Biosensis Alpha-Synuclein Rapid ELISA Kit: Human

Aggregated alpha-synuclein, specifically its oligomeric form, is well known as the primary component in Lewy body fibrils, and these fibrils are a classic pathology symptom of Parkinson’s disease. Both monomeric and oligomeric α-synuclein can be detected in a range of biological samples, including cerebrospinal fluid, blood plasma, saliva and red blood cells (RBC).

However, finding an assay that measures accurate amounts of α-synuclein from a specific biological sample is often challenging. Optimising protein extraction is important — but employing an assay that measures the accurate concentration of an analyte, such as α-synuclein, from RBC is vital.

Biosensis has addressed the need for the quantification of α-synuclein with its rapid ELISA kit for this important target. The Alpha-Synuclein Rapid ELISA Kit: Human features real validation data on quantification in human blood and CSF; low intra- and inter-assay CVs of <10%; a complete kit with precise instructions; fast (<4 h) assay performance; and good batch-to-batch consistency.
