ProZyme Gly-SA Total Sialic acid Quantitation Kit represents a sensitive, high throughput approach to sialic acid quantitation based upon a coupled enzyme reaction converting enzymatically released sialic acid to hydrogen peroxide. This reacts with a dye stoichiometrically generating intense fluorescence or absorbance signal. This approach allows enzymatic release of sialic acid, conversion, detection and quantitation to be performed in a single well for fast and simple processing.
Other benefits include:
- Automatable, 96-well microplate format with fluorescence detection
- Broad range of detection, 40 pmol - 1,000 pmol
- Sample digestion, conversion, detection and quantitation may be performed in a single well for fast and simple processing
- Enzymatic cleavage (Sialidase A) allows rapid analysis (~75 minutes or less) with minimal, if any, degradation of sialic acid
