8-Isoprostane Affinity Sorbent Reference: 401113-1 Cayman’s 8-Isoprostane Affinity Sorbent provides a specific and convenient means for the purification of 8-isoprostane (8-iso PGF2α) from urine and plasma samples. Each vial contains 1 ml of affinity sorbent (mouse anti-8-isoprostane monoclonal antibody covalently bound to Sepharose 4).
Free Fatty Acid Fluorometric Assay Kit Reference: 700310-96 The measurement of FFA can be useful in determining metabolic status. Cayman’s Free Fatty Acid (FFA) Assay can be used for measuring free fatty acids in plasma, serum, and urine. The FFA Assay utilizes a coupled enzymatic reaction that results in generation of the highly fluorescent product resorufin.
Uric Acid Assay Kit Reference: 700320-96 Uric acid (urate) is the end product of human purine metabolism and is mainly excreted in urine. Many factors, including genetic components and acquired factors, such as obesity and alcohol consumption, influence serum uric acid concentrations. Hyperuricemia induces or facilitates gout, kidney stones, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and renal and cardiovascular disease, while exercise-induced acute renal failure is a significant complication of renal hypouricemia. Cayman’s Uric Acid Assay provides a fluorescence-based method for detecting uric acid in serum, plasma, and urine.
Thiol Detection Assay Kit Reference: 700340-480 The detection and measurement of free thiols (i.e., free cysteine, glutathione, and cysteine residues on proteins) is one of the essential tasks for investigating biological processes and events in many biological systems. Cayman’s Thiol Detection provides a simple, reproducible, and sensitive tool for assaying free thiol content in samples (i.e., plasma, serum, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and urine). The assay utilizes a proprietary fluorometric detector that reacts with thiol groups to emit a strong fluorescent signal which can be detected using excitation wavelengths between 380-390 nm and emission wavelengths between 510-520 nm.
