For quantitative determination of glycerol and evaluation of drug effects on glycerol metabolism.

• Linear detection range 10 to 1000 μM (92 μg/dL to 9.2 mg/dL) glycerol for colorimetric assays and 2 to 50 μM for fluorimetric assays
• Homogeneous high-throughput assay

Glycerol [Glycerin or Glycerine, C3H5 (OH) 3] is widely used in foods, beverages and pharmaceutical formulations

BioAssay Systems’ glycerol assay uses a single Working Reagent that combines glycerol kinase, glycerol phosphate oxidase and color reactions in one step. The color intensity of the reaction product at 570nm or fluorescence intensity at λex/em = 530/585nm is directly proportional to glycerol concentration in the sample.

It is also a main by-product of biodiesel production. Simple, direct and automation-ready. Procedures for measuring glycerol concentrations find wide applications.
