K-CERA | Ceralpha: α-Amylase Assay Kit (100 Assays)

Product code: K-CERA

The Ceralpha Method: α-Amylase test kit is suitable for the specific measurement and analysis of α-amylase in cereal grains and fermentation broths (fungal and bacterial).

Description

Colourimetric method for the determination of α-Amylase in foodstuffs, feed and fermentation products

Principle:
                                            (α-amylase)
(1) Benzylidene-G7-α-PNP + H2O → Benzylidene-GX + G(7-X)-α-PNP

(thermostable α-glucosidase)
(2) G(7-X)-α-PNP + H2O → D-glucose + PNP

(alkaline solution)
(3) PNP → phenolate ion (yellow colour)
Note: PNP = 4-nitrophenol

Kit size:                            100 / 200 assays
