Glutamate Assay Kit ab83389 provides a sensitive detection method of the glutamate in a variety of samples.
The glutamate assay kit will only measure free glutamate levels but not glutamic acid found in the backbone of peptides or proteins.
In the glutamate assay protocol, the enzyme mix recognizes glutamate as a specific substrate leading to proportional color development.The amount of glutamate can therefore be easily quantified by colorimetric spectrophotometry at OD = 450 nm.
Glutamate assay protocol summary:
- add samples and standards to wells
- add reaction mix and incubate for 30 min at 37°C
- analyze with microplate reader
EDTA plasma may not be used with the ab83389 Glutamate Assay Kit. EDTA can interfere with the assay. Review our to learn about assays for metabolites, metabolic enzymes, mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress, and also about how to assay metabolic function in live cells using your plate reader.
