Pyruvate Assay Kit

Description

• General description: Pyruvate is a key intermediate in cellular metabolic pathways. Pyruvate can be converted to carbohydrates via gluconeogenesis, to fatty acids or energy through acetyl-CoA, to the amino acid alanine and to ethanol. Abnormal levels of pyruvate have been linked to liver diseases and metabolic disorders. Simple, direct and automation-ready procedures for measuring pyruvate concentrations find wide applications in research and drug discovery.
• Application: The Pyruvate Assay Kit may be used for:Drug DiscoveryFood and Beverage TestingNeurological Disease Research
• Features and Benefits: Broad Detection Range: Detect Pyruvate levels accurately across a wide range, from 2 µM to 500 µM, using only 10 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.
• Suitability: Suitable for pyruvate detection in biological samples and for studying the effects of drugs on pyruvate metabolism.
• Principle: The Pyruvate Assay Kit uses a single Working Reagent that combines pyruvate oxidase and hydrogen peroxide determination in one step. The color intensity of the reaction product at 570nm or fluorescence intensity at λem/ex = 585/530nm is directly proportional to pyruvate concentration in the sample. Linear detection range in 96-well plate: 2 to 500 μM (17 μg/dL to 4.4 mg/dL) pyruvate for colorimetric assays and 0.2 to 50 μM for fluorometric assays.
