General description

Succinate (succinic acid) is a citric acid cycle intermediate and functions in the transport of electrons to the mitochondrial electron transport chain.[1][2] It also functions in innate immune signaling and induces IL-1β production during inflammation. Succinates have been often used for the treatment of hypertension.[3] Succinate measurements can be useful for studying its metabolic, immunological, and therapeutic activities.

Application

Succinate Colorimetric Assay Kit has been used to measure the concentration of succinate.[4][5]

Suitability

Suitable for the detection of succinate in a variety of samples such as cell and tissue culture supernatants and in liquid samples such as wine.

Principle

The Succinate Colorimetric Assay Kit is a highly sensitive assay for determining succinate levels (ranging from 2-10 nmole/well) in a variety of samples. Succinate concentration is determined by a coupled enzyme reaction, which results in a colorimetric (450 nm) product proportional to the succinate present.

Questions

1–2 of 2 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.
