Product Details
Applications of the Glucatell® Beta-Glucan Assay Kit
The Glucatell® beta-D-glucan assay is ideal for various applications, including:
- Analyzing final products for (1→3)-β-D-glucan
- Investigating LAL Out-of-Specification results
- Qualifying raw materials
- Monitoring cellulosic filter extractables
- Monitoring fungal fermentation processes
- Analyzing fermentation and cell culture media
- Monitoring airborne glucan burden
Sample to Lysate Ratio
- Kinetic Assay: 25 µL of sample or standard is mixed with 100 µL of reagent in a microplate.
- End-point Assay: 50 µL of sample is mixed with 50 µL of reagent in a microplate.
Test Performance: Beta-Glucan Assay Kit
- Kinetic Assay: The Glucatell®/sample mixture is incubated at 37°C ± 1°C in a microplate reader equipped with a 405 nm filter and analyzed over time by a suitable software program.
- End-point Assay: The Glucatell®/sample mixture is placed in a microplate heating block at 37°C ± 1°C for the recommended period. 50 µL each of the three diazo reagents is added to the mixture to stop the reaction, which is then read at 540–550 nm. The concentration of the samples is analyzed by a suitable software program.
Product Stability
Store all reagents at 2–8°C in the dark. Reconstituted Glucatell® reagent should be stored at 2–8°C and used within 2 hours. Alternatively, reconstituted Glucatell® reagent can be frozen at -20°C for 20 days, thawed once, and used. The diazo reagents should be used the day they are prepared.
Product Packaging
The Glucatell® beta-D-glucan assay is available as either as an endpoint or kinetic chromogenic assay for use in microplates. The kit contains the Glucatell® reagent, a (1→3)-β-D-glucan standard, buffer, diazo reagents (end-point kit only), glucan-free water, and glucan-free microplates.
