Products

Acetoacetate assay kit

96-well colorimetric assay for measurement of acetoacetate in serum, plasma, urine and other biological samples; single working reagent with OD550nm readout and defined linear range and detection limit.

Acetylcholinesterase reagent (single-reagent preparation)

Single reagent optimized for acetylcholinesterase activity measurement compatible with chemistry analyzers and 96-well plate assays; uses Ellman colorimetric chemistry with OD410nm readout.

Transfer pipettes (various volumes)

Single-use disposable transfer pipettes available in multiple nominal volumes supplied in packs for manual sample transfer in small-volume assays.

Adipolysis (glycerol) assay kit

96- or 384-well assay for quantification of glycerol released during adipolysis in cell culture media; compatible with colorimetric or fluorimetric detection and HTS workflows.

Acetate assay kit

Enzyme-coupled colorimetric or fluorimetric assay for quantitative determination of acetate in serum, plasma, food and environmental samples; automatable for high-throughput processing.

Aconitase enzyme activity assay kit
