L-Carnitine Test Kit

Product Description

REAGEN^™ L-Carnitine Test Kit is a simple convenient means of measuring free L-Carnitine in biological samples such as milk powder.

The unique features of the kit are:

1.Low detection limit(2mg/100g)

2.High reproducibility

3.A rapid robust enzyme-based assay.

Procedure Overview

Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound biosynthesized from lysine and methionine. It is required for fatty acid transport into the mitochondrial matrix via the carnitine/ acylcarnitine shuttle, where β-oxidation occurs, acetate is generated and the acetate utilized in the TCA cycle for the generation of energy. Carnitine exists in two stereoisomers. Only L-carnitine is biologically active.

REAGEN^™ L-Carnitine Test Kit assay transfers an acetyl group from CoA to Carnitine and the free CoA formed is further processed with substrate to give absorbance (405 nm).
