Sensitive and accurate. Uses 50 uL samples. Linear detection range 0.12 uM (0.78 ug/dL) to 10 uM (65 ug/dL) zinc in 96-well assay format.Simple and high-throughput. The procedure involves addition of a single working reagent and incubation for 30 min. Can be readily automated as a high-throughput assay for thousands of samples per day.Improved reagent stability and versatility. The optimized formulation has greatly enhanced reagent and signal stability. Cuvette or 96-well plate assay formats possible. Low interference in biological samples. No pretreatments are needed.

Detection Principle
0.78 ug/dL (0.12 uM)
Shelf Life
6 months
Specifity
For quantitative determination of zinc ion Zn2+ and evaluation of drug effects on zinc metabolism.
