Enzymatic methods for determining glucose are commonly used in biochemical detection, with Glucose (Dextrose, Glu), chemical formula C₆H₁₂O₆, molecular weight 180.16, is the most widely distributed and important monosaccharide in nature, belonging to polyhydroxy aldehydes. Enzymatic methods for determining glucose are commonly used in biochemical detection, with the most frequently used being the glucose oxidase method and the hexokinase method. The characteristics of these enzymatic methods are:High sensitivity, accuracy, and precision;Use mild reaction conditions;Specific for glucose, not interfered with by other sugars and reducing substances;Simple operation;Suitable for automatic analyzers.Detection Principle: Under the catalysis of glucose oxidase, glucose is oxidized to gluconic acid, simultaneously consuming oxygen in the solution. The generated hydrogen peroxide reacts with an oxidative chromogen to form a red quinone compound. The amount of hydrogen peroxide produced in the initial reaction is proportional to the glucose concentration. Colorimetric determination is performed using a spectrophotometer at 505 nm. This kit is specifically designed for the quantitative determination of glucose content in human or animal serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, cells, tissues, and other samples. It is not suitable for direct detection of glucose in urine.*Note: Glu Standard (5 mmol/L) = 90 mg/dL.*G1501761Component200TStorageG1501761APhenol Reagent80 mLRT.

Reagent PreparationShortly before use, mix the Phenol Reagent and Enzyme Reagent in equal volumes to prepare the GOD-POD Working Solution. Store at 4°C.2. Sample Preparation2.1 Serum, Plasma, Cerebrospinal Fluid SamplesSerum or plasma separated from the test sample should not be hemolyzed. Detect directly. If the concentration exceeds the linear range (30 mmol/L), dilute with normal saline or PBS before assay.2.2 Cell Samples(1) Take an appropriate amount of cells (generally recommended >10⁶), centrifuge at 1000 g for 10 min, discard the supernatant, keep the pellet.(2) Wash 1-2 times with PBS or normal saline, centrifuge at 1000 g for 10 min, discard the supernatant, keep the pellet.(3) Add 200-300 µL of PBS or normal saline and homogenize. Ultrasonicate on ice (power 300 W, 3-5 s each time, 30 s interval, repeat 3-5 times). The prepared homogenate should not be centrifuged.*Alternatively, manually homogenize (prepared homogenate should not be centrifuged). Or lyse with 1-2% Triton X-100 on ice for 30-60 min (prepared lysate should not be centrifuged).*2.3 Tissue SamplesAccurately weigh an appropriate amount of tissue. Add normal saline or PBS at a ratio of 1:9 (mass (g) : volume (mL)). Homogenize manually or mechanically on ice. Centrifuge at 2500-3000 g for 10 min. Collect the supernatant.3. Assay SetupRefer to the table below to set up Blank, Standard, and Test tubes. Add solutions sequentially, mix well, and incubate at 37°C in a water bath or 45°C in an incubator for 15 minutes.Reagent (mL)Blank TubeStandard TubeTest TubeddH₂O0.008//Glu Standard (5 mmol/L)/0.008/Test Sample//0.008GOD-POD Working Solution0.80.80.8 4. Measurement After cooling, transfer to a 1.0 mL cuvette. Measure the absorbance at 505 nm. Zero the instrument with the Blank tube. Read the absorbances of the Standard tube and Test tube, recorded as A standard and A test, respectively. 5. Result Calculation Glu (mmol/L) = A test / A standard × 5 Glu (mg/L) = A test / A standard × 900 Reference Interval Healthy adults fasting glucose: 3.9 - 6.1 mmol/L (70 - 110 mg/dL) *Note: Glu Standard (5 mmol/L) = 90 mg/dL = 900 mg/L*Precautions1. The prepared GOD-POD Working Solution should be stored at 4°C protected from light and is valid for 1 week. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles for low-temperature reagents to prevent inactivation or decreased efficiency.2. Use serum or plasma anticoagulated with potassium oxalate-sodium fluoride (inhibits glucose decomposition) for testing. Cerebrospinal fluid can be detected directly. If test samples cannot be assayed immediately, store at 2-8°C; stable for 3 days.3. Urine glucose is often quantified using this method, but cannot be detected directly. First, perform a semi-quantitative test on the urine sample using Benedict's method. Based on the approximate content, dilute the urine with distilled water so that the glucose content is below 3 mg/mL before detection. Multiply the result by the dilution factor. This is because untreated urine contains high concentrations of reducing substances like uric acid, which affect the peroxidase reaction and may cause falsely low results.4. Low-concentration samples will also turn red over time. Therefore, detection should be performed promptly after 15 minutes; the time should not be too long.5. Without zeroing the microplate reader, the typical reference range for the blank is 0.04-0.09, and for the 5 mmol/L standard is 0.25-0.45. Reference ranges may vary due to differences in instruments and operating methods.6. The lower detection limit of this kit is 0.1 mmol/L, and the upper limit is 30 mmol/L. Visual observation: concentration ≤ 0.6 mmol/L is almost colorless; concentration ≥ 0.7 mmol/L shows light red; concentration ≥ 2.5 mmol/L shows red. Generally, results are more accurate near the upper limit than near the lower limit.7. The linear range of this method can reach 30 mmol/L. If the sample glucose concentration is too high, the result may be falsely low. Dilute with normal saline or PBS and re-assay, multiplying the result by the dilution factor.8. Use reagents promptly after opening to avoid affecting subsequent experimental results.9. For your safety and health, please wear lab coats and disposable gloves during operation.10.

The main component of the detection reagent is a redox indicator. In the oxidized stateProduct IntroductionAlamar Blue detection reagent provides a simple, rapid, reliable and safe method for cell proliferation and cytotoxicity detection, which is suitable for high-throughput detection experiments. The main component of the detection reagent is a redox indicator. In the oxidized state, it appears purple-blue and non-fluorescent, while in the reduced state, it turns into a reduction product with pink or red fluorescence, with an absorption peak of 530-560nm and an emission peak of 590nm.In the process of cell proliferation, the ratios of NADPH/NADP, FADH/FAD, FMNH/FMN and NADH/NAD in the cell increase and are in a reducing environment. The dye taken into the cell is reduced by these metabolic intermediates and cytochromes and then released outside the cell and dissolved in the culture medium, changing the culture medium from non-fluorescent indigo blue to fluorescent pink. Finally, use an ordinary spectrophotometer or fluorophotometer for detection, and the absorbance and fluorescence intensity are proportional to the number of active cells.Instructions1. Add 10µl of detection reagent to 100µl of cell suspension, and incubate in a cell incubator for 2-6 hours. The color of the medium changes from indigo blue to pink and you can proceed to the next step.2. It is recommended to use a fluorescence microplate reader for detection, the excitation light wavelength is between 530-560 nm, the emission light wavelength is 590 nm, and the relative fluorescence unit (RFU) is recorded.3. Draw a standard curve or cell growth curve: the ordinate (Y axis) is the relative fluorescence unit (RFU); the abscissa (X axis) is the cell number or time point or drug concentration.Precautions1. The appropriate density of cells can increase the detection sensitivity. For 96-well plates, we recommend seeding 100 microliters of cells per well. The cell concentration range is: 100-10,000/well for adherent cells, 2,000-50,000/well for suspension cells, and medium as a blank control. For 384-well plates, the cell concentration and seeding volume are both halved.2. The whole process should be aseptic operation, because microbial contaminants can also reduce the detection reagents and affect the experimental results.3. Pay attention to the concentration of inoculated cells and the incubation time after adding detection reagents. If the cell concentration is too high or the incubation time is too long, it will cause a secondary reduction reaction, resulting in colorlessness and disappearance of fluorescence.4. When incubating, avoid light.5. This product can use fluorescence or spectrophotometric detection, but the sensitivity of fluorescence is high, and the experimental error is small. Fluorescence detection is recommended... Read More | Glycogen and starch generate glucose-1-phosphate (1PG/G1P) during the process of phosphohydrolysis.
