CheKine™ Micro Glycogen Assay Kit

CheKine™ Micro Glycogen Assay kit provides a simple, convenient, rapid and colorimetric glycogen detection method. The principle of kit is strong alkaline extract glycogen, under strong acidic conditions, blue compounds with anthrone chromogenic agent with characteristic absorption peak at 620 nm. In a certain concentration range, glycogen concentration is linearly related to 620 nm absorbance. According to the standard curve, the glycogen concentration in the sample can be calculated.

• simple, sensitive, rapid Glycogen detection method.
• compatible to animal or plant tissues, bacteria, cell cultures (adherent or suspension) .
• Provides detailed sample preparation and results calculation methods.

The kit is valid for 12 months. Please refer to the table below Materials supplied and Storage conditions to store all the components.

Glycogen is a polymer polysaccharide composed of glucose. It is one of the main storage forms of glucose. It is mainly stored in liver and muscle as reserve energy, which is called liver glycogen and muscle glycogen respectively. Liver glycogen can regulate the concentration of blood glucose. When blood glucose rises, glycogen can be synthesized in the liver. When blood glucose decreases, liver glucose principle decomposes into glucose to supplement blood glucose. Therefore, liver glycogen is very important to maintain the relative balance of blood glucose. Muscle glycogen is the storage form of glucose in muscle. When strenuous exercise consumes a large amount of blood glucose, muscle glycogen can not be decomposed directly into blood glucose. It was decomposed to produce lactic acid and circulate to the liver with blood. It is transformed into liver glycogen and glucose by gluconeogenesis.
