Quick Summary
The National Institute of Aging (NIA) is seeking Human Putative Humanin Peptide (MT-RNR2) ELISA kits for the HANDLS study. This combined synopsis/solicitation aims to procure 49 kits to expand ongoing longitudinal research on age-related chronic diseases, specifically examining the role of humanin in aging and type 2 diabetes. Quotes are due by May 2, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for forty-nine (49) Human Putative Humanin Peptide (MT-RNR2) ELISA Kits (96T size). These kits are essential for quantitatively measuring circulating humanin levels in serum samples from HANDLS participants. The government requires specific kits (CSB-EL015084HU or equal) to ensure continuity of research and comparability with previous pilot study results and published data in human aging cohorts. Key salient characteristics include:
- ELISA technology, 96-well format.
- Ability to measure humanin from human serum.
- Sensitivity to measure humanin at <7 pg/ml.
- Required serum volume <50 ul.
- Compatibility with SpectraMax M2 Microplate Reader.
- Direct comparability with previous research using CSB-EL015084HU.
