Description

General description

Aldehydes are highly reactive molecules, which play a role in many physiological, pathological and commercial processes. They have been implicated as environmental pollutants, and in neurodegeneration and DNA damage. A method for rapid and accurate measurement of aldehydes is an important tool for biological and chemical research, the food industry, and environmental pollution surveillance.

Suitability

This kit is suitable for the detection of aldehydes in a variety of samples, particularly when the samples are at a lower pH. When working with samples in a high pH, product number MAK139, Colorimetric Aldehyde Assay, is more suitable.

Principle

The Colorimetric Aldehyde Assay Kit, Blue provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring aldehydes in a variety of samples. Aldehydes reacts with a sensor, resulting in a colorimetric (620 nm) product proportional to the amount of aldehyde present. The Colorimetric Aldehyde Assay Kit, Blue has a lower limit of detection of 0.3 nanomole of aldehyde in a 100 μL assay volume (3 μM).
