Fast and convenient
Kit provides all necessary buffers and reagents for a accurate assay of galactose and lactose individually in various biological samples
Shelf Life: 12 months
Background: Galactose (C?H??O? FW: 180.16) and lactose (C??H??O?? FW: 342.3) are naturally occurring sugars. Lactose consists of one galactose and one glucose. Some people, particularly infants, lack the enzyme necessary to digest galactose leading to galactose accumulation in blood (Galactosemia) causing enlarged liver, renal failure, cataracts and brain damage. MyBioSource's Galactose / Lactose Assay Kit provides a simple, convenient means for direct measurement of galactose and lactose levels in various biological samples (serum, plasma, other body fluids, food, growth media, etc.). To detect Galactose, galactose oxidase specifically oxidizes free galactose, generating a product that reacts with the Galactose Probe to produce color (O.D 570nm) and fluorescence (Ex/Em 535/587). To detect lactose, lactose is hydrolyzed by lactase to generate free galactose which is then measured. Thus, Lactose level = Total Galactose - Free Galactose.
Summary: Detection method- Absorbance (570 nm) or Fluorescence (Ex/Em 535/587 nm)
Species reactivity- Mammalian

Product Notes
The Galactose and Lactose (Catalog #AAA841854) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Galactose and Lactose, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
