Product Overview :
Ammonia Assay Kit is a quantitative fluorimetric determination of ammonia at FL360/450 nm.
Description :
AMMONIA (NH3) or its ion form ammonium (NH4+) is an important source of nitrogen for living systems and is ubiquitously present in the nature. Simple, direct and automation-ready procedures for measuring NH3 are very desirable. Ammonia Assay Kit is based on an improved o-phthalaldehyde method. This reagent reacts with ammonia/ ammonium and forms a fluorescent product. The fluorescence intensity (λex/em = 360/450nm) is proportional to the ammonia concentration in the sample.
Applications :
Ammonia/ammonium determination in biological (e.g. urine) and environmental samples.
Usage :
For research use only (RUO)
Storage :
Store kit at -20°C. Shelf life of 6 months after receipt.
