Galactose (C6H12O6) is a monosaccharide that is found in dairy products, sugar beets, gums and mucilages. It is also synthesized in mammals, where it forms part of glycolipids and glycoproteins in several tissues. It forms the disaccharide lactose when combined with glucose. Simple, direct and high-throughput assays for galactose determination find wide applications. Galactose Assay Kit uses specific enzyme-coupled reactions to form a colored product. The color intensity at 570nm or fluorescence intensity at 530nm/585nm is directly proportional to the galactose concentration in the sample. Key Features: Use as little as 20ul samples. Linear detection range in 96-well plate: 10 to 1000uM galactose for Colorimetric Assay:s and 10 to 100uM for Fluorometric Assay:s. Applications: Direct Assays: galactose in serum, plasma, urine, saliva, milk, culture medium and other biological samples. Drug Discovery/Pharmacology: effects of drugs on galactose metabolism. Food and Beverages: galactose in
