Sucrose (C12H22O11) is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose with an α-1,2-glycosidic linkage. It is the most common food sweetener and the most important sugar in plants. In mammals, sucrose is readily digested in the stomach into glucose and fructose, which are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream in the small intestine
Simple, direct and high-throughput assays for measuring sucrose concentrations find wide Applications:. Improved assay uses invertase to digest sucrose into fructose and glucose. The resulting fructose is then quantified using our fructose assay reagent. The measured color intensity at 565nm is directly proportional to the sucrose concentration in the sample.
Key Features:No interference by glucose Use 20ul samplesLinear detection range: 17 to 2000uM sucrose
Applications:Assays: Sucrose in biological samples (e.g. serum, plasma, urine, saliva, milk, culture medium), food, juice, beverage and other agricultural products
Drug Discovery/Pharmacology: Effects of drugs on sucrose metabolism.
Storage and Stability:Store all components at -20°C. Stable for 6 months after receipt. Reconstituted Enzyme is stable for 2 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
