DatasheetMSDSProtocol
The Melatonin ELISA kit allows for the easy and accurate quantification of N-acetyl-5-methoxy-tryptamine (melatonin) in plasma and serum samples. With a detection limit of 1.6 pg/mL, the kit enables the measurement of melatonin in blood during both daytime (0 to 20 pg/mL) and nighttime (40 to 100 pg/mL).
