Biochemical & Molecular
Plate-reader kits for enzyme activity, mitochondrial complexes, protein and amino acid quantification, ions and signalling, for cells, tissue and biological fluids.
Activity assays for respiratory chain complexes I to IV and ATP synthase.
Dehydrogenases, phosphatases, transaminases, oxidases, proteases and more.
Individual amino acids plus BCA, Bradford and Biuret protein quantification.
Iron, copper, zinc, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride and phosphate.
Biochemical assays quantify a defined molecule or enzyme activity in a sample, usually by a colour or fluorescence change read on a microplate reader. Colorimetric kits need only an absorbance reader; fluorometric kits add sensitivity for low-abundance analytes or small sample volumes.
Further kits for choline and acetylcholine, GABA, hydroxyproline, nitric oxide and a dual luciferase reporter assay are listed in the product grid on this page.
Most kits are read on a standard absorbance or fluorescence microplate reader. The read-out is stated in each product name.
Compatibility varies by kit and commonly includes serum, plasma, urine, tissue homogenates, cell lysates and culture medium. Check the product page for validated samples.
Colorimetric assays are simple and need only an absorbance reader. Fluorometric assays are generally more sensitive and suit low analyte levels.
