This assay is tailored to meet researchers'' needs, allowing you to measure HMW, Hexameric (MMW), Trimeric (LMW) and Total adiponectin, or any combination of these, by ELISA. The human Multimeric Adiponectin ELISA system was originally described by Ebinuma, H., et al. in their publication “A novel ELISA system for selective measurement of human adiponectin multimers by using proteases".
The Multimeric Adiponectin ELISA kit from ALPCO is the only commercially available method for determining the HMWR (ratio of HMW to total adiponectin). Validated at multiple academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies around the world for use in clinical research projects, the ALPCO ELISA has excelled under the strenuous demands of the research community and has been trusted in studies on large, well-defined sample cohorts including the Nurses’ Health Study and the KAROLA cohorts. Contact ALPCO for a list of publications citing this ELISA.

ALPCO Immunoassays was founded in 1990 as an importer and distributor of high quality research immunoassay kits. The company’s goals then, as now, have been to offer a diverse line of assays that appeal to their broad customer base while providing exceptional customer service and product support.
In recent years, ALPCO has solidified its place in the market not only as a distributor but as a developer and manufacturer of immunoassays in support of diabetes and obesity researchers as well. As the interest in animal models of insulin sensitivity in obese and pre-diabetic conditions continues to grow, ALPCO remains committed to serving the unique demands of this market with features including small sample volumes, reproducibility, robustness, and easy to follow protocols requiring minimal hands-on time.
