Short Description
Quantifies urinary indican levels using a modified Obermayer colorimetric method.
Development Stage
Research-Grade Metabolic Assay Development
Description
The OXPHOSight™ Urinary Indican Test Kit offers a fast and cost-effective screening tool for detecting protein putrefaction and gastrointestinal dysbiosis. By identifying elevated indican levels associated with bacterial overgrowth and malabsorption, this kit supports pre-clinical research into digestive health and intestinal toxemia, providing critical insights for optimizing nutritional and therapeutic interventions.
Features
Rapid Diagnostic Turnaround: This optimized assay provides high-precision results within a 15-minute window, accelerating decision-making in high-throughput environments.
Refined Chemical Safety: Utilizing a modernized Obermeyer formulation, our kit reduces hazardous exposure while maintaining superior analytical sensitivity.
Simplified Direct Protocol: The intuitive "mix-and-read" format requires only 2 mL of sample, eliminating complex pretreatment or specialized instrumentation.
Process Relevance
This kit facilitates rapid screening of protein putrefaction to validate gastrointestinal integrity during metabolic research and therapeutic trials.
Application Stage
Ideal for preclinical drug discovery, clinical metabolic profiling, and longitudinal monitoring of intestinal dysbiosis in patient cohorts.
Applications
The assay is utilized for quantifying bacterial tryptophan deconjugation in urine, supporting research into SIBO, malabsorption, and the efficacy of probiotic interventions.
Qualified With
Internal performance validation using reference standards under defined assay conditions.
Target
Quantitatively detects urinary indoxyl sulfate (indican) as a marker of gastrointestinal bacterial putrefaction.
Detection Method
Obermeyer (Improved)
Research Areas
Gastrointestinal physiology, microbiome-host interactions, nutritional biochemistry, metabolic syndrome research, etc.
