DESCRIPTION FRUCTOSE (C6H12O6, also called levulose or laevulose), is a monosaccharide found in honey, tree fruits, berries, melons, and some root vegetables along with glucose and galactose. The human body can use fructose for energy, however, too much consumption may lead to high triglycerides. Simple, direct and high-throughput assays for fructose determination find wide applications. Our reagent system reacts directly and specifically with fructose to form a colored product. Glucose and galactose do not interfere. The color intensity at 565nm is directly proportional to the fructose concentration in the sample.
KEY FEATURES Use as little as 20 μL samples. Linear detection range in 96-well plate: 12 to 1000 μM fructose.
APPLICATIONS Direct Assays: fructose in biological samples (e.g. serum, plasma, urine, saliva, milk, culture medium), food, juice, beverage and other
agricultural products. Drug Discovery/Pharmacology: effects of drugs on fructose metabolism.
STORAGE CONDITIONS The kit is shipped on ice. Store all components at -20°C. Shelf life of three months after receipt.
