MILLIPLEX® Mouse Kidney Injury Magnetic Bead Panel 2 - Toxicity Multiplex Assay ยี่ห้อ Sigma

DESCRIPTION

General description

Maintenance of physiological balance in the body is attributed in part to normal kidney function. An altered kidney function due to injury, drug toxicity or kidney failure may be life threatening. There are multiple risk factors for kidney injury including age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart failure and liver failure. On the other hand, drug induced damage to the kidney results from drug excretion. Traditional markers for assessing renal toxicity, such as blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine, are insensitive and non-specific. Although both are direct measurements of renal function, increases in serum concentrations of these biomarkers occur only after substantial renal injury. Specificity and earlier detection of kidney injury is vital. For improved detection of acute nephrotoxicity, a panel of novel urinary kidney biomarkers has been identified and validated for preclinical studies in relevant animal species. We provide valuable research assays to investigate multiple biomarkers of kidney injury in mouse urine samples using the Luminex^® xMAP^® instrument platform.

The MILLIPLEX^® Mouse Kidney Injury Bead Panel 2 contains all the components necessary to measure the following five biomarkers in any combination using Luminex^® xMAP^® technology: Clusterin, Cystatin C, EGF, Lipocalin-2/NGAL, Osteopontin (OPN). The kit uses a 96-well format, contains a lyophilized standard cocktail, two quality controls and can measure up to 38 urine samples in duplicate.
