PicoProbe™ Reduced Glutathione (GSH) Assay Kit (Fluorometric)

PicoProbe™ Reduced Glutathione (GSH) Assay Kit (Fluorometric)is available at Gentaur for Next week Delivery.

It specifically detects reduced glutathione. Oxidized GSSG is not detected..

Description:

Glutathione (GSH), a thiol-containing tripeptide, is a key antioxidant in living systems. Intracellular GSH status appears to be a sensitive indicator of the overall health of a cell. BioVision’s PicoProbeTM Reduced Glutathione Assay Kit is based on a specific enzymatic cycling method in the presence of GSH and a fluorophore. The reduction of the fluorophore produces a stable fluorescent product, the fluorescence of which is directly proportional to the amount of GSH in the sample and can be followed kinetically (Ex/Em=535/587 nm). Our assay is the most specific and sensitive in the market. Oxidized Glutathione does not interfere with the assay. The assay is simple, reproducible and can specifically detect as low as 8 pmol/well of reduced form of Glutathione (GSH) in a 100 µl reaction

Applications: The Fluorometric Glutathione Detection Kit provides a simple in vitro assay for detecting reduced GSH levels in apoptosis and other pathological processes. Oxidized GSSG is not detected.

Sample Typ:e Cell and tissue lysates, culture media, urine, plasma and serum, as well as many other biological fluids
