Cholesterol Uptake Fluorometric Assay Kit

Cholesterol is the main steroid compound in mammals and plays an important role in basic cellular life activities. Moderate intake of cholesterol can provide a good guarantee for the oxidation stability and physical stability of liposomes, and has a preventive effect on cardiovascular diseases, but excessive intake of cholesterol has the risk of causing hyperlipidemia, tumor and other diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the ability of cells to take up cholesterol.
This kit can measure cholesterol uptake ability in cell samples by convenient fluorescence method. Cholesterol substrate in this kit can enter cells through the endocytosis mediated by low density lipoprotein receptor on the cell membrane, and the ability of cells to take up cholesterol can be measured by fluorescence microscopy, fluorescence microplate reader, flow cytometry and other instruments to detect fluorescence intensity.

Small volumes of Cholesterol Uptake assay kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS2577852 is an assay kit targeting Cholesterol Uptake. Also known as Cholesterol Uptake Fluorometric Assay Kit.
