Sialic Acid Assay Kit, BioAssay(TM), Colorimetric/Fluorimetric

Sialic Acid is a general name for nine carbon acidic sugars with N- or O-substituted derivatives. The most common member of these sugars is N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA). Sialic acid is widely distributed throughout mammalian tissues and fluids including serum. Sialylated oligosaccharides have been shown to exhibit antiviral properties and are also known to influence blood coagulation and cholesterol levels. The sialic acid level in body fluids is also an important marker for diagnosing cancer. Simple and direct procedures for measuring sialic acid concentrations find wide applications in research and drug discovery. Sialic acid assay uses an improved Warren method, in which sialic acid is oxidized to formylpyruvic acid which reacts with thiobarbituric acid to form a pink colored product. The color intensity at 549nm or fluorescence intensity at ^em/^ex=585/555nm is directly proportional to sialic acid concentration in the sample.\n\nKey Features:\nSensitive and Accurate: \n
