Find the Right Insulin Assay for Your Experiment

Mercodia: Selecting the correct insulin assay is essential for obtaining accurate and reliable results. Whether you are analyzing plasma, serum, cell culture media, or perifusion samples, having an assay that matches your experimental needs ensures precision in insulin quantification.


Mercodia offers a comprehensive range of insulin assays designed for specific applications and sample types.

Which Insulin Assay Should You Choose?

Ultrasensitive Insulin ELISA (10-1132-01)

Sensitivity is key when measuring very low insulin concentrations. This assay is designed to detect insulin levels as low as 0.15 mU/L, making it ideal for studies requiring precise measurements in the lower concentration range. Range: 0.15 – 20 mU/L, Sample volume: 25 µL.

Insulin ELISA (1 or 10 pack) (10-1113-01, 10-1113-10)

This is the go-to choice for standard insulin measurements in plasma or serum. It provides reliable quantification within a broad physiological range and is available in a cost-effective 10-pack format for labs processing high sample volumes. Range: 3.0 – 200 mU/L, Sample volume: 25 µL.

Iso-Insulin ELISA (10-1128-01)

Want to measure endogenous and exogenous insulin? This assay measures both, making it valuable for studies involving insulin therapy or metabolic research. Range: 3.0 – 100 mU/L, Sample volume: 25 µL.

Insulin (Total) MBeads Assay (10-1353-01)

Designed for perifusion and in vitro culture samples, this bead-based assay accurately measures insulin from human and mouse-derived cells. With 96 or 384-well formats, it also supports high-throughput insulin quantification, making it ideal for large-scale studies. Range: 23.3 – 1302 mU/L, Sample volume: 5 µL.

This assay provides high accuracy by selectively measuring human insulin while minimizing interference from similar cross-reactants. With a low sample requirement of just 10 µL per well, it reduces the need for unnecessary dilutions—making it ideal for volume-limited experiments. Range: 6,73 – 960 mU/L, Sample volume: 10 µL.

Lispro NL-ELISA (10-1291-01)

Designed for researchers studying insulin lispro, this ELISA provides specific and reliable detection of the fast-acting insulin analog. Range: 1.0 – 500 mU/L, Sample volume: 10 µL.


With a range of options tailored to different experimental conditions, Mercodia’s insulin assays provide the accuracy and sensitivity required for insulin research.
