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 higher pH. When working with samples in a low pH, product number MAK140, Colorimetric Aldehyde Assay, is more suitable.

Principle

The Colorimetric Aldehyde Assay Kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring aldehydes in a variety of samples. Aldehydes reacts with a dye, resulting in a colorimetric (405 or 550 nm) product proportional to the amount of aldehyde present. The Colorimetric Aldehyde Assay Kit has a lower limit of detection of 1 nanomole of aldehyde in a 100 μL assay volume. This kit has been used for monitoring activities of oxidases that convert an amino group to an aldehyde group.
