Inorganic sulfate ion is one of the most abundant polyatomic anions in mammalian body fulids and it is essential for the synthesis of many biomolecules such as glycosaminoglycans, choline sulfate, steroid sulfate, cerebroside sulfate and heparin sulfate. Some biomolecules having a sulfate moiety can activate or assist detoxification processes of drugs, steroids, neurotransmitters, bile acids, food additives and heavy metals. In humans, sulfate ions are mostly absorbed by kidneys and little is excreted into urine. Sulfate deficiency can lead to fetal underdevelopment, autism or osteochondrodysplasia disorder. Therefore, the estimation of physiological concentrations of sulfate in human is critical. BioVision's Sulfate Assay is a simple, fast
