The kit is specifically tailored for tissue-engineering users working with scaffolds, decellularized matrices, etc  — hydroxyproline (HYP) estimation gives actual collagen bioactivity, but is difficult because sample availability is limited, and destructive workflows involving LC/HPLC are costly.
 
This hydroxyproline (HYP) assay kit provides higher sensitivity (range: 0.05–10 μg/ml) enabling accurate quantification of collagen content from very low mass biomaterial samples. Unlike classical HYP workflows, this format does not require a hydrolysis step, eliminating hours of the acid digestion step and improving throughput + reproducibility. This is important especially when quantifying data at an affordable pricefor publishing literature, making QC iteration cycles shorter and can be more frequent, and ultimately more reliable collagen content benchmarking across batches, species derivations, and manufacturing modes.
