Amplite® Colorimetric Tyrosinase Assay Kit

Amplite® Colorimetric Tyrosinase Assay Kit provides a fast, sensitive method to monitor tyrosinase activity in a range of research and industrial contexts.

High sensitivity: Detects low levels of tyrosinase activity with strong signal-to-background ratio
One-step protocol: Simple mix-and-read format minimizes hands-on time and streamlines workflows
Application versatility: Ideal for melanoma research, tyrosinase inhibitor screening, and pigment pathway analysis
Comparable alternative: Offers a reliable solution similar to Abcam's tyrosinase activity assay kits

Tyrosinase dose response was measured with Amplite® Colorimetric Tyrosinase Assay Kit in a 96-well white plate using a SpectraMax microplate reader (Molecular Devices). Equal volume of Tyrosinase standards and Tyrosinase Substrate with enhancer were added and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. The signal was acquired at 510 nm.

Overview

Amplite® Colorimetric Tyrosinase Assay Kit is a simple, one-step assay optimized for the reliable detection of tyrosinase activity in biological samples. Tyrosinase plays a critical role in melanin biosynthesis and is a key target in drug discovery, cancer research, and cosmetic science. This assay utilizes a proprietary colorless substrate that, upon enzymatic reaction with tyrosinase, generates a chromogenic product with strong absorbance at 510 nm. The increase in absorbance is directly proportional to tyrosinase activity, allowing sensitive quantification using a standard microplate reader. The kit is ideal for screening tyrosinase inhibitors, studying melanoma-related illnesses, and assessing enzyme activity in pigment-related pathways across pharmaceutical and food industries.
