The LANCE® Ultra Human Adiponectin Detection Kit is designed for detection and quantitation of human adiponectin in cell culture media using a homogeneous TR-FRET (no-wash steps, no separation steps) assay.
LANCE® and LANCE® (Lanthanide chelate excite) Ultra are our TR-FRET (time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer), homogeneous (no wash) technologies. One antibody of interest is labeled with a donor fluorophore (a LANCE Europium chelate) and the second molecule is labeled with an acceptor fluorophore (ULight™ dye). Upon excitation at 320 or 340 nm, energy can be transferred from the donor Europium chelate to the acceptor fluorophore if sufficiently close for FRET (~10 nm). This results in the emission of light at 665 nm.
Adiponectin (Acrp30, in mouse) is a hormone secreted by differentiated adipocytes that regulates energy homeostasis and glucose and lipid metabolism. It is expressed as a ~35 kDa protein. It has been demonstrated that Adiponectin / Acrp30 plays a major role in controlling whole-body metabolism, particularly by enhancing insulin sensitivity in muscle and liver, and by augmenting the oxydation of fatty acids in muscle.

The introduction of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) in the early 1970’s offered researchers a non-radiometric immunoassay platform without compromising sensitivity. Over the last 50 years scientists have made huge strides in disease research and drug discovery and a demand for greater assay throughput and sensitivity has evolved. In response, more robust immunoassays have been developed to address some of the limitations of the standard, colorimetric ELISA.
Find out about the most common limitations of traditional ELISAs and how different ELISA alternative technologies address these limitations.
