The GlycoSens™ Acetylcholine (ACH) Assay Kit provides a robust, high-precision analytical assay platform engineered for quantification of target acetylcholine in varied biological matrices. Featuring a streamlined protocol, it delivers outstanding linearity and operational speed for routine biochemical assays.
Product Type
Oxidation and Antioxidant Series
Target
ACH
Kit Components
Reaction Buffer; Specific Substrate; Standard; Reaction Stop Solution
Sample Types
Tissue homogenates, cell lysates
Sample Volume
10 μL - 50 μL
Detection Principle
The assay relies on the distinct spectroscopic optical characteristics of acetylcholine. Upon reaction with specialized chromogenic reagents, the resulting optical density shifts measured at target wavelengths directly reflect ACH content in the sample.
Detection Time
Within 1 hour
Required Equipment & Materials (Self-provided by User)
Visible Spectrophotometer or Microplate Reader, glass/quartz cuvettes, microcentrifuge, water bath/incubator, adjustable micropipettes, double-distilled water.
Acetylcholine (ACH) is an integral element required for robust cellular function and metabolism. Its concentration levels are highly indicative of the functional state and metabolic vigor of the sample. Notably, therefore, profiling its activity serves as a fundamental strategy for exploring complex biological phenomena.
Application
Ideal for investigating acetylcholine (ACH) activity and metabolic turnover during natural product research, growth factor signaling, and developmental morphogenesis studies.
Key Features & Advantages
High Specificity; Broad Sample Compatibility; Ready-to-Use Reagents
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.
