For the rapid measurement of PGE₂ from biological samples.

• Measure PGE₂ in multiple sample types
• Assay 24 samples in triplicate or 36 samples in duplicate
• Measure PGE₂ levels down to 36 pg/ml
• Rapid assay; get results in under 4 hours

PGE₂ is one of the primary COX products of arachidonic acid and one of the most widely investigated prostaglandins. Its activity influences inflammation, fertility and parturition, gastric mucosal integrity, and immune modulation. Because of its involvement in inflammation, PGE₂ is the key indicator of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs efficacy via inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2. Cayman Chemical’s PGE₂ Express ELISA is a competitive assay that permits the rapid measurement of PGE₂ from biological samples, requiring only 1 hour incubation and development times for each step. The foundation of the assay is Cayman’s high-affinity, well-characterized PGE₂ monoclonal, the same used in our PGE₂ Monoclonal ELISA Kit . While Item No. 514010 offers superior sensitivity (80% B/B₀ ~15 pg/ml), the new PGE₂ Express Assay offers the convenience of a fast assay while still achieving an 80% B/B₀ of 36 pg/ml and an assay range of 15.6-2,000 pg/ml.
