Enzo Life Sciences Corticosterone & Cortisol ELISA Kits

Click2Contact

The Enzo Life Sciences Corticosterone & Cortisol ELISA kits are colorimetric, competitive immunoassay kits optimised to quantitatively determine sample levels in culture supernatants, faeces, plasma, serum, urine and saliva from any species.

The kits feature highly flexible, reliable and sensitive assays, able to detect 27 pg/mL (corticosterone) or 56 pg/mL (cortisol). Their higher throughput means results can be obtained from up to 39 samples in just 3 h. There is low cross-reactivity with related steroids.

Known as the stress hormone, corticosterone (cortisol in humans) is the main indicator of stress and circadian rhythms, with additional roles in energy regulation and the immune response.

Corticosterone production has been shown to increase with stress, with elevated corticosterone levels being associated with impairment of long-term memory retrieval and following burn injury. In addition to stress levels, corticosterone is believed to play a decisive role in sleep-wake patterns.
