Information d'application

Préparation des réactifs:

1. Enzyme Solution:
   a. Dissolve lyophilized Enzyme Reagent in 10 mL of purified water.
   b. Filter solution with a 0.45 µm membrane filter.
   c. Aliquot and store the enzyme solution at -20°C until needed. The frozen enzyme solution is stable for 3 months. Avoid repeat freeze/thaw cycles.
   2. Calibrator Solution:
   a. Serial dilute the Chondroitin Sulfate Calibrator (100 µg/mL) in sterile purified water to 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.3, and 3.1 µg/mL.
   b. The diluted calibrator can be stored frozen at -20°C for 1 year.
   3. Staining Solution:
   a. Prepare Staining Stock Solution just prior to performing the assay. Color of the diluted staining stock solution may fade in 5 seconds - 5 minutes. Fading is normal and does not affect the performance of the solution.
   b. Mix 0.4 mL of Staining Stock Solution to 12.6 mL of Buffer. Protect from light.

Détail du antigène

Antigène: Acidic Mucopolysaccharide

Sujet: Mucopolysaccharides are a class of polysaccharides found in connective tissue that provides structural integrity to animals. The Acidic Mucopolysaccharide Kit is a simple and fast assay for the quantitative colorimetric determination of acidic mucopolysaccharides in animal cartilage tissue or cultured chondrocytes (cell layers or spheroid cell clusters). Cartilage tissue or cell layers are enzymatically treated to digest proteins and leave behind the acidic mucopolysaccharides. The acidic mucopolysaccharides are stained and the resulting blue color is measured by a spectrophotometer at wavelength 650 nm. Conventional methodologies for the quantification of acidic mucopolysaccharides incorporate radioisotopes. Our colorimetric assay provides a convenient alternative to using radioisotopes. The Acidic Mucopolysaccharide Kit is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. The stain contained in the kit can differentiate between acid mucopolysaccharides and other acidic biological substances.
