Carrez Clarification Reagent Kit (ab202373) has been designed to treat a wide variety of samples prior analysis of small molecules such as alcohols, aldehydes, carbohydrates or organic acids. Proteins, fats or redox compounds found in samples such as food or blood can interfere with the analysis of small molecules and affect the assay outcome. Carrez Clarification reagents remove the interfering compounds from the analytes and eliminate turbidity and emulsions, the later having a particular impact in food testing. The treatment of samples with Carrez Clarification Reagents is simple, less expensive and less time-consuming than other methods such as spin filtering.
This product is not suitable for samples to be used for enzymatic activity quantification. Carrez Clarification reagents cannot be used to prepare samples that contain or maybe converted to ascorbate, ammonia/urea, or citrate (aconitate) in enzyme-based assays.
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K809 Carrez Clarification Reagent Kit. K809-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab202373.
Exposure to Carrez Reagent I to strong acids must be avoidded as it may produce toxic cyanide gas.
