Background: Nickel is one of four ferromagnetic elements (symbol Ni, at. Num. 28). Several enzymes depend on nickel for activity, including some ureases, carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (methane forming enzymes which reduce CO? to CH?) and some hydrogenases which allow the production or removal of H2. Most of these activities are found in the archaebacteria. Nickel forms complexes with sulfhydryl compounds with significant absorbance in the UV/visible region in the presence of other ions. MyBioSource's Nickel Assay kit provides a simple method of quantifying Ni in a variety of samples. The assay takes advantage of reaction of Ni with mercaptoethanol in borate buffer to form a complex with strong absorbance bands from ~300 to 600 nm. Fe and Co interfere with the assay, therefore extra steps (as described below) must be taken to subtract the interference in order to determine the correct Nickel concentration in mixed samples. Other ions tested (Mn, Cu, Zn) do not interfere with the assay, presumably no other ionic species are present in high enough concentration to interfere with the reaction. The assay is a simple method of quantifying Ni in a variety of samples, which gives a linear range of 2 to 50 nmol Nickel containing less than 25 nmol Cobalt.

Product Notes
The Nickel (Catalog #AAA841803) 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 "Nickel, 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
