PROTEOGLYCAN KIT

摘要

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are polysaccharides consisting of repeated dimers. All but hyaluronic acid possess sulfate bases and exist in living organisms in the form of proteoglycans. The new Sulfated GAG Quantitation Kit allows easy quantification of sul-fated GAGs in tissues such as cartilage, cultured chondrocytes, and chondrocyte culture solution. Based on a colorimetric determination method using 1,9-dimethylmethylene blue, the new kit is capable of measuring amounts in the 2.5 to 80 ug/mL range within a wide standard curve. Provided in a standard 96-well plate format that can be stored for up to one year, the kit facilitates simple, simultaneous processing of multiple samples.
