Description
D-amino acids are not as widespread as their enantiomeric counterparts in proteins but they can be found in organisms ranging from bacteria (cell walls and antibiotics) to mammals (central nervous systems). The presence of D-amino acids in food is also of considerable interest. Racemization of L-amino acids during food processing may affect food quality and nutritional value. MesGen Biotech’ D-amino acid assay uses an enzyme-catalyzed oxidation of D-amino acids to convert a dye into a colored and fluorescent form. The absorbance at 570 nm is directly proportional to the D-amino acid concentration in the sample.

Key features
Fast and sensitive. Linear detection range: 2.0 μM -10 mM (colorimetric assay) for 15 min reaction.
Convenient. The procedure involves adding a single working reagent and reading after 15 minutes.
High-throughput. Homogeneous "mix-incubate-measure" type assay.

Applications
D-Amino Acid determination in tissue, milk, and other biological
preparations.

Storage conditions
The kit is shipped on dry ice. Store all components at -20°C upon receiving. Shelf life: 6 months after receipt.
