New Enhancements to
EagleBio’s SDMA Assay that is for the quantitative determination of SDMA
(Symmetric Dimethylarginine) in serum or plasma.
Nashua, NH March 7, 2016: Eagle Biosciences today announced the launch
of a new generation SDMA
(Symmetric Dimethylarginine) ELISA . This assay was developed and is manufactured
by DLD Diagnostika GmbH (www.DLD-Diagnostika.de)
in Germany. DLD is a worldwide leader in niche tests for autoimmune and
cardiovascular diseases as well as renal dysfunction.
“The enhancements that have been made to the SDMA
ELISA will be truly beneficial to our customers. It now offers a shorter incubation time,
smaller sample volume, and can be used with additional species such as canine
and feline. The new SDMA
Fast ELISA is now very fast and precise, delivering results in less
than 3 hours.“ said Dan Keefe, President of Eagle Biosciences.
This SDMA ELISA from Eagle Biosciences is currently for research
use only. Check out the links below,

EagleBio’s Dopamine ELISA is for Research Use Only.
A recent study was conducted by Drexel University College of Medicine utilizing EagleBio’s Dopamine ELISA. Our Dopamine ELISA is designed for quantitative and very sensitive determination of dopamine in biological samples including serum, plasma, tissue, and cell culture samples. This assay provides a comprehensive array of sensitive tools to measure catecholamines and numerous neuroscience-related analytes on various types of samples. Check the product pages for full details on the kit or view the links below to find a new publication referencing our Dopamine ELISA .
New Publication:
Dopamine (DA) neurons in the mammalian central nervous system are thought to be restricted to the brain. DA-mediated regulation of urinary activity is considered to occur through an interaction between midbrain DA neurons and the pontine micturition center. Read More

The most common treatments for cancer are radiation and chemotherapy. However they have side effects and also damage healthy tissues. Moreover, their effectiveness is limited when the cancer has spread through out the body. Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute are therefore working to develop a gentler treatment that ‘tricks’ the cancer cells, which would absorb a cytotoxin and therefore be destroyed, while healthy cells would remain unaffected. The results are published in the scientific journal, Scientific Reports. Read More

LA JOLLA, CA–An estimated 15 million Americans suffer from food allergies, many of them children. These are non-trivial concerns, as food allergy or intolerance can cause symptoms ranging from a harmless skin rash to a potentially lethal anaphylactic shock. The good news is that many affected children outgrow their allergy, presumably as the immune system learns to tolerate food initially mistaken as “foreign”. Read more

Major progress has been made in recent years to produce functional insulin+ cells for cell replacement therapies to treat diabetes. These regenerative technologies include directed differentiation of embryonic stem cells and direct conversion from non-β cells such as liver cells, acinar cells, and others (Hebrok, 2012,Johannesson et al., 2015, Nostro and Keller, 2012, Schiesser and Wells, 2014,Zhou and Melton, 2008).

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati (UC) have discovered that a human cancer-causing gene, called DEK, can be detected in the plasma of head and neck cancer patients. DEK may help doctors understand how a person’s immune system could be used to treat cancer or predict outcomes for patients.

EagleBio’s Complement Assays are for Research Use only in the US. Not to be used for diagnostic procedures.
Eagle Biosciences’ Oxidative Stress Assay Kit line offers a complete group consisting of numerous valuable products for assisting scientists in fields of research such as diabetes, cancer, aging, and other similar areas of study.
Some of the most valuable kits in our Oxidative Stress Kit line are the Complement ELISA Assays which are unique, simple, objective, and effective methods for assessing the function of complement activity. Individually, each of these assays: Complement System Screen ELISA, Classical Pathway ELISA, MBL Pathway ELISA, and Alternative Pathway ELISA offer a variety of advantages over other competing kits such as ease of use and maximum accuracy. Collectively, this comprehensive line provides researchers with a kit for every complement research need by the ability to measure the three pathways separately or all three pathways together in one kit.
Why Measure Complement Activity with EagleBio’s Kits?
Evaluation of total complement function is essential in laboratory testing of the human complement system. Measuring all three pathways is the sure way to provide and accurate assessment of:
EagleBio’s Complement Assays Kits are the only kits in the market to provide a complete picture of complement function.

Biosciences’ Endocrine Assay Kit Line that consists of a comprehensive
product grouping of unique and sensitive assays for measuring a variety of
analytes for diabetes and obesity research. Our IGFBP-6 ELISA is one of the exceptional assays in this Endocrine Assay Kit Line that offers a reliable method for
measuring IGFBP-6 concentrations in serum, plasma and cell culture
supernatants.
Why Measure IGFBP-6?
Insulin-like
Growth Factor Binding protein 6 (IGFBP-6) has been identified to be a selective
inhibitor of IGF-II activities such as proliferation, survival and
differentiation of cells. According to a recent publication, Bach, L. this marker
has been shown to have a number of IGF-independent actions, involving promotion
of apoptosis in some cells and inhibition of angiogenesis. It is because of these roles that IGFBP-6
should be studied further in various fields of research[1].
EagleBio’s IGFBP-6 ELISA allows secure and reproducible measurement of IGFBP-6 in
human body fluids and is a suitable tool for the study of IGFBP-6 in growth,
cancer and bone metabolism.

A new study gives the strongest evidence yet that obesity surgery can cure diabetes. Patients who had surgery to reduce the size of their stomachs were five times more likely to see their diabetes disappear over the next two years than were patients who had standard diabetes care, according to Australian researchers.
