Application Notes
Background
Citric acid (CA) is an integral element required for robust cellular function and metabolism. As a key acidic metabolite, it modulates enzymatic activities and influences intra-cellular signaling. Moreover, consequently, robust measurement of this parameter is highly beneficial for comprehensive functional profiling.
Application
Specifically engineered for evaluating citric acid (CA) dynamics in plant physiology, stress adaptation signaling, and cellular homeostasis research.
Key Features & Advantages
Robust Assay Design; Easy-to-Follow Protocol; 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.
