Bisphenol A ELISA Kit - E4722

E4722 | Bisphenol A ELISA Kit DataSheet

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic organic compound and the main starting material used for synthesis of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics are often used in containers that store foods and beverages such as water bottles while epoxy resins are widely used to coat the inside of metal products such as food cans, bottle tops and water pipelines. These plastics are so universal now but they may degrade to leach BPA into the foods or liquids after long-term exposure. As BPA belongs to an endocrine disruptor compound and can bind to estrogen receptors to induce estrogen-mimicking hormone-like properties, the ingestion of BPA may pose potential dangers to animals or humans. Many studies have suggested the harmful effects of BPA including obesity, infertility, heart disease, diabetes, breast and prostate cancers, as well as neurological and thyroid disorders. As a result, the determination of BPA levels in humans and animals is important in different research areas. The traditional techniques/instruments (HPLC or GC-MS) for detecting BPA are expensive, laborious, and time-consuming. On the other hand, immunoassay techniques, such as ELISA, are commonly preferred as simple, reliable and rapid methods. ’s BPA ELISA kit is a competitive-based ELISA that can detect BPA in urine and serum samples. It can detect and quantify BPA (0.4 – 30 ng/ml) within 120 minutes.
