ALT Assay Kit

Majority of the ALT assay kits that are available nowadays are said to be sufficient when it comes to 100 odd fluorometric and colorimetric tests. It is always better if these kits can be stored in temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius. These can be used for human beings as well as mice and rats. Description of ALT Assay Kit ALT or Alanine Aminotransferase is also referred to as serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). It is basically an enzyme that is dependent on pyridoxal-phosphates. It has also been described as homodimeric and it plays a catalytic role in the context of transferring amino group to α-ketoglutarate. This is a transfer that can be reversed. In the process of the aforementioned transfer the kit generates glutamate and pyruvate. ALT is normally seen in organs such as serum and liver. However, that does not mean it does not occur in other tissues of a body. When someone suffers an injury, which is hepatocellular in nature, it is not uncommon to see s...

About Adipolysis Assay Kit

Image
Adipolysisassay kits are used in order to screen compounds that are involved in lipid storage as well as are related to metabolism. These contain reagents that are required in order to induct adipogenesis in an in vitro manner. This releases glycerol that has been accumulated in stored lipid droplets. This kit also measures the glycerol thus released in an accurate manner. This product can be described as a total assay that can be used to study how lipolysis happens in triglycerides. It is also able to demarcate cells that are like adipocyte. It is also capable of dealing with quantitation of glycerol that has been released. Differentiating 3T3-L1 cells The Adipolysis assay kit is capable of differentiating 3T3 –L1 cells as well. For this purpose it uses a procedure that is used quite commonly in adipogenesis induction. As an end part of this process it collects liquid droplets. It also uses isoproterenol in the form of a positive control. In this process it releases...
