The L-Asparagine/L-Glutamine/Ammonia test kit is a novel method for the specific, convenient, cost effective and rapid measurement and analysis of L-asparagine, L-glutamine and ammonia as acrylamide precursors in the food industry, or as cell culture media/supernatant components, or in other materials. Includes 100 assays (50 of each).

Compatible with MegaQuant™ Wave Spectrophotometer

Advantages:

• Very rapid reaction due to use of uninhibited glutamate dehydrogenase
• All enzymes supplied as stabilized suspensions
• Only kit available
• Very cost effective
• All reagents stable for > 2 years after preparation
• Extended cofactors stability. Dissolved cofactors stable for > 1 year at 4oC.
• Mega-Calc™ software tool for hassle-free raw data processing
• Standard included

Principle:

• (glutaminase)
  • (1) L-Glutamine + H2O → L-glutamate + NH4+
• (microbial glutamate dehydrogenase)
  • (2) NH4+ + 2-oxoglutarate + NADPH → L-glutamate + NADP+ + H2O
• (asparaginase)
  • (3) L-Asparagine + H2O → L-aspartate + NH4+
• Kit size: 50 assays of each
• Method: Spectrophotometric at 340 nm
• Reaction time: ~ 20 min
• Detection limit: 0.50 mg/L (L-asparagine) 0.54 mg/L (L-glutamine) 0.06 mg/L (ammonia)
