The new enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) hepcidin kit was jointly developed by teams in the United States and Germany, under the strict standards of DRG International (Mountainside, NJ, USA)

The new DRG hepcidin 25 (C-terminal) ELISA kit will be available to medical professionals worldwide. It provides a simple, fast, and accurate method to test patient hepcidin levels. The measurement results will offer information to clinicians to help them diagnose and treat some of the most common iron-deficiency diseases worldwide.

"With many health problems related to Hepcidin, the research team at DRG recognized the need to invent a testing kit, and put it in the hands of health professionals across the globe as soon as possible," stated Dr. Cyril E. Geacintov, chairman of DRG International. "This kit provides accurate information, is user-friendly, and will help meet the rapidly growing worldwide demand for such a testing kit."
