Eton Bio -Glucose Assay Kit

SHARE

Glucose is the most important carbohydrate in biology. Transported via the blood stream, it is the primary source of energy for the body’s cells. Glucose levels are highly regulated in the human body. Failure to maintain blood glucose in the normal range leads to conditions of persistently high or low blood sugar. Diabetes mellitus is the most prominent disease related to improper blood sugar regulation. The determination of glucose levels in blood is critical in the control of diabetes. Eton’s Glucose Assay Kit provides a simple, reproducible, and sensitive tool for assay glucose in plasma, serum, and urine. The glucose assay uses the glucose oxidase-peroxide reaction for the determination of glucose concentrations. The color intensity of the reaction product at 490nm is directly proportional to the glucose concentration in the sample. The kit is stable until the expiration date under proper storage and handling conditions. The product is for research only.
