Product Information: Formate Assay Kit: Colorimetric Assay for detecting Formate in various Biological Samples such as Serum, Plasma, Cells, Culture & Fermentation mediums, etc. Rapid, Convenient & Reliable. 100 Assays.
Background: Formic acid (HCOOH) is the simplest carboxylic acid and occurs naturally, notably in ant and bee venom. It is normally present at low levels in blood and urine (up to ~ 0.5 mM) but can be present in concentrations as high as 5 mM in acute methanol poisoning. Environmental exposure to formaldehyde can also elevate the blood and urine levels of formate. In the Formate Assay Kit, formate is oxidized to generate a product resulting in color formation (lambda = 450 nm) proportional to formate concentration. The kit provides a convenient means for detecting formate in biological samples such as in serum or plasma, cells, culture and fermentation media. There is no need for pretreatment or purification of samples.
Summary: Detection method- Absorbance (450 nm)
Species reactivity- Mammalian
Applications- The assay can detect formate in the range from 0.5 to 10 nmols/well.

Product Notes
The Formate (Catalog #AAA841456) 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 "Formate, 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
