Scalable Immunoassays to Detect Insulin or Glucagon
Detecting insulin or glucagon secreted from pancreatic cells or islets can be labor intensive due to the many steps required in a typical ELISA or RIA, especially when you are dealing with hundreds or thousands of samples from a perfusion experiment. Homogeneous assays reduce the steps required and are scalable to account for a high number of data points.
With our new Lumit™ technology, you can get high quality data from your cell-based secretion experiments in just 70 minutes. The protocol is simple, with no wash or transfer steps, and the assay format is scalable to fit your plate size and throughput needs. Using Lumit™ assays, you can perform a high-throughput glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) experiment in the morning and be analyzing insulin and glucagon secretion data by the afternoon, allowing you to make experimental decisions rapidly and move your diabetes research forward.
