Product overview
Glycerol Assay Kit (ab65337) provides a sensitive, easy assay to measure free glycerol concentration.
In the glycerol assay protocol, glycerol is enzymatically oxidized to generate a product which reacts with the probe to generate color (λ= 570 nm) and fluorescence (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm).
This glycerol assay kit can detect 50 pmol-10 nmol (or ~1-10000 µM range) of glycerol.
Glycerol assay protocol summary:
- add samples and standards to wells
- add reaction mix and incubate for 30 min
- analyze with a microplate reader -
Notes
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K630 Free Glycerol Colorimetric/Fluorometric Assay Kit. K630-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab65337.
