LipoQ™ Lipid Quantification Assay
Product description
LipoQ™ enables a simple, rapid detection of lipids presented in a variety of formats.
Assay principle
LipoQ™ uses the sulfo-phospo-vanillin method to measure the lipid content of your samples. Unsaturated fatty acids within a sample will react with concentrated sulphuric acid, which in combination with phospho-vanillin will form a pink colored solution. The intensity of the pink color formed is determined by the total lipid concentration within the sample, enabling a reliable colorimetric assay that can be read using a plate reader.
Each kit provides sufficient reagents to perform 100 tests, and includes standards.
