Merck, MAK513-1KT, Maltose Assay Kit

General description
Maltose is a disaccharide, composed of two glucose units linked by an α bond. It is produced from the hydrolysis of glycogen or starch, serving as a source of energy for plants and animals. Maltose can be found in foods such as grains, and other processed products.
Application
The kit is suitable for maltose determination in various biological samples such as serum, urine, food and beverages, etc.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The Maltose Assay Kit provides a simple, one step assay for measuring maltose. In this assay, maltose is converted to two glucoses, which are then oxidized to form a colored product. The color intensity of the product at 570 nm or fluorescence intensity at λEx = 530 nm/λEm = 585 nm is directly proportional to maltose concentration in the sample.
Features and Benefits

• Linear detection range 2 to 500 µM maltose for the colorimetric assay and 1 to 50 µM for the fluorometric assay.
• Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.
