Description

Acetaldehyde Assay Kit - Information

The colorimetric acetaldehyde assay kit is based on the aldehyde dehydrogenase catalyzed oxidation of acetaldehyde, in which the formed NADH reduces a formazan reagent. The intensity of the product color, measured at 565 nm, is directly proportional to the acetaldehyde concentration in the sample.

Applications

Acetaldehyde determination in biological and food/beverage samples.

Acetaldehyde Assay Kit - Key Features

Fast and sensitive. Linear detection range (20uL sample): 2uM to 2mM acetaldehyde in 96-well plate assay.
High-throughput. The procedure involves adding a single working reagent, and reading the absorbance after 30 minutes. Room temperature assay. No 37°C heater is needed.
Convenient. Homogeneous "mix-incubate-measure" type assay. Can be readily automated on HTS liquid handling systems for processing thousands of samples per day.

More Details

ACETALDEHYDE(CHCHO) is one of the most widely occurring aldehydes in nature and is commonly used in industry. It is a metabolic byproduct of ethanol in the liver, is toxic to the human body and is rapidly converted to the less harmful acetic acid by the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase. People with a deficiency of aldehyde dehydrogenase accumulate acetaldehyde when consuming alcohol and this accumulation results in facial and body flushing often referred to as Asian flush syndrome.Build up of acetaldehyde has also been associated with the effects of hangovers from alcohol consumption. Although classified as a carcinogen, it is naturally found in many foods and beverages such as ripe fruit, coffee, and wine.
