Product Description
Copper assay kit (3,5-DiBr-PAESA) is available at Gentaur for Next Week Delivery.
Description: Inside human body, approximately 95% of copper in the plasma is attached to alpha-2- globulin, ceruloplasmin and some enzymes with ferroxidase activity. The main role of protein containing copper is oxidation-reduction function. Copper deficiency is known to be associated with some diseases such as heart disease, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, Menkes syndrome and Wilson's disease. It has been also reported that copper deficiency may cause reduction of anti-oxidative function in vivo. On the other hand, the excess copper is toxic. This kit is a simple colorimetric assay which can detect copper precisely in biological fluids in a short period of time (about 10 minutes).
More Information:
Assay principle: In this assay system, copper is dissociated from ceruloplasmin and other copper containing proteins, by denaturing agent in acidic condition. Free and protein-associated copper will form a copper -3-5 DiBr-PAESA complex, which can be detected by absorbance at 580 nm.
Specifity: Specific to Cu2+ and Cu+
Measuring range: 3 - 400 µg/dL
Form:
Antigen:
Applications: Serum, plasma, urine, saliva, cell lysate, tissue extract, plant extract, hair extract, food extract and water. Will be interfered by EDTA.
Storage: 2 - 8°C (don't freeze).
Expiry: 1 year after the day of manufacturing.
Required but not provided: Distilled water 96 well microtiter plate Micropipettors and pipette tips Microtiter plate reader (measuring wavelength 580 nm)
