Product Details

The Tryptophan Assay Kit is a sensitive quantitative fluorometric assay for tryptophan. Tryptophan Oxidase converts tryptophan to 2-imino-3(indol-3-yl) propanoate and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The H2O2 is then detected with a highly specific fluorometric probe.  Horseradish peroxidase catalyzes the reaction between the probe and hydrogen peroxide, which bind in a 1:1 ratio. Samples and standards are incubated for 60 minutes and then read with a standard 96-well fluorometric plate reader. Samples are compared to a known concentration of tryptophan standard within the 96-well microtiter plate format.
