Triglyceride colorimetric assay kit

Triglyceride Colorimetric Assay Kit is a simple, reproducible and sensitive tool for assaying triglycerides in plasma, serum, cell lysates and tissue homogenate samples.

• Measure TG levels in plasma, serum, cell lysates, and tissue homogenates
• Assay 26 samples in triplicate and 40 samples in duplicate
• Assay range: 3,125 - 200 mg/dl
• Incubation: 15 minutes
• Read: Colorimetric at 530 - 550 nm

The measurement of triglyceride levels, in conjunction with other lipid assays, are useful in the diagnosis of primary and secondary hyperlipoproteinemia, dyslipidemia, and triglyceridemia. This kit provides a simple, reproducible, and sensitive tool for assaying triglycerides in plasma, serum, cell lysates, and tissue homogenate samples. The assay is initiated with the enzymatic hydrolysis of the triglycerides by lipase to produce glycerol and free fatty acids. The glycerol released is subsequently measured by a coupled enzymatic reaction system with a colorimetric readout at 540 nm.
