Application

This kit is for the quantitative, enzymatic determination of fructose in food and other materials.Fructose is phosphorylated by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the reaction catalyzed by hexokinase. Fructose 6-phosphate is converted to glucose 6-phosphate by phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI). Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) is then oxidized to 6-phosphogluconate in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) in the reaction catalyzed by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH). During this oxidation, an equimolar amount of NAD is reduced to NADH. The consequent increase in absorbance at 340 nm is directly proportional to fructose concentration.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  3. イネの根および葉のフルクトース含量を測定したいと思っています。こちらのキットを使えるでしょうか。また、商品の詳細(分析手順等)について教えていただけると幸いです。

    1 answer
    1. Yes, this kit would be suitable. Here is the link to the Technical Bulletin that describes the use of this product:
      https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/product/documents/111/939/fa20bul.pdf
      For roots and leaves, one would follow the Sample Preparation protocol for Solids. The plant tissue would need to be macerated in order to completely extract the Fructose into the water.
