PicoProbe beta-Hydroxybutyrate Assay Kit
PicoProbe beta-Hydroxybutyrate Fluorometric Assay Kit
Analysis of beta-Hydroxybutyrate in pathological conditions
Urine or other body fluids
Food such as milk etc.
Highly sensitive: The assay can detect less than 4 uM of beta-Hydroxybutyrate (beta-HB) in various sample types.
Shelf Life: 12 months
Background: beta-Hydroxybutyrate (beta-HB) is the most abundant of the ketone bodies (~78% of total ketone bodies in blood). Ketoacidosis (high concentrations of the ketone bodies) can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as diabetes, alcoholism and severe starvation. Ketoacidosis can be fatal if not treated. Additionally, ketogenic diets can increase the concentration of ketone bodies slightly in healthy individuals. MyBioSource's beta-Hydroxybutyrate Assay Kit offers simplicity, enhanced sensitivity, and can be adapted to high-throughput applications. The assay is based on enzymatic oxidation of beta-HB that results in generation of fluorescent signal (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm) which is directly proportional to the amount of beta-HB. The kit offers an excellent alternative for measurement of beta-HB when biological sample quantities are limited or subketogenic levels are suspected. The assay can detect beta-Hydroxybutyrate as low as 4 uM in a variety of biological samples.
Summary: Detection method- Fluorescence (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm)
Applications: - Measurement of beta-Hydroxybutyrate in various biological samples - Analysis of beta-Hydroxybutyrate in pathological conditions

Product Notes
The PicoProbe beta-Hydroxybutyrate (Catalog #AAA841540) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Measurement of beta-Hydroxybutyrate in various biological samples Analysis of beta-Hydroxybutyrate in pathological conditions. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PicoProbe beta-Hydroxybutyrate for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PicoProbe beta-Hydroxybutyrate, 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
