Trehalose Colorimetric Assay Kit

Trehalose is found in a large number of organisms, including bacteria, algae, yeast, plants, insects, and other invertebrates. Because trehalose has unique biological characteristics different from other carbohydrates, it can protect the protein, lipid, carbohydrate, nucleic acid, and other components of biological cells from damage under harsh environments such as drought, high temperature, dehydration, freezing, high osmotic pressure, and toxic substances.

With this kit, trehalase hydrolyzes trehalose into two molecules of glucose, and the glucose content is detected by the GOD-POD method. Other disaccharides such as maltose and lactose do not interfere with the determination. This kit is useful for researchers studying carbohydrate metabolism and stress responses.
