Glutamate Assay Kit

Glutamate is an important chemical in general metabolism. It is also a crucial mammalian neurotransmitter that is believed to be involved in a number of neurological and psychiatric disorders such as lateral sclerosis, lathyrism, autism and Alzheimer′s disease. Glutamate is also widely used as a flavor enhancer in the food industry. Simple, direct and automation-ready procedures for measuring glutamate concentration are very desirable.

Suitable for glutamate determination in serum, plasma, tissue extracts and food extract samples. Also suitable in drug discovery/pharmacology for studying the effects of drugs on glutamate levels.

The Glutamate Assay Kit may be used for:

• Drug Discovery
• Food and Beverage Testing
• Neurological Disease Research

The Glutamate Assay Kit is based on glutamate dehydrogenase catalyzed oxidation of glutamate, in which the formed NADH reduces a formazan (MTT) Reagent. The intensity of the product color, measured at 565 nm, is proportionate to the glutamate concentration in the sample. Detection limit of 50 μM , linearity up to 2.5 mM glutamate in 96-well plate assay.

Broad Detection Range: Detect Glutamate levels accurately across a wide range, from 50 µM to 2.5 mM, using only 20 μL of sample in a 96-well plate setup, ensuring comprehensive analysis with minimal sample requirement.

Simplified Process: Experience a streamlined process with the addition of only a single working reagent and a 30 minute room temperature reaction, reducing complexity and saving valuable time and effort.

Compatibility with High-Throughput Systems: Easily incorporate our kit into high-throughput handling systems, ensuring smooth and accurate processing, enhancing efficiency in your laboratory workflow.
