Descripción general

Biotinylation is the process of labelling a molecule with a biotin molecule to take advantage of the strong binding and high specificity of biotin and streptavidin for purification or detection applications. Biotinylation is typically used to label proteins or nucleic acid based targets for these applications.[1] Quantitation of biotinylation can be used to optimize the labelling of a given target. Levels of biotinylation can effect detection sensitivity or functionality of a purification product.[2]

Idoneidad

Suitable for estimating the molar ratio of biotin to protein in biotin-protein conjugates or for quantitating biotin concentration in a solution

Principio

This Colorimetric Biotin Quantitation Kit provides a convenient method for estimating the molar ratio of biotin to protein in biotin-protein conjugates or for quantitating biotin concentration in a solution. The assay utilizes HABA (4′-hydroxyazobenzene-2-carboxylic acid), a reagent that shows dramatic spectral changes when bound to avidin. Biotin easily displaces HABA from the HABA/Avidin complex, resulting in a decrease of absorption at 500 nm.

Nota de preparación

Storage and Stability: The kit is shipped on dry ice and storage at –20 °C, protected from light, is recommended.

Precautions and Disclaimer: This product is for R&D;use only, not for drug, household, or other uses. Please consult the Safety Data Sheet for information regarding hazards and safe handling practices.

Questions

1–4 of 4 Questions  

  1. Is it possible to use RIPA buffer as the lysis reagent with the Colorimetric Biotin Assay Kit, product number MAK171-1KT, to extract proteins and biotin from samples such as brain parenchymal tissues?

    1 answer

    1. RIPA buffer as the lysis reagent is acceptable, provided that the concentration of the RIPA buffer is consistent with that of the control.

      Helpful?

  2. What are the instructions for running the kit with catalog number MAK171? Additionally, needs more information to understand the purpose of this kit and how to perform calculations if purchased.

    1 answer

    1. The Colorimetric Biotin Quantitation Kit with catalog number MAK171 offers a convenient method for estimating the molar ratio of biotin to protein in biotin-protein conjugates or for quantifying biotin concentration in a solution. The assay utilizes HABA [2-(4-Hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid], a reagent that exhibits significant spectral changes when bound to avidin. Biotin readily displaces HABA from the HABA/Avidin complex, leading to a decrease in absorption at 500 nm. The kit provides an optimal ratio of Avidin and HABA and is most effective for determining biotin concentration in the range from 2–16 mM. The assay can be carried out in a cuvette or microplate format.

  3. Pourquoi la concentration du control positif n'est pas donnée ? Question de savoir si le test a bien fonctionné et la concentration de notre échantillon est juste.

    1 answer

    1. The positive control is a vial of 100uL of 100uM d-biotin.

      Helpful?

  4. Can I use it to measure serum samples?

    1 answer

    1. This product is suitable for biotin-containing samples. The range of detection for this kit is 2 - 16 uM. Biotin concentrations would need to be within this range. Please see the link below to review the product datasheet for this kit:
