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

• Linear detection range 0.023 - 2 mM glutamine in 96-well plate assay
• Convenient room temperature. No 37°C heater is needed
• Can be readily automated to process thousands of samples per day

Glutamine is an amino acid synthesized in the muscle that plays major roles in protein synthesis, acid-base balance, anabolic processes and is utilized for cellular energy and as a carbon source

BioAssay Systems’ EnzyChrom™ glutamine assay kit is based on hydrolysis of glutamine to glutamate and colorimetric determination of the product. The intensity of the product color, measured at 565 nm, is proportional to the glutamine concentration in the sample.

It is used in treatment of injury, trauma, burns, and also as a supplement for muscle growth and post-surgery healing. Simple, direct and automation-ready. Procedures for measuring glutamine concentration are very desirable.
