D-Gluconate (D-Gluconic Acid) Assay Kit (Colorimetric)

D-Gluconic acid (C6H12O7) is a mild organic acid that is produced from glucose by glucose oxidase. It is abundantly present in plants, fruits and animal tissues. D-Gluconate (C6H11O7) is the salt or ester of Gluconic Acid. Due to its low toxicity, it is widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and other industries. BioVision’s D-Gluconate (Gluconic Acid) Assay kit is a sensitive, fast and easy-to-use kit. In this assay, Gluconate is utilized by Gluconokinase to form D-Gluconate-6-P and ADP, which subsequently undergoes a series of reactions to form an intermediate that reduces Gluconate probe to give a product with strong absorbance at 450 nm. This assay kit can detect D-Gluconate (D-Gluconic Acid) level less than 2 µM in a variety of samples.
