Triglyceride Assay

Triglycerides are the primary constituent of body fat in both animals and plants and are an important energy source. Triglyceride Assay is used to investigate lipid-related disorders in research studies. AkrivisBio’s Triglyceride Assay is a simple and sensitive assay to measure triglyceride levels in samples. In this assay, mono, di and triglycerides in samples are hydrolyzed by lipase to generate free fatty acids and free glycerol. Glycerol is then oxidized to generate a product that reacts with the probe to form an intense color or fluorescence measured at OD 570 nm or at Ex/Em = 535/587 nm respectively.
