Research Use Only

Our Starch Assay Kit (Colorimetric) measures starch in food samples. First, starch 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 Colorimetric Probe and is detected with a spectrophotometric plate reader at 540-570nm. Starch levels in unknown samples are determined based on the provided starch standard curve.

Upon receipt, store the 10X Assay Buffer at room temperature. Store all other components at -20ºC. The Colorimetric Probe is light sensitive and must be stored accordingly. Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
