Sucrose Assay Kit

Sucrose is the primary product of photosynthesis in plants and serves as the main form for sugar transport and storage. Hence, determining the sucrose content is of great significance for understanding plant sugar metabolism. Moreover, sucrose content is one of the key quality control parameters for various products such as beverages, honey, dried fruits, confectionery, and dairy products. Micro Sucrose Content Assay Kit is designed to quantify sucrose levels in plant samples. The principle involves initially heating the sample with an alkali to degrade reducing sugars. Subsequently, under acidic conditions, sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose, where fructose further reacts with resorcinol to produce a colored substance. This colored product exhibits a characteristic absorption peak at 480 nm, which is then measured for quantification.

Small volumes of Sucrose assay kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS9719649 is an assay kit targeting Sucrose. Also known as Micro Sucrose.
