The L-Fucose test kit is a simple, rapid and reliable method, for the measurement and analysis of L-Fucose in plant extracts, biological samples and other materials. This kit can be used in the measurement of α-fucosidases that do not act on chromogenic substrates.
Suitable for manual, auto-analyser and microplate formats.
UV-method for the determination of L-Fucose in plant material,
polysaccharides, pharmaceuticals and other materials
Principle:
(L-fucose dehydrogenase)
(1) L-Fucose + NADP+ → L-fucono-1,5-lactone + NADPH + H+
