Salicylate is a salt or ester of salicylic acid, and can be found naturally in some plants. It is also a metabolic byproduct of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and salicylate concentrations are often tested in blood or urine in cases of suspected overdose. Salicylic acid is commonly used in skincare products as an exfoliating ingredient, and in other consumer products as a preservative.
Features and Benefits
Linear detection range: 0.8 mM (10.9 mg/dL) to 20 mM (274.2 mg/dL)
Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.
Suitability
The kit is suitable for the determination of salicylate in serum, plasma, urine, beauty products, mouthwash, etc.
Principle
The Salicylate Assay Kit provides a convenient and reliable means to measure salicylate. In the assay, salicylate complexes with ferric chloride to create a colored compound that can be measured at 560 nm.
