More Details

Fatty acids are aliphatic monocarboxylic acids that are ubiquitously found in animal or vegetable fat, oil, and wax. Fatty Acids play important roles in cellular synthesis, and energy metabolism and are implicated in diverse disorders such as diabetes mellitus, sudden infant death syndrome, and Reye Syndrome. BioAssay Systems method provides a simple, one-step, and high-throughput assay for measuring free fatty acids. In this assay, free fatty acids are enzymatically converted to acyl-CoA and subsequently to H2O2. The resulting H2O2 reacts with a specific dye to form a pink-colored product. The optical density at 570nm or fluorescence intensity (530/585 nm) is directly proportional to the free fatty acid concentration in the sample.

Can you tell me what is the conversion factor for free fatty acids from µM to mEq/L? We are about to measure FFA with your assay (EFFA-100) but most publications in domestic animals are in mEq/L?

1 mEq/L = 1 mmole/L = 1000 µM.

I have just noticed that EDTA can interfere in this assay but, since I used Microvette CB 300 capillary tubes containing Potassium EDTA to collect the blood, I would like to know at what concentration (if known) EDTA is an inhibitor of the reaction.

EDTA in the sample will complex Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions of the assay buffer, necessary cofactors for the enzymes that are used in the assay.

Plasma EDTA tubes usually contain around 5 mM EDTA in the final volume if filled to the draw volume. Much of the EDTA will be complexed with blood Ca2+/Mg2+ ions, and thus not interfere with the assay. The EDTA concentration will be higher if the tubes are only partially filled.

Since the sample to assay buffer ratio is 1:10 and the assay buffer Mg2+ concentration is 1 mM, I would not expect any interference in samples from tubes that have been filled completely. If the collection tube had only been filled partially, I would recommend supplementing the assay working reagent with an additional 1 mM MgCl2.
