| usage | sufficient for 200 fluorometric tests |
| Application: | This kit is suitable for the detection of aldehydes in a variety of samples, particularly when the samples are at a higher pH. When working with samples in a low pH, product number MAK140, Colorimetric Aldehyde Assay, is more suitable. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | The fluorometric aldehyde assay kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring aldehydes in samples in which the pH is physiological and higher. Aldehyde reacts with a fluorogenic dye, resulting in a fluorometric (λex = 365/λem = 435 nm) product proportional to the amount of aldehydes present. The fluorometric aldehyde assay has a lower limit of detection of 0.3nanomole of aldehyde in a 100μL assay volume (3μM). |
| General description: | Aldehydes are highly reactive molecules, which play a role in many physiological, pathological and commercial processes. They have been implicated as environmental pollutants, and in neurodegeneration and DNA damage. A method for rapid and accurate measurement of aldehydes is an important tool for biological and chemical research, the food industry, and environmental pollution surveillance. The Fluorometric Aldehyde Assay Kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring aldehydes in samples in which the pH is physiological and higher. Aldehyde reacts with a fluorogenic dye, resulting in a fluorometric (λex = 365/λem = 435 nm) product proportional to the amount of aldehydes present.
