General description
Glycerol, also referred to as glycerin or glycerine, is a 3-carbon sugar alcohol that forms the backbone of fatty acids. It is also a component of phospholipids and triglycerides. Glycerol is a sweet-tasting, hygroscopic liquid. Glycerol is widely used in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical formulations and is the main waste by-product of biodiesel production via transesterification.
Application
Glycerol assay kit has been used to quantify glycerol release from mouse 3T3-L1 cell culture supernatant samples and to measure plasma glycerol levels.
This kit is suitable for glycerol detection in foods, beverages, pharmaceutical formulations, and biological samples.
Biochem/physiol Actions
In this kit, glycerol concentration is determined by a coupled enzyme assay involving glycerol kinase and glycerol phosphate oxidase, resulting in a colorimetric (570 nm)/fluorometric (lex = 535/lem = 587 nm) product, proportional to the glycerol present. The linear range of detection for this kit is 10-1,000 μM (colorimetric) and 2-50 μM (fluorometric).
Features and Benefits
Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.
Storage Class Code
10 - Combustible liquids
