Description

General description

Called the “master gland” because it controls many other endocrine glands, the pituitary secretes several key hormones that play important roles in the regulation of metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Pituitary hormones are responsible for the stimulation of the adrenal gland (ACTH), thyroid gland (TSH), ovaries and testes (FSH, LH), as well as blood pressure and the amount of water excreted by the kidneys. Through its connection with the pituitary, the hypothalamus modulates endocrine function by detecting hormone levels.

MILLIPLEX^® Non-Human Primate Pituitary Panel 1 is a 7-plex kit to be used for the simultaneous quantification of any or all of the following analytes in non-human primate serum, plasma, and tissue culture samples: ACTH, AGRP, CNTF, FSH, GH, LH, and TSH. This kit uses a 96-well format, contains a lyophilized standard cocktail, two internal assay quality controls and can measure up to 38 samples in duplicate.

The Luminex^® xMAP^® platform uses a magnetic bead immunoassay format for ideal speed and sensitivity to quantitate multiple analytes simultaneously, dramatically improving productivity while conserving valuable sample volume.
