Overview

Product name
Maltose and Glucose Assay Kit


Product overview
Maltose contains two glucose units joined by an alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkage, which can be easily converted to two glucoses by alpha-D-glucosidase. Glucose oxidase specifically oxidizes free glucose to produce a product that interacts with the glucose probe to generate color and fluorescence. Therefore, glucose or maltose levels in various biological samples (e.g. serum, plasma, body fluids, food, growth medium, etc.) can be easily determined by either colorimetric (spectrophotometry at OD = 570 nm) or fluorometric (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm) methods. The assay can detect 10 pmol to 10 nmol glucose per assay.
