This Reducing Sugar Assay Kit is a quantitative assay kit for measuring Reducing sugars in plant tissues, animal tissues, cells, bacteria, serum, and plasma.
Applications
Functional Studies
Assay Type
Quantitative
Principle of Assay
Reducing sugars reduce DNS under alkaline conditions to form a brown-red product. The absorbance at 540 nm is proportional to reducing sugar concentration.
