AMMONIA (NH₃) or its ion form ammonium (NH₄⁺) is an important source of nitrogen for living systems and is ubiquitously present in the nature. Simple, direct and automation-ready procedures for measuring NH₃ are very desirable. BioAssay Systems’ updated ammonia/ammonium assay is based on an improved o-phthalaldehyde method. This reagent reacts with ammonia/ammonium and forms a fluorescent product. The fluorescence intensity (λex/em = 415/475 nm) is proportional to the ammonia concentration in the sample.
