Our Amplite™ Colorimetric Aldehyde Quantitation Kit uses a proprietary sensor that generates a chromogenic product with an absorbance at 620 nm upon reacting with an aldehyde. This kit provides a sensitive mix-and-read method to detect as little as 0.3 nanomole of aldehyde in a 100 µL assay volume (3 µM). The assay can be performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microtiter-plate format and easily adapted to automation without a separation step and the signal can be read by an absorbance plate reader at the wavelength between 620 and 660 nm.
