SUCCINATE ASSAY KIT

Non disponible en dehors du Royaume-Uni et de l'Irlande

Features and Benefits

Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.

General description

Succinate, or succinic acid, can be found in all plants and animal tissues. It is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle and plays an important role in intracellular energy generation. Succinate is widely used as a flavoring agent in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries due to its low toxicity.

Principle

The Succinate Assay Kit provides a simple, one step assay for measuring succinate. In this assay succinate is converted to pyruvate which reacts with specific reagents and dye to form a colored product. The color intensity at 570 nm or fluorescence at λex/em = 530/585 nm of the reaction product is directly proportional to succinate concentration in the sample. Linear detection range 10 µM to 400 µM for colorimetric assays and 2 to 40 µM for fluorimetric assays.

Suitability

Suitable for succinate determination in food, beverage, agricultural products, and other biological samples.
