General description

Aldehydes are highly reactive molecules, which play a role in many physiological, pathological and commercial processes. They have been implicated as environmental pollutants, and in neurodegeneration and DNA damage. A method for rapid and accurate measurement of aldehydes is an important tool for biological and chemical research, the food industry, and environmental pollution surveillance.

The Fluorometric Aldehyde Assay Kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring aldehydes in samples in which the pH is physiological and higher. Aldehyde reacts with a fluorogenic dye, resulting in a fluorometric (λex = 365/λem = 435 nm) product proportional to the amount of aldehydes present. The Fluorometric Aldehyde Assay Kit has a lower limit of detection of 0.3 nanomole of aldehyde in a 100 μL assay volume (3 μM).

Application

This kit is suitable for the detection of aldehydes in a variety of samples, particularly when the samples are at a higher pH. When working with samples in a low pH, product number MAK140, Colorimetric Aldehyde Assay, is more suitable.

Questions

  1. 1) What is the exact chemistry of the kit ?  2) Has crossreactivity of the kit with other chemical groups been tested (e.g. epoxide, benzyl ether)?  Thank you.

    1 answer
    1. This kit specifically detects aldehydes. No cross-reactivity is expected, however, the components and mechanism are proprietary. Please see the link below to review the information sheet for this kit:
