Product details:
Abcam's Glucose and Sucrose Assay Kit provides a convenient means for measuring glucose and sucrose levels from various biological samples (e.g. serum, plasma, body fluids, food, growth medium, etc.). To measure glucose level, glucose oxidase specifically oxidizes free-glucose generating a compound that reacts with the glucose probe to produce resorufin, which can be detected colorimetrically (OD570nm) or fluorometrically (Ex/Em 535/587). To measure sucrose, invertase can be added to the reaction to convert sucrose to free glucose and fructose, so total glucose level can be measured. Then the sucrose level = Total Glucose – Free Glucose.

Glucose (C
; FW: 180.16) and sucrose (C
; FW:342.3) are the important fuel sources to generate universal energy molecule ATP. Measurement of glucose or sucrose level can be very important in both research and development process. Sucrose is a disaccharide which can be converted into one glucose and one fructose when adding Invertase.
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K616 Glucose and Sucrose Colorimetric/Fluorometric Assay Kit. K616-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab65334.
