Please note that this kit is also available as an ELISA Kit abx150311.
Introduction | Prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2α) is a prostanoid derived from prostaglandin H2, with prostaglandin E2 as an intermediate chemical. PGF2α can be converted into a PGF2β by altering the stereochemistry of the hydroxyl group on carbon 9. PGF2α is upregulated in response to oxytocin and acts on the corpus luteum to reduce progesterone production. 8-epi-prostaglandin F2α is a stereoisomer of PGF2α (carbon 8 is the chiral centre). This isoprostane causes vasoconstriction in the kidneys and promotes platelet aggregation. |
Target | 8-Isoprostane (8-epi-PGF2a) |
Reactivity | General (All species) |
Tested Applications | CLIA |
Recommended dilutions | Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
Storage | Shipped at 4 °C. Upon receipt, store the kit according to the storage instruction in the kit"s manual. |
Validity | The validity for this kit is 6 months. |
Stability | The stability of the kit is determined by the rate of activity loss. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage conditions. To minimize performance fluctuations, operation procedures and lab conditions should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same user throughout. |

Note | This product is for research use only. The range and sensitivity is subject to change. Please contact us for the latest product information. For accurate results, sample concentrations must be diluted to mid-range of the kit. If you require a specific range, please contact us in advance or write your request in your order comments. Please note that our ELISA and CLIA kits are optimised for detection of native samples, rather than recombinant proteins. We are unable to guarantee detection of recombinant proteins, as they may have different sequences or tertiary structures to the native protein. |
