Hyaluronic Acid (HA), also known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate, is a large molecule (MV> 500KD) and is distributed throughout the body connective tissues. HA is an important component of synovial fluid, articular cartilage, skin, and extracellular matrix and play critical role in joints, cartilage, and skin health and the integrity of cells and cell functions. It has been extensively used in skin care products (cosmetic are) and in un-healthy joints treatments. It has been reported that the patients with fibrosis has significant increases in HA in serum and plasma. The present kit is designed to detect hHA in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants, cell lysate, and tissue homogenates.

AlphaLISA technology allows the detection of molecules of interest in a no-wash, highly sensitive, quantitative assay. In this AlphaLISA assay, a biotinylated human aggrecan binds to the Streptavidin-coated Donor beads and human aggrecan is conjugated to AlphaLISA Acceptor beads. In the presence of the analyte, the beads come into close proximity. The excitation of the Donor beads causes the release of singlet oxygen molecules that triggers a cascade of energy transfer in the Acceptor beads, resulting in a sharp peak of light emission at 615 nm.
