General description

Glucose is a primary energy source that naturally occurs in its free state in fruits and other plant parts. Abnormal glucose levels have been associated with several metabolic dysfunctions such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and diabetes mellitus. Measurements of glucose levels in tissues and body fluids (such as blood and urine) are often used for the diagnosis of glucose– related disorders. Glucose levels are also monitored to check the efficacy of therapeutics such as insulin and sulphonylureas in type 2 diabetics.

Features and Benefits

Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.

Suitability

Suitable for the determination of glucose concentrations in various biological samples, including serum, plasma, food, or growth medium. This kit is also suitable for monitoring glucose levels during fermentation and glucose feeding in protein expression processes.

Principle

Glucose is oxidized to generate a colorimetric (570 nm)/ fluorometric (λex = 535/λem = 587 nm) product, proportional to the amount of glucose present. The kit is able to detect 1-10,000 μM of glucose in various samples.

Questions

1–4 of 4 Questions  

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. Can this kit be used on solid tissue samples? If so, how should the tissue be homogenized?

    1 answer

    1. This kit can be used for tissue samples. To homogenize, please proceed as follows:
      Homogenize the tissue sample in assay buffer using the following protocol:

      Start with approximately 10 mg of tissue (the amount may need to be optimized), wash in cold PBS and resuspend in ~100 uL of assay buffer provided with the kit.
      Homogenize using a Dounce homogenizer or a pestle, on ice to keep the sample cold (10-15 passes).
      Centrifuge at 4°C in a cold microcentrifuge to remove insoluble.
      Collect the supernatant and keep it on ice throughout sample preparation.

      Use a few different volumes of this supernatant (between 2 and 50 uL) and bring them up to a total volume of 50 µl/well with Glucose Assay Buffer in a 96-well plate, as recommended for a typical liquid sample.
      The reason for trying different volumes of samples is to ensure the readings are within the standard curve range.
      Then proceed with the 'Assay Reaction' step.

      Please see the datasheet below for the assay reaction step:
