Product Information: Citrate Assay Kit: Colorimetric & Fluorometric Assay for detecting Citrate in variety of Samples within 40 min. Rapid, Convenient & Reliable. Detection Range: 0.1 to 10 nmoles (~2 muM-10 mM). 100 Assays.

Background: Citric acid (HOOC-CH?-C(-OH)(-COOH)-CH?-COOH) is a key intermediate in the TCA cycle which occurs in mitochondria. It is formed by the addition of oxaloacetate to the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA derived from the glycolytic pathway. Citrate can be transported out of mitochondria and converted back to acetyl CoA for fatty acid synthesis. Citrate is an allosteric modulator of both fatty acid synthesis (acetyl-CoA carboxylase) and glycolysis (phospho- fructokinase). Citrate is widely used industrially in foods, beverages and pharmaceuticals. Citrate metabolism and disposition can vary widely due to sex, age and a variety of other factors. MyBioSource's Citrate Assay Kit provides a simple, sensitive and rapid means of quantifying citrate in a variety of samples. In the assay, citrate is converted to pyruvate via oxaloacetate. The pyruvate is quantified by converting a nearly colorless probe to an intensely colored (570 nm) and fluorescent (Ex/Em, 535/587 nm) product. The Citrate Assay Kit can detect 0.1 to 10 nmoles (~2 uM-10 mM) of citrate in a variety of samples.

Summary: Detection method- Absorbance (570 nm) or Fluorescence (Ex/Em 535/587 nm)
Species reactivity- Mammalian
Applications- The Citrate Assay Kit can detect 0.1 to 10 nmoles (~2 uM-10 mM) of citrate in a variety of samples.

Product Notes

The Citrate (Catalog #AAA841898) 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 "Citrate, 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.
