Insulin is a peptide hormone made in the pancreas by beta cells and promotes the uptake of glucose from the blood inside tissues, where it is stored in the form of glycogen and fat. By controlling glucose levels, insulin serves as the central regulator of fat and carbohydrate metabolism.

The Insulin ELISA Kit, from Enzo Life Sciences, enables the detection of insulin in serum, plasma and tissue culture media. Key features include: sensitive measurement of insulin, detecting as little as 21.6 pg/mL; negligible cross reactivity with proinsulin; high-throughput format, with results in 3 h for up to 39 samples in duplicate; and fully quantitative results that are said to surpass semi-quantitative western blot analysis.

The kit is suitable for a variety of research areas, including diabetes mellitus, hypoglycaemia, impaired glucose tolerance, insulinoma, metabolic syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome.
