Product Description

The TECO™ Salmonid Vitellogenin ELISA Kit is a sensitive sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative determination of vitellogenin in serum, whole body homogenate and mucus of salmonids.

The test is suitable for use with Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), Brown trout (Salmo trutta), Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta), Pink salmon/Humpback salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and Coregonus species.

Vitellogenin determination is one of the core endpoints in screening and testing for endocrine disrupting chemicals standardised in the OECD Guidlines for the testing of chemicals for estrogenic activity:

OECD (2009), Test No.229
OECD (2009), Test No.230
OECD (2011), Test No.234

Vitellogenin determination is used in ecotoxicological studies to determine estrogenic compounds in the water, and can be used to determine the sex and the status of sexual maturation of fish
