Application

Ammonia concentration was measured in serum and urine using the Sigma Ammonia Assay Kit in a study assessing expression of renal ammonia transporters in response to chromic metabolic acidosis. [1]
This kit is for the quantitative, enzymatic determination of ammonia in food and biological samples. Ammonia reacts with α-ketoglutaric acid (KGA) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in the presence of L-glutamate dehydrogenase (GlDH) to form L-glutamate and oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). The decrease in absorbance at 340 nm, due to the oxidation of NADPH, is proportional to the ammonia concentration. L-Glutamate dehydrogenase reacts specifically with ammonia. The Ammonia Assay Kit may be used to determine ammonia concentrations in the range of 0.2-15 μg/ml.

Questions

1–7 of 7 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.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  3. In the case of bacterial culture supernatant (BHI broth), should the decolorization process be performed? How?

    1 answer

    1. Any sample solution that is strongly colored and/or has a low ammonia concentration should be decolorized when using this kit. Colored sample solutions often are treated with decolorizing carbon (activated charcoal) to remove color-contributing impurities.

  4. How can I assess the absorbance change of my reagent blank when using Product AA0100, Ammonia Assay Kit?

    1 answer

    1. Generally, an absorbance change of 0.050 or less indicates an acceptable range for the reagent blank. An absorbance change higher than this indicates possible contamination of the reagent (or glassware) with ammonia.

  5. Which samples should be deproteinized for use with Product AA0100, Ammonia Assay Kit?

    1 answer

    1. The basis for this kit was a Diagnostic procedure for the determination of Ammonia in human plasma, whose total protein concentration is approximately 63 to 83 mg/mL. Thus, any solution whose protein concentration is less than approximately 83 mg/mL should not require deproteinization.

      Helpful?

  6. Is there a control that can be used to assess the accuracy of Product AA0100, Ammonia Assay Kit?

    1 answer

    1. A convenient control for use with this kit is the Ammonia Standard Solution that is provided in the kit.

  7. What is the Department of Transportation shipping information for this product?

    1 answer

    1. Transportation information can be found in Section 14 of the product's (M)SDS.To access the shipping information for this material, use the link on the product detail page for the product.
