Acetylcholine Assay Kit provides a simple, direct and high throughput assay for measuring acetylcholine in biological samples.
Principle of the Assay:In this assay, acetylcholine is hydrolyzed by acetylcholinesterase to choline which is oxidized by choline oxidase to betaine and H2O2. The resulting H2O2 reacts with a specific dye to form a pink colored product. The color intensity at 570nm or fluorescence intensity (530/585nm) is directly proportional to the acetylcholine concentration in the sample.
Applications:Assays: Determination of acetylcholine in biological samples such as serum, plasma, urine, saliva, milk, tissue and cell culture
Drug Discovery/Pharmacology: Investigation of effects of drugs on acetylcholine metabolism.
Sample Size: 20ul
Linear Detection Range: 100-200uM (fluorometric assay); 0.4-10uM (colorimetric assay)
