The new Glucose Oxidase Activity Assay Kit, MAK501, is now available! Glucose Oxidase (GOx, EC 1.1.3.4) is an enzyme found in insects, fungi, and bacteria that catalyzes the oxidation of D-glucose to D-gluconolactone. GOx is widely used in the food, beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.

Suitable for the measurement of glucose oxidase (GOx) in a variety of samples including cells and serum

The Glucose Oxidase Activity Assay Kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring GOx activity in a variety of biological samples. GOx activity is determined by a coupled enzyme assay, in which GOx oxidizes D-glucose resulting in the production of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) that reacts with a probe, generating a colorimetric (570 nm)/fluorometric (λ_ex = 535/λ_em = 587 nm) product, proportional to the GOx present. One unit of GOx is defined as the amount of enzyme that generates 1.0 μmole of H₂O₂ per minute at 37 °C.
