OXPHOSight™ Acetoacetate Assay Kit

CAT#: ITS-1125-HM63
Product Type: Assay Kit
Species: All Species
Short Description
Specific quantification of acetoacetate (ketone body).
Brand
OXPHOSight
Development Stage
Research-Grade Metabolic Assay Development
Description
The OXPHOSight™ Acetoacetate Assay Kit specifically quantifies acetoacetate, distinguishing it from other ketone bodies to provide precise monitoring of diabetic ketoacidosis. This assay supports clinical trials for ketogenic diets and metabolic therapies by tracking acute shifts in fatty acid oxidation. It is essential for evaluating the safety and efficacy of drugs that influence ketogenesis.
