- Product Overview:
The main analytical pitfalls in insulin measurement in serum are related to (a) hemolysis, (b) circulating anti-insulin autoantibodies, and, for the past few years, (c) the reactivity (or lack of reactivity) of rapid- or long-acting pharmacological insulin analogs in sera (1 ). Hemolyzed samples contain an insulin-degrading enzyme and should not be analyzed unless they can be handled at 4 °C within 2 to 3 h or an insulinase inhibitor cocktail has been added in the blood collection tube to prevent insulin degradation.|This Inhibitor cocktail has been developed and validated with Bertin Bioreagent Insulin (mouse, rat) EIA kit #A05105.
