General description

Galactose (C6H12O6) is a monosaccharide that is found in dairy products, sugar beets, gums and mucilages. It is also synthesized in mammals, where it forms part of glycolipids and glycoproteins in several tissues. It forms the disaccharide lactose when combined with glucose.

Application

The kit is suitable for determining galactose concentrations in serum, plasma, urine, saliva, milk, culture medium, food and beverage products, and other biological samples, as well as for studying the effects of drugs on galactose metabolism.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The Galactose Assay Kit uses specific enzyme-coupled reactions to form a colored product. The color intensity at 570 nm or fluorescence intensity at λEx = 530 nm/λEm = 585 nm is directly proportional to the galactose concentration in the sample.

Features and Benefits

  • Linear detection range: 10 to 1000 µM galactose for the colorimetric assay and 10 to 100 µM for the fluorometric assay.
