Ascorbic Acid (AsA) Kit

Principle of the Assay: Ascorbic acid (AsA), also known as vitamin C, is a coenzyme, free radical scavenger, electron community/acceptor, and substrate for oxalate and tartrate biosynthesis. As the most important antioxidant in plant cells, AsA plays an important role in protecting chloroplasts from oxidative damage and is one of the important indicators to measure the quality of crop products. CheKine™ Micro Ascorbic Acid (AsA) Assay Kit provides a simple test to detect the AsA content in biological samples such as animal and plant tissues, cells, blood serum and other fluids. Ascorbate oxidase (AAO) catalyzes the oxidation of AsA to DHA, and the AsA content can be calculated by measuring the oxidation rate of AsA.

Small volumes of AsA 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.

MBS9719416 is a kit targeting AsA. Also known as Micro Ascorbic Acid (AsA) Assay Kit.
