Total Amino Acid Microplate Assay Kit

Background: Amino acids are organic compounds that contain amine and carboxyl functional groups, along with a side chain specific to each amino acid. The key elements of an amino acid are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, although other elements are found in the side chains of certain amino acids. About 500 naturally occurring amino acids are known and can be classified in many ways. They can be classified according to the core structural functional groups' locations as alpha-, beta-, gamma- or deltaamino acids; other categories relate to polarity, pH level, and side chain group type. In the form of proteins, amino acid residues form the second-largest component of human muscles and other tissues. Beyond their role as residues in proteins, amino acids participate in a number of processes such as neurotransmitter transport and biosynthesis. Total Amino Acid Microplate Assay Kit is designed to measure total amino acid directly in biological samples without any pretreatment. The intensity of the color, measured at 570nm, is directly proportional to the total amino acid concentration in the sample.

Small volumes of Total Amino Acid 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.
