CheKine™ Glucose Assay Kit | KTB1300

Product Overwiew:

CheKine™ Glucose Assay Kit provides simple, direct measurement of glucose concentrations in samples.

Background:

Glucose (C6H12O6, FW: 180.16) is the primary biological fuel source used to generate the universal energy molecule, ATP. Due to its importance in metabolism, glucose level is a key diagnostic parameter for many metabolic disorders. Abnormal glucose levels have been associated with several metabolic dysfunctions such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and diabetes mellitus. Measurements of glucose levels in tissues and body fluids (such as blood and urine) are often used for the diagnosis of glucose related disorders. Glucose levels are also monitored to check the efficacy of therapeutics such as insulin and sulfonylureas in type 2 diabetics.
