Amplite® Colorimetric Aldehyde Quantitation Kit

Amplite® Colorimetric Aldehyde Quantitation Kit is a colorimetric assay kit for quantifying aldehydes using a one-step chromogenic microplate assay.

Colorimetric detection: Uses a proprietary dye that forms a chromogenic product upon reaction with aldehydes.
High sensitivity: Detects as little as 1 nmol of aldehyde in a 100 µL assay volume (10 µM).
One-step workflow: Enables aldehyde quantitation without separation steps.
Flexible plate format: Compatible with 96- or 384-well plates and absorbance measurement at 550 nm.
Applications: Suitable for biological, food, chemical, and environmental research.

Aldehyde dose response was measured in a white/clear bottom 96-well plate with Amplite® Colorimetric Aldehyde Quantitation Assay Kit using a Spectrum Max microplate reader (Molecular Devices).

Overview

Rapid and accurate measurement of aldehydes is important task for biological research, food industry, chemical research and environmental pollution surveillance. There are few reagents or assay kits available for quantifying the amount of aldehydes. Most of existing aldehyde test methods is based on separations either by the tedious and expensive HPLC-MS or GC-MS. Our Amplite® Colorimetric Aldehyde Quantitation kit uses a proprietary dye that generates a chromogenic product upon reacting with an aldehyde. The kit provides a sensitive, one-step colorimetric method to detect as little as 1 nanomole of aldehyde in a 100 µL assay volume (10 µM; Figure 1). The assay can be performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microtiter-plate format and easily adapted to automation with no separation steps required. Its signal can be easily read by absorbance microplate reader at 550 nm.
