Glycogen Assay Kits

• Suitable for use with serum, plasma, urine, lysates, and cell culture supernatants
• Detection sensitivity of 3.75µM (colorimetric) or 0.12 µM (fluorometric)
• Glycogen standard included

NOTE: Each sample replicate requires 2 assays for proper data calculation. 

Our Glycogen Assay Kits measure glycogen in serum, plasma, urine, lysates, and cell culture supernatants. First, glycogen is broken down into glucose monomers by amyloglucosidase. Glucose is then oxidized by glucose oxidase, producing D-gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide reacts specifically with the kit’s Probe and is detected with either a standard microplate reader (colorimetric format) or a fluorescence plate reader (fluorometric format). Glycogen levels in unknown samples are determined based on the provided glycogen standard curve.
