The GlycoSens™ Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) Assay Kit provides a robust, high-precision analytical assay platform engineered for quantification of target acetolactate synthase in varied biological matrices. Featuring a streamlined protocol, it delivers outstanding linearity and operational speed for routine biochemical assays.
Product Type
Nitrogen Metabolism Series
Target
ALS
Kit Components
Sample Lysis Buffer; Substrate; Detection Reagent; Standard
Sample Types
Tissues, other biological samples
Sample Volume
10 μL - 50 μL
Detection Principle
The assay relies on the distinct spectroscopic optical characteristics of acetolactate synthase. Upon reaction with specialized chromogenic reagents, the resulting optical density shifts measured at target wavelengths directly reflect ALS content in the sample.
Detection Time
30-60 minutes
Required Equipment & Materials (Self-provided by User)
Visible Spectrophotometer or Microplate Reader, glass/quartz cuvettes, microcentrifuge, water bath/incubator, adjustable micropipettes, double-distilled water.
Research highlights acetolactate synthase (ALS) as a significant participant in key metabolic and regulatory cascades. It orchestrates the biosynthesis of complex biological molecules from simpler precursors. Notably, monitoring these changes is vital for evaluating bioenergetic efficiency and systemic resilience.
Application
Designed for comprehensive functional analysis of acetolactate synthase (ALS) within tissue metabolism profiling, coenzyme utilization studies, and biochemical pathway modeling.
Key Features & Advantages
Linear Dynamic Range; Excellent Reproducibility; Versatile Application Range
Operating Instructions
1. Pre-Centrifugation of Vials: Prior to opening any reagent vials, perform a brief centrifugation to collect all powder or liquids at the bottom of the tubes.
2. Reagent Equilibration & Mixing: Allow all kit reagents and buffers to equilibrate to room temperature (25 °C) before initiating the assay.
3. Sample Storage: If samples are not assayed immediately, please store at -80 °C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
