Human beta-Amyloid (1-42) ELISA

Description

This assay kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of human beta-Amyloid (1-42) peptide concentrations in research samples. Utilizing an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) format, the kit provides a sensitivity of 0.08 pM and is configured for 96-well plates. The beta-Amyloid (1-42) peptide is a key biomarker of interest in neuroscience, particularly in the study of Alzheimer's disease pathology. It is a primary constituent of the senile plaques found in brain tissue, with its aggregation propensity considered a critical early event in plaque formation. Distinguishing between the 40 and 42 amino acid forms of the peptide can provide insights into the stage of plaque development, as the presence of Aβ42 is often associated with initial deposition. Researchers should contact the manufacturer, FUJIFILM Wako Chemicals, for specific details regarding compatible sample types and preparation protocols.
