CheKine™ Mirco Cellulose (CLL) Concent Assay Kit

Cellulose (CLL) is a large polysaccharide molecule composed of glucose units, typically associated with hemicelluloses, pectins, and lignin, serving as the primary structural component of plant cell walls. It is a significant dietary fiber and the most abundant and widely distributed polysaccharide in nature. CheKine™ Mirco Cellulose (CLL) Concent Assay Kit offers a simple, convenient, and rapid approach for assessing CLL activity, which is suitable for plant tissue samples. The principle involves cellulose, a polymer of β-glucose residues, decomposing into β-glucose under acidic conditions upon heating. Under strong acid conditions, β-glucose can dehydrate to form β-furfural compounds. These β-furfural compounds then undergo dehydration condensation with anthrone to generate furfural derivatives. The depth of the resulting color can be indirectly quantified to determine the cellulose content.

Storage at 4°C and Keep from light immediately upon receipt. Kit has a storage time of 6 months from receipt. Refer to list of materials supplied for storage conditions of individual components.

• If not assayed immediately, samples can be stored at -80°C for one month.• It is recommended to perform several dilutions of your sample to ensure the readings are within the standard value range.• Fresh samples are necessary for good results. If don't perform the assay at the same time, it's better to complete the Sample Preparation step before storing the samples.
