Fast and convenient
The assay is sensitive, stable and high-throughput adaptable
The kit takes advantage of the specific requirement of glycerol kinase for Mg
Shelf Life: 12 months
Background: Magnesium is the 11th most abundant element by mass in the human body. Mg is essential to all living cells where it plays an important role in facilitating the processing of biological polyphosphates like ATP, DNA, RNA and enzyme functions. Mg is the metallic ion at the center of chlorophyll, and a common additive to fertilizers. Mg compounds are used as laxatives, antacids, and used to stabilize abnormal nerve excitation and blood vessel spasm i.e., eclampsia. The MyBioSource Magnesium Assay Kit provides a simple sensitive means of quantitating magnesium in a variety of biological samples. The kit takes advantage of the specific requirement of glycerol kinase for Mg. An enzyme linked reaction leads to formation of an intensely colored (lambdamax = 450nm) product whose formation is proportional to Mg concentration. The linear range of the assay is 2-15 nmoles with detection sensitivity~ 40 uM.
Summary: Detection method- Absorbance (450 nm)
Species reactivity- Mammalian
Applications- The linear range of the assay is 2-15 nmoles with detection sensitivity~ 40 uM.

Product Notes
The Magnesium (Catalog #AAA841797) 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 "Magnesium, 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
