Glucose Assay Kit-WST

Description

Glucose, the most important biological energy source, is a known marker for energy metabolism. It is used not only as a marker for diabetes and obesity but also for monitoring changes in intracellular metabolism, such as lactate production. In addition, a recent study suggested that inhibition of the enzymatic activities involved in both glucose and lipid metabolism effectively inhibits cancer cell proliferation.

Glucose Assay Kit-WST enables quantitation of glucose as a substrate in energy metabolism. This kit has been optimized to quantify glucose in cell culture supernatants by measuring absorbance in a colorimetric WST reaction. This kit is formatted for 96-well microplates and the assay has a detection limit of 0.02 mmol/L glucose.
