Glucose Assay, Cat-No. MA-0122
Glucose is the primary source of energy in all organisms. In plants, glucose is stored as starch and as glycogen in animals. Blood glucose concentration is highly regulated and a variety of metabolic disorders is reflected in a significant deviation in glucose concentration. AkrivisBio’s Glucose Assay is a simple, sensitive way to measure Glucose in a wide range of biological samples. In this assay, Glucose is oxidized by glucose oxidase forming gluconolactone and hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is utilized by the peroxidase to oxidize ADHP thereby resulting in the formation of intense color or fluorescence measured at OD 570 nm or at Ex/Em = 535/587 nm respectively.

Urea Assay, Cat-No. MA-0118
Urea is a waste product formed in the liver as a result of protein metabolism and is excreted by the kidneys. It is the primary means of nitrogen excretion in mammals. Thus, measuring urea levels can provide information about kidney function or other metabolic conditions. AkrivisBio’s Urea Assay is a simple, sensitive way to measure the concentration of urea in a variety of biological samples. In this assay, urea is hydrolyzed by the urease to ammonia, which via a series of reactions results in the formation of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is then utilized by the peroxidase to oxidize ADHP thereby resulting in the formation of intense color measured at OD 570 nm. The assay sensitivity is 0.1-0.2 nmol of urea per well

Triglyceride Assay, Cat-No. MA-0110
Triglycerides are the primary constituent of body fat in both animals and plants and are an important energy source. Triglyceride Assay is used to investigate lipid-related disorders in research studies. AkrivisBio’s Triglyceride Assay is a simple and sensitive assay to measure triglyceride levels in samples. In this assay, mono, di and triglycerides in samples are hydrolyzed by lipase to generate free fatty acids and free glycerol. Glycerol is then oxidized to generate a product that reacts with the probe to form an intense color or fluorescence measured at OD 570 nm or at Ex/Em = 535/587 nm respectively.
| Sample Type | Tissue Extracts, Cell Lysate, Serum, Plasma, Urine |
| Species | All |
| Method of Detection | Colorimetric, OD 570 nm or Fluorometric, Ex/Em = 535/587 nm |
| Application | A plate based colorimetric/fluorometric assay to measure 0-10 nanomoles/well (colorimetric) and 1-5 picomoles/well (fluorometric) of Triglyceride levels in samples. |
| Sensitivity | <1μM |

NAD/NADH Assay, Cat-No. MA-0114
The NAD/NADH redox couple is essential for maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. NADH is the primary vehicle whereby reducing equivalents are converted to ATP in the cell. With thousands of oxidoreductases in the cell, each with its own set of optimal conditions, the assay of nicotinamide nucleotides becomes a useful very broad index of the overall health of the cell. AkrivisBio’s NAD/NADH Assay provides a simple, sensitive means of detecting NAD and NADH. The ability to measure these concentrations allows the determination of the NAD/ NADH ratio, which gives important insight into the overall redox state of the cell. The assay is specific for the NAD/NADH couple and not NADP/ NADPH, which are used primarily for unrelated anabolic reactions.

Pyruvate Assay, Cat-No. MA-0129
Pyruvate is a crucial molecule in cellular metabolism. It also serves as a key precursor for various biosynthetic pathways, including the synthesis of amino acids and fatty acids. Pyruvate’s central role in energy production and biosynthesis makes it a fundamental molecule in cellular processes. Measuring pyruvate levels can provide insights into various pathological conditions, including metabolic disorders, liver diseases, cancer etc. AkrivisBio’s Pyruvate Assay is a simple, sensitive method of quantitating pyruvate in a variety of biological sample types. In the assay, Pyruvate in the sample is oxidized by pyruvate oxidase with the formation of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is then utilized by the peroxidase to oxidize ADHP forming an intense color or fluorescence measured at OD = 570 nm or at Ex/Em = 538/587 nm respectively.
