Note: This kit is incompatible with plasma (citrate, EDTA) samples.

C-peptide of insulin is a cleavage product produced during processing of the insulin pro-hormone to the mature insulin molecule. Proinsulin is cleaved when it is released from the pancreas into the blood - one C-peptide for each insulin molecule. C-Peptide has been shown to bind to a variety of cell types, and in vivo animal diabetes models have shown positive effects on kidney and nerve function.
