The MaxDiscovery™ Glucose Assay Kit is a plate-based colorimetric enzymatic assay for the determination of glucose in serum samples.
MaxDiscovery™ Glucose Assay Kit is a simple, direct and automation-compatible method for measuring glucose levels in serum samples. This kit uses a coupled enzymatic reaction scheme: Glucose is first oxidized by glucose oxidase enzyme to form gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. In the second step, the hydrogen peroxide reacts with a chromogenic dye using peroxidase to form a visibly-colored (red) dye product. The amount of dye product, measured by the sample absorbance at 520 nm, is proportional to the concentration of glucose in the sample. The kit comes with a control solution containing a glucose standard (100 mg/dL), which is used to calibrate the assay.
Glucose is the most prominent carbohydrate found in blood. The metabolism of glucose is the chief source of cellular energy throughout the body. The determination of serum glucose is an important marker for a number of disease states. Elevated levels of glucose are strongly associated with diabetes and other diseases such as liver or thyroid diseases, renal failure, and pancreatitis while low glucose levels are linked to insulin-induced hypoglycemia and neoplasms. |
