Acetate Assay Kit
Acetate is a common anion and fundamental to all forms of
life. When bound to coenzyme A, it is central to the metabolism of
carbohydrates and fats. It is acid form, acetic acid, is produced and excreted
by acetic acid bacteria, such as Acetobacter genus and Clostridium
acetobutylicum, which are found universally in foodstuffs, water, and soil.
Acetic acid is also a component of the vaginal lubrication of humans and other
primates, where it appears to serve as a mild antibacterial agent. Acetic acid
is the main component of vinegar, and extensively used in food, dyes, paints,
glue and synthetic fibres. BioAssay Systems assay uses enzyme-coupled reactions
to form a colored, fluorescent product. The color absorbance at 570nm or
fluorescence intensity at 530nm/585nm is directly proportional to the acetate
concentration in the sample.
