Inquiry
Cat. No.:
OB0525WXX-410
Synonyms:
Oxalate assay kit; Oxalate
Size:
100T
Specification
Description:
Oxalate assay kit (Colorimetric) is a metabolic assay kit for the rapid and sensitive detection of oxalate. The detection limit is 20 µM.
Background:
Oxalate is a molecule composed of an oxide and a carboxyl group. It is a metabolic breakdown product during the Krebs cycle and can be found in mammalian urine. Oxalate can combine with calcium to form insoluble calcium oxalate, which leads to kidney stones. Calcium is excreted in high concentrations in normal urine, making oxalate a more accurate marker for kidney stones.
Assay Type:
Quantitative assay
Assay Principle:
The oxalate oxidase reaction and the color development reaction can be performed in one step using a single working reagent. Thus, the color intensity of the reaction product at 595 nm changes in proportion to the amount of oxalate in the sample.
Assay Target:
Oxalate
Target Species:
Universal
Research Area:
TCA cycle; Obesity research; Food safety and analysis; Cation and inorganic ion
Sample Type:
Urine; Animal; Plant tissue samples
Kit Components:
Reagent A; Reagent B; HRP enzyme; OX enzyme; Standard
Detection Limit:
20 µM
Reaction Time:
10 min
Stability:
6 Months
Applications:
Oxalate assay kit (Colorimetric) is used to detect oxalate (oxalic acid) in urine and animal tissue samples.
