High Sensitivity Glucose Assay Kit Sufficient for 100 Fluorometric tests

General description

Glucose is a primary energy source that naturally occurs in its free state in fruits and other plant parts.[2] Abnormal glucose levels have been associated with several metabolic dysfunctions such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and diabetes mellitus.[6][3] Measurements of glucose levels in tissues and body fluids (such as blood and urine) are often used for the diagnosis of glucose-related disorders. Glucose levels are also monitored to check the efficacy of therapeutics such as insulin and sulphonylureas in type 2 diabetics.[4][7]

Suitability

High Sensitivity Glucose Assay Kit is a highly sensitive assay for determining glucose levels (ranging from 20-100pmole/well) in a variety of biological samples.

Principle

Glucose concentration is determined by a coupled enzyme assay, which results in a fluorometric (λex = 535/λem = 587 nm) product proportional to the glucose present.
