Short Description
Measures glucose uptake in cultured cells using a fluorescent analog.
Development Stage
Research-Grade Cellular Function Assay Development
Description
The CelluTest™ Glucose Uptake Assay Kit utilizes a non-radioactive fluorescent analog for the high-throughput screening of insulin mimetics and glucose transporter modulators. This assay validates the efficacy of anti-diabetic drugs by measuring glucose entry into cells. It provides a safe and sensitive alternative to radiolabeled assays for functional studies of glucose transport.
