Description
Galactose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is a monosaccharide that is found in dairy products, sugar beets, gums and mucilages. It is also synthesized in mammals, where it forms part of glycolipids and glycoproteins in several tissues. It forms the disaccharide lactose when combined with glucose. Simple, direct and high-throughput assays for galactose determination find wide applications. MesGen Biotechnology uses specific enzyme-coupled reactions to form a colored product. The color intensity at 570nm or fluorescence intensity at 530nm/585nm is directly proportional to the galactose concentration in the sample.

Key features
Use as little as 10 μL samples. Linear detection range in 96-well plate: 10 to 2500 μM galactose for colorimetric assays and 2 to 100 μM for fluorimetric assays.

Applications
Direct Assays: galactose in serum, plasma, urine, saliva, milk, culture medium and other biological samples.
Drug Discovery/Pharmacology: effects of drugs on galactose metabolism.
Food and Beverages: galactose in food and beverages products.

Storage conditions
The kit is shipped on dry ice. Store all components at -20°C.

Shelf life
3 months after receipt.
