This colorimetric assay is based on malatedehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of malate, where the resulting NADH can then convert a nearly colorless probe to a colored product; the intensity of the colored product is proportional to the amount of malate in the sample, exhibiting maximum absorbance at 440 nm. The Malate Assay kit measures the malate level in different types of samples, including tissue and cell lysate.
Product Use: This product is for research purposes only and is not for use in animals, humans, or diagnostic procedures.
Quality Control: Data from Malate Assay kit measuring malate solutions with concentrations ranging from 0.00625 to 0.1 mM show a linear relationship between OD440 nm and malate concentration.
Shipping: Dry ice.
